Bad Deacon...No Sacrament...

So, I've been a bad blogger. I truly apologize for the lack of updates. It is really my goal to keep this blog active, unfortunately school has bested me.

The The Kentucky Waterfalls and Boo Bradley show was pretty great.

The Ghost Town Council crew all had a grand excursion out and these guys did not let us down.

Boo Bradley played a great blues inspired set. I'm not much of a Blues-guy (ask Brian), but these guys have it. Delta style blues guitar with a solid rhythm section playing some classic blues tunes. One of the funner tunes of the night was a great Latin groove instrumental. It was a helluva great way to get the night going.

This all gave way to the Kentucky Waterfalls. In terms of musicality and style leanings, this is what country music is all about. Evan and Katie are about pure country. They may be the purest form of country that you can find in Madison. Evan's finger style picking hearkens back to Clarence White, and the harmonies were spot-on all night. The tune "Hello Stranger" provided as a great opener and set the tone that surprisingly (yet, amazingly fittingly) finished with "Every Rose has It's Thorn," and brought the house down. The first set also featured great originals, my favorite of which was "Your Eyes Can't Lie." I'm not kidding when I say this song could easily be inserted into any George and Tammy set.

The Second set was pretty solid, but was a tough act to follow after the first. Their renditions of "In Spite of Ourselves" by John Prine and a soulful rendition of the Splitlip Rayfield tune "Crazy" as a great answer.

Overall it was a great night. The Kentucky Waterfalls will be "Johnny and June'ing it" at the High Noon Saloon on January 2nd. I highly recommend the show!
