Damn, I completely forgot to mention this big Ronnie Dawson tribute that took place in Dallas over the weekend (sorry Tjarko). Like previous nights in NYC and even here in Holland, the event was organized to raise money for Ronnie's wife who not only lost her husband, but was also left with a small mountain of medical bills to pay. So as to kinda make up for my absentmindedness, here's a link that enables you to send some money here way. You know it makes sense...
A couple o' quick news updates: Swedish band the Sewergooves have just released a fine acoustic EP on Richie Records, featurin' solid versions of the Nomads' 'Where The Wolfbane Blooms' and Roky's 'I've Never Known This 'til Now'. ***** The Lazy Cowgirls have "just finished recording an all acoustic cd, with a couple electric guitars here and there, a little drums, a mandolin, an accordian and piano. We're looking for it to be released in late summer on Sympathy for the Record Industry".
From the man himself...
Eric Ambel to release catalog and a new CD on Lakeside Lounge Records.
With the release of Knucklehead on his own Lakeside Lounge Records Eric "Roscoe" Ambel clears the slate on 14 years of tracks that have been clogging his iPod. The record features 15 songs with various bands including various Roscoe's Gang configurations, the all Roscoe "Gringoman", the Bottle Rockets, Martins Folly, some pre-Yayhoos and the Yayhoos recording of the Del-Lords "Judas Kiss" with Steve Earle providing harmony. The record features some new Ambel compostions (Stepside, Garbagehead), some covers by Chip Robinson, Tom Waits, Neil Young and a new Steve Earle tune (the Usual Time).
Lakeside Lounge Records will also re-issue Ambel's 2 previous solo records. Rolling Stone Magazine called Ambel's 1988 debut Roscoe's Gang "the record Keith Richard should have made". The core band is Springfield MO's Morells with Syd Straw and Peter Holsapple as guests. Loud & Lonesome is Ambel's '94 release featuring songs written with Kevin Salem, Dan Zanes, Dan Baird and Terry Anderson with a very raw 3 pc muscle car band ripping through the tunes. Roscoe's Gang gets a re-mastering job and all 3 titles are in the digi-pack format with extensive notes and photos.
Look for all 3 titles to be available mid March '04.
