Moseyed into town with a bunch of fruity 1970's vinyl in the saddlebags that didn't go to badly ! The Ozark Mountain Daredevils for goodness sakes and Country Joe and The Fish from some 1971 acid trip looking Musical Western name of Zacharia. Brand new heavier stuff from Bohannons and my new favorite western groove psych mates, Palo Santo and Dirtwire. Continued support of the awesome Mary-Elaine Jenkins, some more brand new country by Kimmi Bitter, The Hacks and that cool Mercury Rev Lucinda Williams Bobby Gentry thing that Danielle shared with Renee on Facebook, Marlon Williams of course and that wicked Steve Gunn cover of the Misfits Astro Zombie that Jonny longhair played at Drive Island a while back.

Kirsten pays tribute to Nanci Griffith, a singer-songwriter with a memorable voice and songs, who died two days ago at the age of 68. She paved the way for modern women in folk. Nanci Griffith described her own style as "folkabilly". Unforgettable.
