Shelby Lynn & Allison Moorer / Not Dark Yet

Just thought I would mention what a great album by these two sisters that, Not Dark Yet, has turned out to be, this will be one of those albums that might not ever leave my rotation of play.

jafant, you’re fond of understatement ;-) ! Steve’s quite an interesting character, very opinionated and outspoken, rubbing some people (including Del McCoury, who cancelled the remaining shows in a tour he and his band were doing with Steve when Steve wouldn’t refrain from using the f-word on stage) the wrong way. I myself love the guy. His current road band is one of the best around, on a par with those of Lucinda Williams (she always has a real good one) and Marty Stuart (The Fabulous Superlatives ROCK!).

I saw that tour with Del McCoury, at the TLA on South Street in Philadelphia, and was completely impressed.  I have, however, grown to severely dislike Steve Earle the person, and no longer play his music or go to his shows; he is, to me (and I need forgiveness I suppose for being judgmental of others) a self-centered, selfish, lost nasty human being.

As I said, Steve rubs some the wrong way ;-). I like the fiction book he wrote, I’ll Never Get Out Of This World Alive. That is of course a line from the great Hank Williams song of the same title.

The live show Steve did with Del and his band was one of the handful of greatest I ever saw and heard. Steve, Del, and the others all standing around a single stereo mic. Whoever was playing or singing the prominent part stepped closer to the mic, stepping back into line when his part was done. I saw the show at The House Of Blues on Sunset in Hollywood, a great venue.

I wasn't too impressed upon my initial audition. However, I just bought it on a great discount.
