Moseyed into town with a bunch of fruity 1970's vinyl in the saddlebags that didn't go to badly ! The Ozark Mountain Daredevils for goodness sakes and Country Joe and The Fish from some 1971 acid trip looking Musical Western name of Zacharia. Brand new heavier stuff from Bohannons and my new favorite western groove psych mates, Palo Santo and Dirtwire. Continued support of the awesome Mary-Elaine Jenkins, some more brand new country by Kimmi Bitter, The Hacks and that cool Mercury Rev Lucinda Williams Bobby Gentry thing that Danielle shared with Renee on Facebook, Marlon Williams of course and that wicked Steve Gunn cover of the Misfits Astro Zombie that Jonny longhair played at Drive Island a while back. 

Might have gone a bit rogue tonight. There's a Bob Marley song with some nice slidey guitar in it, so I played that. And Calexico played Echo & The Bunnymen's Killing Moon at their show, so I played that. And I played the very psych-border vibe of Dirtwire, and a cool song called Cowboy by Palo Santo, and an Australian band called The Mountains, played them. And Mary-Elaine Jenkins and Tori Forsythe and a new one from Julia Jacklin and that Sun Kil Moon song, Carissa, about his cousin. And a whole heap more.

This was fun. The great cliches of rural american music: factory closures, no good cheatin', "i done a crime and will be hanged", "troubles I got - you have no idea mate", "this town is fucked, i'm leaving" and the classic "all my problems are solved by drinking to excess". As well as few songs about significant weather events and a couple of warnings that war is bad and love is a bit tricky.
