    Truer Sound posted a bootleg from a tribute show to Johnny Cash at Austin City Limits Festival just a week after his death in 2003. It features tracks from Tift Merritt, Drive-By Truckers, North Mississippi All-Stars and The Old 97’s.

    That was so AWESOME. I was there live.

    This blog would be abuzz, too–if there was any WiFi available at any of the venues.

    Jim, have you tried the Global Cafe?

    I’m sad that the Drew Kennedy album isn’t available digitally on Amazon. I really like the free downloaded tracks from the NAV site.

    What’s with Bonnaroo being scheduled the same weekend as Fan Fair? I’m sure there are a lot of folks who would like to attend both. Crikey!

    Will Gretchen Wislon’s next album be released on CD if the new single tanks at radio, or will she join the growing “download only” crowd? Hmm…

    Thanks for the links to the Dottie West and Dale Watson songs. A good dose of real country music now and then never hurts!

    Hey Juli, when do we get a review of the new Sarah Jarosz from you! I don’t trust those folks down in Austin…(lol)

    North Texas, yes she did. I heard she mostly signed autographs but one of her only two times up, she hits a double with a RBI and scores herself. Not too bad an average!

    I just jotted down “Start a Juli Thanki fan club” on my “to do” list.

    Leeann, Drew’s album is available on iTunes if you want to purchase it digitally. “Goodbye,” which is on the NAV website is one of my favorites, but there’s some great ones we weren’t able to put on the site.

    Thanks Brady,
    I don’t know if I’ll break down and buy it from itunes, but I might. I just hate their mp4 thing so usually stick with Amazon’s mp3s instead. “Goodbye” is great.

    Go with the Rhapsody MP3 option then and save a dollar. You can’t beat that kind of deal ;)

    Sheesh, I never think of Rhapsody for downloading. I should do that.
