ROAD REPORT - HILL COUNTRY REVUE

Yee-haw! Hill Country Revue delivered the goods like they were going out of style last night at the Santa Fe Brewing Company.

Doc Samba and their newest member, David Mason, are the tightest rhythm section I've seen in, literally, YEARS!!!

This Mississippi outfit's brand of boogie-woogie blues-rock was just what we needed to shake off the newly arrived winter chill in the City Different. They're top of my wish list for an outdoor summer show in 2011.

Bandleader Cody Dickinson said in a radio interview earlier in the day (kbac.com) he met his newest bandmates in church. Now, maybe he was joking, or maybe they've just got hipper churches in the south. Whatever congregation he attends, it's got a whole lotta soul.

Pictured here are (front) Doc Samba, bass (back, l to r) David Mason, drums; some DJ guy; Dan Coburn, vocals; Kirk Smithheart, guitar; and Cody Dickinson, guitar, keys, percussion.

# # #

I should mention that opening act, Anthony Leon & the Chain ("providing all your honty-tonk needs" was a direct quote from the stage) is fast becoming my favorite Santa Fe band. They played a fantastic set and supposedly have an album coming out soon. See them if you can (^_^) TOAST

# # #

HILL COUNTRY REVUE in studio

Tune in 98-1 Radio Free Santa Fe this afternoon, around 2-2:30pm (mountain standard time) and hear Cody Dickinson's new band, Hill Country Revue, talk about stuff and play stuff! Also streaming online at kbac.com

And don't forget to catch them live at the Santa Fe Brewing Company tonight, y'all (^_^)

PHISH - "CORAL SKY" DVD now available

Hey, Phish Phans!

On October 19th, JEMP Records released Coral Sky, a 2-DVD set showcasing Phish’s November 2, 1996 performance at Coral Sky Amphitheater in West Palm Beach, FL. The complete, uncut concert was created from archival videotapes of the multi-camera lawn screen feed and the audio was mixed from multi-track masters in stereo PCM and 5.1 surround.

Santana’s Karl Perazzo was featured on percussion throughout the show. Perazzo, who had become acquainted with the band members during their 1992 and 1996 summer tours with Santana, added polyrhythms that explored new space within Phish's music in this deeply experimental show. Allman Brothers Band drummer Butch Trucks sat in for the encore, “Funky Bitch.”

The Toastmaster General (Chris) has declared the first 20 minutes of the Talking Heads cover "Crosseyed and Painless" captured here to be the ultimate version. Unfortunately, it slowly falls apart through the following 10 minutes, before segueing into "Run Like an Antelope." The "Waste" is particularly pretty. For those who fondly remember Phish live circa 1996, this DVD is a great time capsule of memories. Trey seems to have made peace with facial hair grooming since then (^_^)
