I still love Stevie's debut album.
It mad a big impression on this teenager back in '78.

Melody Gardot has a remarkable story if you're interested.
Be sure and check out the beard on the hipster on bass, or as we called them back in the day, hep cats.

Bram Tchaikovsky released one great, wonderful now forgotten power-pop album in '79, Strange Man, Changed Man and then faded into obscurity.
Before that Bram was with Brit rockers The Motors, which was led by ex-members of pub rockers Ducks Deluxe, whose members went on to play important roles in The Tyla Gang, Dire Straits, Rockpile (w/Nick Lowe) and Graham Parker's backing band The Rumour. Members of The Rumour included Bob Andrews who played in Brinsley Schwarz along with Nick Lowe. Which all reinforces my theory that Nick Lowe is the godfather of all great music coming from Britain in the last 40 years.

Back in the mid-early '80's I got into the whole cow-punk sound. Bands like Rank and File, the Beat Farmers, Green on Red, Jason and the Scorchers. The Long Ryders are still my favorite.

Nick Lowe's first band courtesy of the Old Grey Whistle Test.
Sorry it ends a little abruptly but there's not a lot of live Brinsley available.

If you have any interest in bluegrass music and like visiting San Francisco I recommend seeing the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. Robyn and John Paul playing in the sun at Golden Gate Park, 2012.

So, I guess y'all aren't Bowie fans. Let's have some Townes to cheer us up.
