MEET : COWBOY SLIM

1005878_537651476282565_619513935_n

Whilst sponging up the Nashville skyline, via a venue known as “The Nursing Home” I arose to the lawn with a glass of cheap chardonnay and managed to capture this fabulous song-writer, Cowboy Slim.  He strung out an entire grab bag of wit, comprised with the usual hooks, but some how presented it all in a fresh fashion, “exciting and inviting” my mind back to fallen folk pickers such as the late Randell Hylton

Please watch and share this video of COWBOY SLIM’s original, “Just In Case You Fall In Love With Me” -from the grassy hills of Nashville, TennesSEE :

JEFF MANGUM / ASHEVILLE NC

Neutral Milk Hotelien,  Jeff Mangum huffs and puffs his chest  for two soul’d out appearances at The Grey Eagle while snow flakes tease the smokers outside.    2000 lungs stand shoulder to shoulder, hypnotized by muscle memory to use their heavenly flesh-pipes, forming a choir.  Both of Mangum’s evening croons were topped off by the surprise entrance of Scott Spillane and Laura Carter as the magical mystical horn-duo,  pushing out the final notes of a truly stunning performance.  Photos / Correspondence : WJAY

NEW SOUND OF MUSIC TAPES

themusictapes40watt2013

On the patio of Flicker Theatre,  Johnny Tumble had fumbled his White Russian,  resulting in an electric explosion of ivory that rained down on Zeb’s left slipper. As clockwork,  we stumbled inside to catch The New Sound of Numbers‘ set, which was riddled  with fiddles of the groove that left us in a trance and feeling some what tribal.  Quickly out into the 31 degree Athens night and (approximately) 13 giant steps to the left  and you will arrive at the 40 Watt club,  and on this particular night they are hosting  The Music Tapes’ performance of their “Traveling Imaginary”  touring eXXtravagansa.

Julian, Robbie, and friends set up a circus tent inside the club, complete with flying bells,  moons, horns, whistles and the bowing of a banjo.   God help any poor soul that gets hold to a bad trip and much bliss can be expected to those settled comfortably underneath the ‘big top’ as something truly interesting and remarkable is happening before you.   Then, all of a sudden – you count down from 5 and it’s over, the lights are out and the tent is gone.

Catch The Music Tapes and their Traveling Imaginary show soon in and town near you // TOUR DATES

Craig Lieske RIP

Another Athens spirit, unexpectedly retired from the world, for now.  “Local musician Craig Lieske has passed away, reportedly due to an aneurysm.  A member of local improv-rock group Garbage Island, as well as a member of the Drive-By Truckers’ touring crew, [Lieske] contributed his talents to countless other local bands during his many years in Athens.  He was 48.”

— All the best until we cross paths again Craig
