Tift Merrit on tour


Just a heads-up for anybody who leans toward contemporary alt-country w rock & roll accent or for that matter who enjoys a tight band w strong vocals and harmonies, try to catch Tift and her band on her current tour. If you are not familiar w her music, think think Emy-Lou Harris in her days fronting the Hot Band. I saw them in a small club last Friday. She sings great, plays rhythm acoustic and electric guitar, and electric piano, and has an engaging stage presence. Backed by a drummer, bass/harmony vocals and outstanding lead electric guitar/pedal steel player. Highly recommended. Her web site says she is opening for Emy-Lou in Atlanta later this summer; now THAT would be a show.

ANOTHER COUNTRY was a bit of a disappointment. Love her first two efforts. She's got a fabulous voice, is a very good singer/songwriter and is easy on the eyes. She "stole" SON VOLT's gtr player (Brad Rice) years ago touring - so I've let that go now... "I Am Your Tambourine" is my least fave of her songs tobesure.

That's a great picture of Tift on her latest "See You On The Moon." Can't wait to get my vinyl copy in the mail any day now...
