Willie Watson & My Bubba - Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap)

                                                          Live at The Factory - Marrackville

 William Currie Watson (born September 23, 1979) is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, banjo player, actor and founding member of Old Crow Medicine Show

 My Bubba is the duo of Sweden's My and Iceland's Bubba, women whose quirky, delicate, sweetly sung folk songs are a delight. The centerpiece of their tunes are the harmonies, but the backing instrumentation is equally intimate, from handclaps to an old table harp and acoustic guita

Jim Lauderdale & The Game Changers-The Floyd Country Store (July 6th, 2024)

       James Russell Lauderdale (born April 11, 1957) is an American country, bluegrass, and Americana singer-songwriter.Since 1986, he has released 31 studio albums, including collaborations with artists such as Dr. Ralph Stanley, Buddy Miller, and Donna the Buffalo. A "songwriter's songwriter," his songs have been recorded by dozens of artists, notably George Strait, Gary Allan, Elvis Costello, Blake Shelton, the Dixie Chicks, Vince Gill, and Patty Loveless.                                                         

                                                         'Don’t You Treat ‘Em That Way'

The Game Changers! Lillie Mae, Craig Smith, , Dave Racine, Jay Weaver and Frank Carter Rische.

                                                                       'Halfway Down'

For a man about to put out his 37th album, Jim Lauderdale still has the glimmer in his eye of the young man who first made his way to Nashville back in 1979. 

Actively writing and recording music for the past four-plus decades, Mr. Americana—as Lauderdale has grown to be known around town—has fine-tuned his brand of country music, taking influences from his upbringing in the Carolinas, the bluegrass and string music of surrounding Appalachia, the folk and Grateful Dead catalog of the 60s and beyond, and the twanging, honky tonk of the town he’s long called home and distilling them into a sound distinctively his own. 

"He's a man of great style, an exceptional songwriter and tremendous singer." Elvis Costello

"He's my favorite part of Americana music." Keith Secor, Old Crow Medicine Show

 

Young feat.Ben Keith & Frank Sampedro -Too Far Gone

The album "Freedom" is a nice comeback of my alltime favorite Neil Young The songs on Freedom were written over the span of more than a decade. "Too Far Gone" dates to the Zuma era, and would be performed regularly in concert in 1976

Freedom is the 19th studio album by Canadian-American musician Neil Young, released on October 2, 1989. Freedom relaunched Young's career after a largely unsuccessful decade. After many arguments and a lawsuit, Young left Geffen Records in 1988 and returned to his original label, Reprise, with This Note's for You. Freedom brought about a new, critical and commercially successful album

Bob Dylan and Bobby Vee

                                      

On July 10, 2013 - The Americanarama Tour hit St. Paul Minnesota's Midway Stadium with Richard Thompson, My Morning Jacket, Wilco and Bob Dylan.  Towards the end of Dylan's set, the Bard of Hibbing waxed nostalgic about an early chapter in his career when he played piano with Bobby Vee's band The Shadows in 1959.  Indeed it was his first paying gig.  Vee who recently retired from performing after an Alzheimers diagnosis was in the audience and was invited up next to the soundboard for this tribute and the two men caught up with each other after the show.  A mutual admiration society to be sure and just magic to witness.         

As Bobby's son-in-law I had access to some old Shadows images and decided to mash them up with two of the handheld videos floating around YouTube. Thanks to FallenManWildMercury Films and Harry Cane - I hope you don't mind my cutting your two videos into one.  You caught a rare and heartfelt moment that Minnesota music writers have called one of the standout moments of 2013.  Thank you - and obviously no copyright infringement intended.
