I heard him play it with the full band in the fall but was bummed it wasn't on the list for the acoustic Gallery show. Might be trying to catch him again Wednesday and maybe will have better luck this time. He did play Decent Man which was just the most recent example for me where I've overlooked the studio version of one of his song until hearing the acoustic live version. Just another great fucking song off THATH.

He started at 8:15, so hope you made it in time! Overall, good time. He played a good mix across his albums, though I didn't need 3 from Georgia Blue. My wife was disappointed at no Hope the High Road. The band sounded great. I went to multiple Luck Reunions in the past, so it was great to be back there. Just a super cool place to see some music. I hope they continue to do shows out there.
March 19, 20223 yr He’s probably texting his buddies saying “I just walked past 4th&5 on South Congress”.
March 28, 20223 yr Man, if Willie's on the bill, then he needs top billing. And I love Kacey Musgraves.
March 28, 20223 yr That's quite a line up. But holy hell, do I have absolutely 0 interest in festivals anymore. Edited March 28, 20223 yr by Al_4_ISU
March 28, 20223 yr the "very special guests" intrigued me so I looked them up. The music from Randy Savvy seems like it sucks, but props for the name
March 29, 20223 yr July 3rd - Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - Houston, TX - 713 Music Hall The night after Fleet Foxes at the same venue. Wish both these shows were another weekend - I'm always doing family stuff 4th of July weekend.Been trying to see Jason Isbell for like five years now and it hasn’t worked out on a couple of occasions. Had to literally give tickets away on surly. Think this is one we’ll make though.

April 4, 20223 yr So you can look like a hipster doofus accountant and still land Amanda Shires.Ah yes. I always figure the singing/songwriting part helps too. See Lyle Lovett.

April 12, 20223 yr Author New music from Arlo McKinley. Can't wait for the new album. I thought his last release was great.

April 23, 20223 yr Am I the only one that hasn’t cared for drum machine era John Moreland?I’ve been a fan of his since the Black Gold Band days and just don’t dig the current direction.

April 26, 20223 yr Not sure if this is the thread but just dropped by to mention the new Margo Price album is really good.

April 28, 20223 yr 2 hours ago, 4th&Five said: Anyone here get to go? I was there. Cool event for a great cause. During one song I turned to my buddy to mention the hook sounded like one from a John Prine song. After the song, Isbell told a cool story about talking with Prine about accidentally borrowing from one of his songs and Prine busting his balls saying Isbell did it more than once.
May 19, 20223 yr Caught McMurtry Gallery show again last night. Cover bumped up to $15 now but I wouldn’t blink paying 3-4x that every week for the quality of the show. I try to not be uppity and understand that people are out to have a good time. And I don’t at all expect everyone who shows up to be a diehard or even familiar with McMurtry. That said- wherever you fall on that spectrum, I can’t understand how you can walk into his acoustic set at The Gallery and be an oblivious and obnoxious asshole. Some piece of shit tech/finance man-child literally talked over half of a song on his phone at the bar. On multiple other occasions James softened his strumming to a barely audible level as to clue captain fuckface in that nobody wants to hear him and his buddies (who eventually read the room and I think were embarrassed) talking during the music. Even drew a “really?” mid-song which I’d never seen from James. Played Hurricane Party and the rest of the room let out a relating / appreciative cheer to the “sit your drunkass down” verse. Show ended with JM unplugging for Blackberry Winter and walking right up to the smug fucker’s table to play right in his face. Rather than even an ounce of self-awareness setting in, prick just doubles down and tries to start an obnoxious clap for the third time of the night, which of course nobody joined. Not sure if I’ve ever been so surly at a show. Might all be worth it if we see a eviscerating tune penned in that asshole's (lack of) honor. Rant over. Go support and enjoy McMurtry if you haven’t in a while. Guy is one of a kind and I can’t believe how lucky we are to have him so accessible in Austin. Edited May 19, 20223 yr by 40acredropout
May 19, 20223 yr Reminds me of the phone footage of Robert Plant and Patty Griffin playing at the Continental Club, and you couldn't hardly hear the band over the chatter. You fuckers managed to luck out into a once-in-a-lifetime show and you're too busy talking to listen to legends literally playing right in front of your face. God, I'd have paid hundreds of dollars to be there, but I didn't get word in time, yet these fucks? I still hate people.
May 19, 20223 yr 1 hour ago, Al_4_ISU said: I would have had a hard time not killing that guy Yep. No combination of dirty glances, shushing, or reasoning were going to have an impact on this fucker. In the moment, I definitely would've seen a kill shot as justified. See JM is going through Iowa City in June- you going to make it out? Feel like I remember you saying you're around DSM so not sure how easy that trip is. 1 hour ago, jimmyjazz said: Reminds me of the phone footage of Robert Plant and Patty Griffin playing at the Continental Club, and you couldn't hardly hear the band over the chatter.

Have definitely dealt with same shit at JM's full band CC shows. No less infuriating, but at least a little more understandable how dipshits pour in from the street having to check the ~Austin music~ box for novelty sake. Part of me pities them for not being able to see/appreciate what's in front of them. But also fuck those people for doing their best to ruin it for everyone else.

July 15, 20223 yr Just came across Pony Bradshaw, REALLY digging him. Very clean sound. Did a next waltz session too so he’s ‘approved’ http://youtu.be/iKas1WAZTOA http://youtu.be/zDu1GuqsrmM Edited July 15, 20223 yr by bluto
July 15, 20223 yr Wow, I dig that. Has a bit of that wry Lyle Lovett feel to the lyrics. I almost never land on lyrics first, but when they hit, they hit hard. Thanks for that.
