Emmylou, Gillian and Patty Griffin live at the Keswick.

I know I haven't exactly been a regular around here lately, but only 13 hits and one response? Maybe I oughta rethink the prog thing. On second thought, no thanks! Hey, it was a great show, although my review, written while I had a nice beer-buzz, isn't all that interesting I suppos. But only 13 hits makes me realize that Emmylou doesn't mean much to many of the visitors here. Maybe they just don't like me, although I find that hard to believe.

It does seem to be over-run with proggers, eh? Just kidding, proggers- ya'll have fun with whatever fills yr boots.

As for me, I'm tuning up for an $8 outdoor concert from The Subdudes here tonight. I don't get outta the chair for many shows anymore, but I couldn't pass this one up, even if DLD wasn't impressed with 'em at the Jazz Fest earlier this yr. They're an old favorite f mine, and their latest release after a several-year hiatus, Miracle Mule, is as good as anything they've done.

I've been meaning to pick up Emmylou's Wrecking Ball disc for a long, long time now. I might just have to move it up to the top of the list now.

I've been playing Patty Griffin's Flaming Red for over a year now, and I really like it. It's a lot rockier than her other stuff. And man, does she have a voice or what?

pick up Red Dirt Girl, which may be a bit better, although that's a matter of personal taste. And, yes, Patty Griffin can really belt, but I really appreciate that she keeps it understated most of the time instead of trying to be over-the-top like a "Star Search" or "American Idol" contestant. Many on this board have made similar comments about other vocalists, and it certainly applies to Patty. I got goosebumps and a tingling up my spine on a couple of her tunes that night.
