And Iris DeMent. She’s coming back to town in a coupla months, get to see & hear her live again.
Iris was John Prine’s favorite collaborator.
I saw him more than a few times at Merlefest, Magnolia fest, Suwanee, and others often with Donna The Buffalo or others. @wharfy I would add Darrell Scott and Tim O'Brien to the list also. Damn I loved Guy Clark. |
@markmoskow: I LOVE Larry Campbell! I saw him live when he was serving as Dylan’s guitarist, harmony singer, and band leader. After that he went to work for Levon Helm, both in recordings and the live shows in Levon’s Woodstock barn. He figures prominently in the Levon Helm documentary Ain’t In It For My Health (the title a quote from Levon in response to Robbie Robertson’s statement that the Rock ’n’ Roll life is not a healthy one. What a wuss. 😊 ) Larry and his wife/partner Teresa Williams have made three excellent albums, the latest (entitled All This Time) released just a month ago. Great songs, singing, and musicianship.

Jim’s film shows the heart and soul of this whole era. Jim, Buddy, Larry, all those guys had the rare talent to both do the music they wanted and not let the music business run them in circles (too much, although Larry’s Dylan days, who knows). @bdp24 The couple years making that series on Larry and Teresa was a gift to understand what the transitions it takes to be a working a musician. |
