David Byrne was excellent after "look Into the Eyball" came out. Other notables are John Prine, Waylon Jennings, Steve Winwood, and Rodney Crowe, Tom Waits, Bela Fleck, John Hammond, and too many more. But SRV 2 was just wicked good, and yes, "effortless" describes the performance best. My jaw hits the floor every time I see it.
Your Favorite Austin City Limits
Eric Taylor was on Austin City Limits last night and I was reminded how many great performances there were on that show week after week. For me, two shows really stand out: Stevie Ray Vaughn and the Allman Brothers. SRV played with so much feeling so effortlessly that it seemed like he was drawing inspiration and grace right out of the air -- if there is a muse, I experienced it's manifestation.
What about you? What are the great shows? Have you "discovered" new music you didn't hear before? Are you addicted?
