CortezTheKiller Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I hope to - as well as Omnibus and Midnight in Mississippi. I really wish there was a fucking record store here - where one could walk in and get stuff the day it comes out. Oh well.No Amazon or anything like that for you I assume.

Analogman Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I can - but, I like going to the store and getting cds. Maybe Best Buy will have these cds - ha ha ha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Saut Crapaud Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 i saw them in okc last sunday night at the blue door. great room, with great sound and like 15 people, about 8 of which i brought with me. cary didn't seem to care as the night became a wonderful experience of seeing great performers in what amounted to a living room show. they played a half dozen songs off the new record and several off of each of their previous releases. since we all were literally within 15 feet of each other it was more of a "what do you all want to hear" show with cary giving guitar tips to the crowd. they seemed to really enjoy themselves despite an empty house in okc on a sunday night, and it turned out to be one of the more memorable musical events i've been to. truly a class act.

Analogman Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I hope they come here where I live - do you have a setlist? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CortezTheKiller Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I'm guessing they don't get much love up here in the Northeast. Sucks to be me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 They did come to Pittsburgh a while back - I should have tried to get there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 You might actually find some of them at Best Buy or your average chain store. My wife and I went to the mall with some friends this weekend, and the guys went to the music/video store while the ladies did their thing. I was surprised to find the remaster of Dog Days there.

Dr. Steve Brule Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I am excited for the Omnibus and Midnight in Mississippi vinyl! Now if only they'd do Dog Days. The remaster sounds great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blureu Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Caught the band last night in Asheville NC. Great show. Mixture of old/new and some choice covers. Go see them if they come near you. New album just as old as the good ones.

SarahC Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 the living room show last night was amazing. i put a review in after the show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
myboyblue Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I'm really liking their new album. Reminds me a bit of Homegrown for some reason. Looking forward to seeing them in a few weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 skinny dipping is my new anthem. even though i have never done it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
willywoody Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 caught them again saturday night in charleston. very good crowd of a hundred or so. a little less than last time maybe due to football season. i agree that "skinny dipping" is a good song. there's a song about a butterfly i like. a lot too. played lots of old songs but no "generic america" or "big black river." did a cover of the faces "Oo la la."" one other 70's cover also. kind of slow but i was taken right back to my preteen days with a transistor radio. still don't have the cd yet as i'm waiting for the vinyl. laurie said it should be out mid november. she was really frustrated at the universal pressing plant. i told her our local record store owner is frustrated as well as he gets all kinds of returns from their products. great show.

I assumed that most of the songs were new. Are any of the songs new? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
