Only recently discovered by me through Justified, a pretty good show and they presented him really really well. Producer had to be a fan |

Every time I see this, I wonder why he is singing that old Girl Scout round.

Word is that Randy California's parents ran The Ashgrove in the 60's thus giving him a chance to play with Hendrix. Cool bit of obscure trivia.

Yeah!! He actually played "Harlan County Line", from his last album, "Eleven Eleven". Fabulous album, BTW. |

I would like to hear more decent "bar-bands" here on RP.  |

Didn't he used to be in a band with his brother? I first heard them in the 80s.

Damn it if the characters didn't leave the bar before he could even finish his tune.

I've never smoked in my life and that's what I thought he was singing too. As a non-smoker, it wasn't making much sense. |

If Dave is playing anywhere near you, you should try to get to his shows. Really good shows.

Used to be such a good radio station, now it is like a blues history lesson ever freaking hour.
Is there something like RP that doesn't play all this blues crap?
Christ this is horrible!
No. The Blues will never end. They are an integral part of a life in self-reflection, a recapitulation of pain and sorrow, transmogrified into joy and a looking-forward attitude. |
