I got my tickets ordered yesterday for 2 shows coming to the AZ state fair. First up is Bob Dylan. He was supposed to play an outdoor gig here in July (good planning...) with Willie Nelson but that crazy Arizona heat put a stop to that one. They coulda moved it indoors (like they did with a B.B. King/Neville Brothers show some years back) but, I guess the idea was to play minor league ballparks. I guess the fair's a good make up gig. While his new cd, 'Together Through Life' had it's moments, the one he released just before it, 'Tell Tale Signs', was just stunning. Alternate and live versions of stuff he did in the late '80's/early '90's. It'd be cool to hear summa dose chestnuts! Next up is a weekday show from Black Crowes. If you've never seen 'em, do yerself a favor; shell out the pennies and go. I've never been disappointed after a Crowes show (even the one the Gov't Mule opened for them). I've seen them every time they've come through Phoenix with the lone exception of their first club tour. Don't remember if they were still on the infamous ZZ Top tour when it rolled through here. Don't think so... Anywhose, they'll be supporting their latest offering 'Before the Frost', recorded live up in Woodstock, NY at Levon Helm's place. Great disc for alla da long time Crowes fans! When you buy the physical disc, there's a code inside for a free download of the companion 'Until the Freeze'. 'Freeze' is really a buncha country style songs. Different for the Crowes but some good down home stuff there.
You can currently hear songs from the above mentioned discs on NOTIMEWARP RADIO. Go there now! http://www.notimewarp.com/
