i had a chance to see Milton Mapes on tour in California recently. they are a fantastic band who put on one of the most dynamic and moody live shows i've seen. anyway, i saw on their website that they are doing a few road shows this week as a duo (which should be great):

Thu Mar 25 - Davey's Uptown - Kansas City, MO
Fri Mar 26 - Off Broadway - St. Louis, MO
Sat Mar 27 - Schuba's - Chicago, IL

if any of you live in or near those cities, and haven't seen Milton Mapes live, i definitely recommend.

mcarlton,

Buy both of them, if you don't like them I will see if I can get Mike Raney to refund your money.

Definitely have to agree. Do yourself a big favor and check out Milton Mapes. If you are interested I have some Milton Mapes to trade (mostly shows from radio).

Milton Mapes' Westernaire was my number 1 record from last year.

They are influenced by Neil Young, Wilco, Jay Farrar, etc, but sound entirely original.

There is some good info. at their web-site (where you can order their records):

You can hear sound clips from Westernaire at:

You can hear some sound clips from their first record The State Line at:

You can download one of their unreleased songs at:

Hope you enjoy!
