Josh Ritter – Where The Night Goes

Video 2 Comments

My brother gave me this CD. He saw Ritter perform in a record store. Admission was the purchase of a new CD. My brother gave me the extra after he and his wife both bought one. It's really grown on me. I've got a couple of his older albums too. He was just touring with Jason Isbell. I've seen Isbell twice but I've never seen Ritter.

Drive-By Truckers – What It Means

Video

Since we have recently discussed the Drive-By Truckers, I'd figure I'd go with this one first. It is one of my favorites from the latest album. And I think their latest album is their best since Jason Isbell was in the band.

I like my protest music to tell stories and ask questions.

Wilco – Late Greats

Video 12 Comments

Here is my Wilco story: I was working in the NW suburbs of Chicago in 1997.  Being There was my favorite album at the time.  I listened to a little indie radio station called WCBR - The Bear.  They announced that Wilco would be playing Harper College in Palatine, Illinois.  I think this is the only place that advertised the show.  My wife and I got tickets.  We get to the college and the venue is basically a big lecture hall.  I was sitting in the 4th row right next to Tweedy's wife who was holding their then 2-year old son wearing big ear protection.  Tweedy walks out and the first thing he does is says, "We're playing a f'n classroom?!"

The show was great.  It felt like we were sitting in the band's living room.  They took requests from the crowd and, at one point in the show, Tweedy came and grabbed his fussy son and sat him on his lap.

This is the song that I thought would make them stars.
