Whats on your turntable tonight?

Oh man, reubent, Marty is SO great, and His Fabulous Superlatives one of the very best bands in the world. I first saw and heard guitarist Kenny Vaughan (who has a solo album) live with Lucinda Williams, and he's a fantastic player. Drummer Harry Stinson is one of the best working right now, and a real good harmony singer as well.

@bdp24 - Yep, great band and front man. They are playing in Cincinnati on March 30 at the beautiful 400 seat Memorial Hall. Unfortunately that's my family Colorado ski trip week and I'm going to miss the show :~(

@bdp24 - Speaking of Lucinda, and drummers, have you seen Lucinda with her current backing band - Buick 6? The drummer Butch Norton is AWESOME! I've seen them 3-4 times in the last couple of years and Norton, and Buick 6, really bring it. Love their solo set and their work backing Lucinda.

No reubent, I'll look Butch (and Buick 6) up. I saw her last night (Monday) on Seth Meyer's show, singing with Steve Earle. I don't know if that was her band or his, but they were real good, including the drummer, whom I loved. Lucinda didn't look or sound so hot, I'm afraid. It's a tricky thing, finding the right key for a male/female duet. It's gotta be low enough for the male's range, but high enough for her's. Last night the song's key was a little too low for her voice, I believe. And my gaud she looked bad! Like a hardcore alcoholic, sitting down at the end of the bar, drinking alone. She's put on a buncha weight, her face was puffy, and she had on waaaay yonder too much eye makeup. I still love her, though!
