This was always my favorite week of the year when I was younger. SXSW, Spring Break, St. Patrick’s Day, & the start of the NCAA Tournament. Two decades on, I avoid South By like the plague & they haven’t even started the tournament yet. Bah Humbug!
Bonnie Raitt episode of Austin City Limits premieres tonight on PBS. Check your local PBS station for airtimes/reairings throughout the week. Sorry for the short notice on this one.
First single from the forthcoming Wonder Women of Country album. The group consists of Kelly Willis, Melissa Carper & Brennen Leigh, a trio that has been touring together for a year or so. This Kelly fronted tune is a classic country weeper.
Finally watched Todd Haynes’ Velvet Underground documentary Friday night. The running time is 2 hours, but I wish it was at least 4 hours. Still so much story and history surrounding VU that I would love to hear about. Great music doc for sure.
I consider myself a pretty big Old 97s fan, but for the life of me, I don’t understand who gave the go ahead to include a track called ‘Hobo Christmas Song’ on their holiday album.
