One from a killer hill country blues band in an intimate room...
Struck up a friendship with Steve Malcolm (Lightnin' Malcolm) - an incredibly talented and great dude - and his booking agent over the years and always got permission to record when they passed thru the area. His partner in the band, Cedric Burnside, is RL Burnsides's grandson. I'd seen Cedric play with RL back in the 90's.
I love these guys, not just for their stellar playing, but for their commitment to keeping the hill country blues alive as an art form. It's unique, it's special and it's disappearing. A handful of artists like these guys are sustaining life support.
This show was at The Evening Muse, an intimate room that maxed out at 100 if you really packed it. The owner (Joe) really cares about sound in his venue. I remember the first time I taped there - sat up my mics about halfway back and asked Joe if I could get a board patch. "If you really want one, I can do it. But where you're set up with the equipment you have, you're good." He was right.
Taped this flying a pair of mics about 25' from the stage. Requested this song during the set (I had heard them play it live before, but it was still unreleased) and got the immediate response from Ced and Steve.
Listen to this and you'll get what Joe was sayin'.
Turn this shit up!
