Always good when a 17+ year old Henneman/UT tune gets mentioned these days. Braves beat writer David O’Brien (Atlanta Journal-Constitution ) in Indianapolis for baseball's Winter Meetings posts the lyrics to Indianapolis in his blog today.

That's awesome. My 5 year old requests a little of everything although Hannah Montana is starting to outnumber Steve Earle. My 2 year old asks for "Da Morn" (It Sure Can Get Cold in Des Moines, Mark Olsen cover of Tom T Hall), "Home Town" (17, CCRagweed), Flowered Dresses (Slaid Cleaves), Windfall, ...

Amoeba records in Berkeley had many copies ($16.99). Bought it and took it home, sat down, and played it straight through. My wife asked me if anything's wrong. No, everything's just right, baby. That one cracked me up. I know where you are coming from! I forgot about picking it up with the rush to...

Thanks for the comments guys... I bought the Epiphone Acoustic Player Pack off the Musician's Friend website. From here I guess my budget would depend on how well I learn. I don't see me dropping more than a few hundered at a time at this point. Maybe a couple hundred on an electric and 3 or so on a...

Any of the local gear heads have any suggestions on guitars and accessories for a beginner? I picked up a cheap Epiphone acoustic a few weeks back and I'm pretty happy with it. If I can play well enough I'll eventually start looking for and electric and a better acoustic too. I'm pretty ignorant whe...

When did Steve Earle take over Wilco?

Did they not do "A Song for You" in Fayetteville? Ouch.

Hank, the song he did with Shannon was "A Song For You" by Gram Parsons. Anytime a hear a Gram cover I'm thrilled but this one was spectacular. The harmony between Shannon and Jay was beautiful. Chickamauga was outstanding. Seeing Jay actaully get after the guitar brings joy to my heart. It makes me...

The Outland Ballroom is upstairs from the Outland which is just south of the square on South Ave. Back in the early days it was called Thumbs Up and UT played there on occasion. The Outland is also right next door to Lou Whitney's Studio. The Outland Ballroom is under new management (now the same gu...

Politics and political issues have been part of Steve Earle's musical career from day one, and he's always been very vocal outside his music too. True, but like I said before, his latest efforts seem strained. Steve's best albums (IMO anyway) hit on all topics and touch on several musical styles an...

Train a comin' is his best then Jerusalem The Mountain I feel Alright El Corazón All which I rate higher than Guitar Town (altho this is a matter of taste of course) The only album I haven't enjoyed so far was The Revolution Starts Now.. which is still a not bad, but it hasn't stuck like the others...

You can't be serious.

While I haven't had problems with the CD side, it is interesting to note that it does NOT have the Philips CD logo and it also states: The audio side of this disc does no conform to CD specifications and therefore will not play on some CD and DVD players These record companies should realize they CA...

Trying it on the computer... CD works fine... DVD is another story

Guess we will see how it does on a regular DVD player tonight...
