I know my limitations. I can’t write poetry. I don’t play jazz. I can’t be told
what to do, or to change, or what to learn. Polite society causes me to be
particularly blunt. I am afraid of losing people so I forget about them
completely. Nathan Bell

Doug Gesler (Lost Highway, WMBR, Cambridge, MA) says: "The jukebox is
about to get an update, and from the opening explosion of guitar and drums on
"Roll Me A Song," you know this Lost Highway's gonna be a little different.
Plenty to dance to, sing along to and cry in your beer with.Jump in, hang on -
it's one sweet ride!"

Eric Taylor is a sage musician, a lyrical genius and a master of the guitar. If
you're familiar with the intricate Texas singer/ songwriter jigsaw puzzle, you
probably already know a lot about Taylor.

Maybe it’s that gritty voice, the one that calls to mind creaking boards in a
backwoods cabin or the wail of a far-off train through the trees at night. In
concert, it’s probably the way he performs, hunched over and hollering,
growling, hissing, beating that old guitar like a man possessed and making the
uninitiated wonder nervously if he’s had all his shots.

Phil Lee writes intelligent songs full of wit, humor and grace that blend sizzling
Dylan-esque rock and roll, country and western, mid-sixties British Invasion
and medicine show sounds that end up being utterly unique and sung in a voice
that can shoot straight through to your heart.

Williams Sr. & Vintage Lonnie Mack will dig these guys. Praise the Lord and
pass the plate!"

WINE DRUNK
Wine drunk in fat city,
Muscles swollen and torn,
the sun gets meaner every morning.
I step back and look out and say yes
In the dawn light cool and wet
I will conquer this day no matter what.
Wine drunk and the sun going down
my woman wanders up
from her garden with dirty hands.
I kiss her,
like a shovel
Breaking earth.

Songwriters Alex Culbreth and Karen Jonas are accompanied by the talented Dan
Dutton on upright bass. The trio released their first full-length album "When the
Dust Settles" in November of 2011. The usual tunes of heartache and heartbreak
are accompanied by some more niche pieces complete with outlaws, sheriffs,
hookers, and, of course, a lot of whiskey.

I was standing on a street corner one day, gazing up at Billy Swan's apartment
house when I hear a voice over my right shoulder saying, "Do you think I ought
to call myself Rich Friedman, Kinky Friedman or Big Dick Friedman?" It was,
of course, Kinky. Now of course he uses all three on his answering machine at
the ranch. We became friends, and he ultimately coerced me into playing guitar
on his first album, Sold American. Later, when I joined the Jewboys, I started
using the name. When we were working on Kinky's second album, I heard Peter
Rowan's tune, Panama Red. Ah, well, I thought, it'll pass. More untrue words
have never been spoken; the idea of Panama Red as an alias has so grabbed the
imagination of the masses that there must be a million of us out there...but I was
the first, I think, anyway, predating the song. No matter.
