A Little Bit Country – 27 Sep 2009

0

Thought it was a about time I put a post on the website. Ove the last month I’ve been featuring a few new names. Jordie Lane was playing at the Norfolk Hotel in Fremantle recently and I just happened to be there! So I bought a copy of his new CD called Sleeping Patterns and I’ve been playing it ever since. He’s young but he sounds and writes like an old soul. He also produced a great album with a Canadian gal, Tracy McNeil under the band name Fireside Bellows. So listeners have been hearing this album over the last month or so. Also Buddy and Julie Miller’s new album, “Written in Chalk” featuring guest appearances from Emmylou Harris, Robert Plant and Patty Griffin. I still haven’t tired of Teddy Thompson’s ”Upfront and Down Low” or Eilen Jewell’s “Sea of Tears”. Today I played Justin Townes Earle just to get in the mood for his Australian tour starting next week. I’ll be in Melbourne for next Friday’s gig at the Thornbury Theatre. I saw him last year at the Grace Emily in Adelaide and have been talking about him ever since. A show not to be missed!! It’s a pity these gigs are a bit more costly these days when you live in Alice Springs. I ordered a copy of JTE’s new album “Midnight at the movies and it still “hasn’t arrived. So that will be the feature of next week’s show. Hopefully a signed copy!
