Friday Night Music

Filed under: Music — Patterico @ 11:06 pm



Something to take your mind off the stuff happening in Japan.

Got a fever today called rodeo.

Go on and pin another number to the back of my shirt.

I saw Foster and Lloyd back in the day at Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth, when they looked like this. Snagged the playlist and got it signed after the show. Still have it.

It wasn’t too much later that they went their separate ways, like most bands I have ever liked.

Turns out they’re getting back together for another album — the first in 21 years. (Am I that old?) If you’re interested, the details are at Radney’s site. I just preordered it myself.

UPDATE: As a bonus, here is this absolutely lovely acoustic performance of “Two Hearts” by the Jayhawks:

They too are making their first album in ages — the first collaboration of Mark Olson and Gary Louris to bear the name “Jayhawks” since 1995’s landmark “Tomorrow the Green Grass.” They say they’re picking up right where they left off, and what a great place to pick up that is. Look for the new album in late spring or early summer. And you can listen to more like the above at this link for a show they did on . . . well, NPR.

  1. I should do another quote quiz one of these days, like I used to back in the carefree pre-Obama days.

  10. In an unrelated but striking coincidence, the Kansas Jayhawks are creaming the Texas Longhorns in the Big 12 basketball championship game.

  11. Thanks, Pat.

    I LOVE these guys. I had the chance to see Radney Foster in Chattanooga in the 1990s after the duo parted ways. I think he’s a Sewanee University grad. I loved that he chose a woman from the audience to dance with during a long musical interlude. And when the concert was over, he walked the 8-10 feet across the sidewalk from the theater entrance to his tour bus. He was very gracious to the fans as we waved him goodbye.
