RTP-area local music and culture

If you personally felt that particular CD lacked direction (it was slow 
and meandery, that's for sure, even for them) then you might try the 
ones prior to it. I think you'd particularly enjoy "My Morphine" off of 
Hell Among the Yearlings -- mentioned in the NYorker article, IIRC. In 
fact, I'd go so far as to call that disc 'essential' if you're at all 
interested in them.

It's probably square to admit it in this company, but Welch/Rawlings are 
definitely on my top-20-shows-of-all-time list. I'm even willing to 
overlook the annoying-as-fuck faux-jazz/bluegrass applause-for-solos 
thing that too many of their audience members do. Makes no sense to me, 
as David never showboats & it's always about The Song First, and you'd 
think the people in the audience would get that, and why the fuck would 
they want to trample the delicate transitions between sections with 
their dumb clapping, but point being they're so *good* that I'm willing 
to overlook it.

t'was a nice article, too. I'm so so grateful that Tina Brown's tenure 
at the NYorker was relatively brief and seems to have had few lasting 
bad effects.
