Hey, Everybody!
GREAT NEWS—At the end of the day Friday I happened to glance out my front window and, to my pleasant surprise, discovered a package containing the vinyl test copies of Lone Star: Songs and Stories Straight from the Heart of Texas. It was quite an unforgettable experience to hear my music on vinyl for the first time Friday night! In about a month I should have the real thing with the gorgeous cover by photographer, Amy Morris, and designer, Natali Leduc. Some of you have been asking about vinyl, so now you know—only a few more weeks and we’ll be set to go.
In the meantime, I want to remind all Houstonians that I’ll be playing this evening (April 24) from 8-9 p.m. at one of my favorite spots, Dean’s Downtown, with Greg Henkel on his incredible viofiddle. Dean’s is a historic, high-ceilinged, storefront venue facing Main Street where both Greg and I have enjoyed years of performing and memory making, including Houston Press music award showcases and the successful Sunday Night Houston Songwriter Series hosted by Andrew Karnavas. Dean’s has been through a variety of changes since it opened about twenty years ago and the new owners have invested in a stunning renovation, including an excellent new sound system, clearly testifying to their support of live music. Dean’s, in fact, was the perfect place to entertain the New York music critic, Greg Victor, who published this extraordinary review of Lone Star a few weeks ago:
