Comments:
I wasn't at this show; I barely even knew who these guys were when they were here and didn't go. I recently read a rave review about their LITTLE BIT OF DIXIE album that put them on my radar.

I picked up that album and everything I read about that album (and this band) is true - this is the BEST new southern rock I've heard since Ronnie Van Zant was still walking around barefoot on stage in the glory days of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

IF YOU LIKE SKYNYRD (real Skynyrd - 70's Skynyrd with Ronnie), IF YOU DIG THE OUTLAWS (R.I.P. Hughie Thomasson), IF YOU'RE INTO EARLY ALLMAN BROTHERS OR THE FIRST COUPLE MOLLY HATCHET ALBUMS, OR HENRY PAUL'S SOLO STUFF, OR JUST GOOD SOUTHERN ROCK WITH GREAT PLAYING, GREAT SONGWRITING, GREAT VOCALS - YOU NEED TO CHECK THESE GUYS OUT!!

This show has some new songs not any of their albums yet, some from their DIXIE album, some from their first album BAD LUCK AIN'T NO CRIME, and some from their countryish EP NEW HONKY TONK BOOTLEGS. It also has some covers -Willie Nelson's SHOTGUN WILLIE, The Outlaws' FREEBORN MAN, and a short excerpt of the Allman's MIDNIGHT RIDER that I tracked out as CD1/track6 (it was thrown in during part of the song that I think is called LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE). 

Although they are small now, just making a name for themselves, opening for bands like Skynyrd, Outlaws, Kid Rock, ZZ TOp, etc, I hope these guys get the success they deserve.They should be HUGE.I just hope they don't get swallowed up by the industry and turned into some kind of souless homogenized country music / American Idol crapola act - I can see that as the easiest way to fame & fortune for them.I'd rather see them make it as a rock band though...so go out and buy their records, go to their shows, tell all your friends about them.They need to be "discovered"!

Special thanks to the Dude for going & taping this show, & loaning me his master DAT to share with y'all.
