I used to see him at a club in Dallas called the Rubaiyat but have not heard anything from or about him in years. He'd be the kind of person you are writing about now if you were writing back then (huh?)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05630602462099195770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-29507199081539419792007-07-31T00:37:00.000-04:002007-07-31T00:37:00.000-04:00I am downloading this from Emusic right now based ...I am downloading this from Emusic right now based purely on this post! I have a feeling I may have a new favorite.<BR/>I really appreciate your reviews Andy, I have discovered a few new artists thanks to your great reviews.<BR/>Most importantly, Loudon Wainright III's "Strange Weirdos."

And until the latest Steve Earle album (due out in a couple months, and where he starts to reclaim the old form), I would have told you that folks like Scott Miller (V-Roys) and Chris Knight were doing Steve Earle better than Steve Earle.Andy Whitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010130934552315074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-22408887778551234482007-07-30T17:37:00.000-04:002007-07-30T17:37:00.000-04:00I've loved all of his stuff.

At least the first couple of times I heard "If I Heard You" I thought it was some new Steve Earle.Adventures with Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15370712440197181886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-38762711722842434412007-07-30T17:20:00.000-04:002007-07-30T17:20:00.000-04:00One of the bands I am in has been covering Mr. Kni...One of the bands I am in has been covering Mr. Knight for years. <BR/><BR/>From "It Ain't Easy Being Me":<BR/><BR/>"...There oughta be a side show act<BR/>For freaks like me<BR/>I could be the star of the show with my name on the marquee<BR/>In a room with a big red button that says ‘danger do not touch’<BR/>Twice a day I'd mash it down and you can watch me self-destruct..."<BR/><BR/><BR/>I gave a cd to Tim Peacock a couple years ago and they brought him in to Stuarts in Nelsonville.<BR/><BR/>Great writer.
