Me 'n Tompall

I keep coming back to ol' Tompall Glaser, the Nebraska kid with the sweet harmonizing voice who hit the charts with his brothers before turning into a Nashville mogul, thanks to a little sing-song ditty ("Gentle on My Mind") that they happened to publish and stars just couldn't stop singing. Waylon's best pal during the Outlaw heyday until they had a fight and stopped talking. Now...where'd he go? Get back out here and sing us another round.

In the meantime, check out "Gideon Bible," from his 1973 solo album Charlie.

A Rio Bravo Moment

Caught this on Spread the Good Word:

Tony Joe White

Saw him in Austin last year, dark and swampy voice, low key and brooding bluesy-soul sound.


"Rainy Night in Georgia" kills me every time. Light out, sink back, let it pour.

Almost Anniversary

Now get this

Nearly a year has gone by and I still haven't figured out how to post a damn song via Comcast. Lazy bum.
