LINEUP: Karin, Linford, Jack
REVIEW BY: Keisha Brown
The opening band, The Pinetops? (or something like that...) was =
definately not my preference of music, but they were good for a =
bluegrass band. Anyways...
Karin looked stunning as usual in a red top and hair up. (That's all =
I can remeber fashion-wise, sorry!) She seemed very tired mentioning =
before the set that it was "2:00 where I'm from, so I'm going to ease =
into this evening..."=20
*Go Down Easy was the first song which was so cool because I haven't =
heard this one since they came through Spokane a couple years ago to =
play a few numbers from GDBD to promote the album.
*Bothered
After this one Linford mentioned that he was talking to some people =
before the show that said they were going to "form a committee to try =
and get us to move out here... we could probably be convinced."=20
*Anything at All- Karin mentioned that this was a song about touring and =
how they had been touring over ten years now, to which she sighed and =
said, "I don't know..."
*Jesus in New Orleans- First time I heard this one. Love it of course =
but was bummed that Linford had to leave his accordion at home because =
of "too much baggage on the plane." It sure would have added such a nice =
touch on it! (My dad's and accordion player so I have a soft spot for =
the squeeze box...) He also mentioned that they were "trying to make =
another record or two this summer."=20
*Green Clouded Swallowtail-- Karin said that Linford was going through a =
book of butterflies and landed on this one, the song turned out to =
eventually be about his mom.
*I Radio Heaven- stripped down and wonderful.
*Little Blue River-- This song was probably my tear-jerker of the night. =
Absolutely beautiful... Does anyone else really feel the Lord moving =
through this one?=20
*All I Need is Everything-- Linford talks about how their staying at the =
Travelodge..."hairdryers and scary bears."
*Holy Rain-- Karin explains how Jack met Linford "one whiskey soaked, =
cigar smoked night." Jack really did an awesome job. I love this song.
*The World Can Wait-- Loved this new version! Especially the "Whoa.." =
stuff at the end.
*Ohio-- Karin talks about how she started playing piano because her =
grandma made her and her bad experience at a recital where her boyfriend =
was at. She also said how she had met an old friend from school that she =
hadn't seen in a long time earlier that evening.
*Jack's Valentine-- they opened this one up saying, "This is our comedy =
act number, really it's not, but sometimes it is." and how somebody had =
came up to Linford after a show and had said, "I love that comedy act =
you got going there!" After the song, in response to Jack's guitar at =
the end, Karin said, "We have somebody on the digest list that said =
"Does Jack really mean to do that?"=20
*Miles-- Karin explains how their equipment, (the keyboard and guitar =
amp) were dropped, but when plugged in they all seemed to be working =
fine...
Encore
*Give Me Strength-- I love this!
*Orphan Girl-- Karin spoke too soon because Jack's amp when dead on this =
one and he started dancing, to which Linford said, "I guess we have =
comedy act number 2."
*Like A Radio/Ain't No Sunshine-- Karin's voice was absolutely =
breathtaking... I'm sure Jack would have sounded awesome on this one, =
but she could have sang it all by herself and would have still blew me =
away... amazing...
Anyways, the show was great!!! They seemed more talkative than usual =
which was good. It's been a week from today and I'm already anxiously =
awaiting the next show, just can't get enough of 'em I guess.
