Sorry, no HSB this year -it’s generally not done 2 years in a row. After Grass Valley there isn’t any more California planned for the rest of the year -I think we’ve covered it pretty good this year.
But will anything fill in between Grass Valley and Calgary, TO?

In addition to Met an Old Friend, track #4’s “My Love, My Love” sung by Julia Holter is haunting. Great album. Lu picks the good ones to be a part of. 🙂
I can’t agree, Vivian, now having slogged through the whole project. Only last night did I note than “Met an Old Friend” was on there twice (!!!!!!!!!!!!), and I feared the worst for track twelve. Truth to tell, Josephine Foster, whoever she may be, did a serviceable job, a capella. I wonder if Foster knew she had a bit of “competition” on the album when she agreed. It’s my understanding that Dalton’s two records during her lifetime were 100% covers, and I can reckon why now. I found most of the cuts wispy, fey in the worst way. Patty Griffin brought some integrity to hers, as of course did our Lu. I guess the producer (whose liner notes were of interest, if a bit disjointed) meant well, but if you have ten songs you have ten tracks, not eleven. I would lower the number in terms of quality for a released tribute record. Anyway, this does not diminish my satisfaction at having made the purchase and going straight to track five.
stogerParticipantI bought this Saturday at Grimey’s in Nash, and I can’t seem to get beyond track five. . . . Lu honors another Oklahoman, my goodness.

Was Dave Raven on drums? You know him from Anne McCue.
Sonuvabitch if he wasn’t, Tony, but I blew it by not being aware enough of it enough to talk to him after. I did talk to Shelby, whose new song “Son of a Gun” is mighty fine. She introduced him of course, I took note of the name in a vague way, but because he looked different I shrugged it off and then forgot. Oh well. Between that and Taras Produniak now touring with Richard Thompson (I think), the MOJO MONKEYS LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!

The Pollstar link below specifies the itinerary for an ambitious Kasey Chambers tour of the USA this summer 2015. An imposing schedule of 14 performances and trans-continental travel, considering Kasey just completed medical treatment for her vocal chords.
This tour promotes the USA release of Kasey’s Bittersweet album, released in Australia during summer 2014.
You may need to scroll the Pollstar screen to see all 14 dates–there may be advertising in the middle of the list.

See you at the Winery (middle TN, not Saratoga) August 4, Paul.

Congratulations to Lucinda, who was nominated in three categories for the Americana Awards this year..
In my opinion all three hers to lose..From Rolling Stone..
Lucinda Williams presented the 2014 Americana Honors and Awards’ trophy for Album of the Year to Jason Isbell, deeming his Southeastern LP “stupendous and beautiful” as he walked to the stage to accept. This year, she finds herself on the other end of the category, as her critically-acclaimed Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone is up for the same award. The iconic singer-songwriter will also compete with Isbell for Artist of the Year, which he won last year, as well.

See the “Lucinda Records” thread on this also, Mike.

Lafayette, if that KY show is June 14, would that make a difference? Also, June 30, Portland, ME and July 1, Brownfield, ME.
Good catch, D: I posted the date wrong (now corrected). I still am afraid L may be vacating . . . .
stogerParticipantJune 9 Apple Valley, MN
June 14 Covington, KY [LAFAYETTE ALERT!!!!!!!!!]
stogerParticipantGotcha, Mike. I was pleasantly surprised to see those late July dates pop up, after the treat that will be June. If you nab an extra Stones ticket for a Southern date, I’m likely good for it in the summertime. Hope to see you. . .

I’m liking the way this tour looks to be heading…
WestI’m no geographer, Mike, but it appears to me it’s doing the opposite, as in Head East/Northeast, young man.
stogerParticipantHoly crap, I’m IN Minneapolis for the weekend. My bud Chet from Third Man Records is prob coordinating this, and I might have found out otherwise about it. But thanks for posting!
stogerParticipantWhat, a four-night stand in Montana? I guess those juke joints are tiny; given the venue name, I bet we’ll get “2 Kool” every night.
Englert is a fine venue. I’m seeing Pieta Brown (hopefully with Sir Ramsey) Friday night, so perhaps they’ll be back to light the home fires in early June and show up at the Englert.

There will be a LOT of show announcements coming in the next week to two weeks. We have almost filled out the entire run between 6/6 at Red Rocks and 7/4 at Mariposa near Toronto.
Mariposa? Mariposa? That’s a show announcement in and of itself.
