This was fun. The great cliches of rural american music: factory closures, no good cheatin', "i done a crime and will be hanged", "troubles I got - you have no idea mate", "this town is fucked, i'm leaving" and the classic "all my problems are solved by drinking to excess". As well as few songs about significant weather events and a couple of warnings that war is bad and love is a bit tricky.
Epic CSNY version of Southern Man from the awesome live album 4 Way Street to start the show off and then a musical stumble through Son Volt, Holly Williams,newly discovered Zoe Wilcox, some Johnny Cash spoken word and a nice latin vibe through Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros and Calexico. The badly spelled, found in a bargain bin with a truck on the cover Defibulators turn out all right. Reb Fountain, Kendal Elise bring us Brighton and Papukura respectively, The Eastern unleash the rugby league club and the show finishes with a brand new song from Dirtwire.
