Langhorne’s grand. I saw him for the fifth (!) time on Wednesday, and he keeps getting better with each show. His backing musicians are great, too. Photos should be coming later today, speaking of which (no shameless promotion here!).

Have you tried his EPs, Toad? I actually like The Electric Love Letter and Engine better than his full-lengths. I’d give ‘em a try if you liked this album as much as you did.

Spam away Vic, it’s not spam when it’s welcome. I know Alejandro Escovedo (love bits) and Eilen Jewel (quite like all of the one album I have) but the other three are completely new to me.

None of those bands are my fault though. The Felice Brothers was C&B, Langhorne Slim was DC’s fault and Christopher Denny was Wendy, I think, but I couldn’t swear to it. I’m innercent yeronner.

First Felice Brothers, then Christopher Denny, now Langhorne Slim. We’ll turn you into a country, folk, and Americana loving hillbilly like myself eventually.

More recommendations for you: Alejandro Escovedo, Samoa Wilson & The Jim Kweskin Band, Interference (Irish band), Eilen Jewell, and Pina. Reviews of each on my site if you’re interested, I won’t spam ya.

I first heard Langhorne Slim’s music in the movie Waitress.

That’s okay, folks.

You can all thank me for introducing you to them by getting Toad to post more about The Gourds TWR show podcast.

Seems fair, eh?

Aren’t these two tracks fantastic?

It’s a delightful melting pot of Americana, as Matthew said. You know, I think there’s just a little soupçon of Motown in the mix too, and an echo of Smokey Robinson in the voice. It’s all good.

No, I had just been a fuckwit. Fixed now. Sorry everyone.

Is it just me or do these files not work?

DC – maybe it’s just read some of your more loquacious comments and decided that enough is enough? I’ve emailed Akismet and asked them to sort it out, so hopefully fixed shortly. Don’t worry though, I’ll keep fishing them out of the spam bin.

Hi Rich, well I think I get to see him play in August, so I’ll have to wait until then, but see him I will. Really looking forward to it after this.

Nice one – saw him in London a couple of years ago and he was excellent.

1) trying out a different email address to see if the ’spam’ filter is basing ti on emails rather than IPs, &
