Did anybody say Steve Earle, James McMurtry, Guy Clark, Robert Earl Keen, Butch Hancock, Joe Ely, or Jimmie Dale Gilmore? Just get 'em all and call 'em the Flatlanders with Steve, James, and Guy.
The Radiators with Leftover Salmon. :cheers They just played for free at the Concert at the Square. I think those two bands would have such a great time together. I’d love for them to be a double bill at the Mardi Gras Ball I go to. That would be insane. Just sayin… :cheers
Who do you want to hear, inside or outside the Bluegrass box?
New guy just coming up named James Dupre. His first record, produced by Jerry Douglas, was released back in February. He’s an EMT by day in Cajun country. Really fine talent! You will here more from this guy. He’s the real deal.
