  4. It had been 3 years since The Gourds last payed us a visit. This was the end of a five night stint before a break and back down to the Hill Country. They didn't show any tired legs last night as they proceeded to get the Golden Light hoppin'. They payed quite a bit of new material off of Nobel Creatures. Cranky Mulatto and Spivey were exceptionally good. I read the multi-instrumentalist Max Johnston is Michelle Shocked's brother and he was also in Uncle Tupelo and Wilco.
