Our boys score and have band will travel
One of the best things about this gig is opening my inbox every day and finding emails suggesting new bands for us to cover or giving us news about what’s happening with bands so that I don’t have to do the work to find out for myself.
This morning I learned that Jeff Nichols’ film Shotgun Stories is premiering at the Berlin Film Festival on Feb. 14th, 2007. None other than Ben Nichols has written the score for this movie (Jeff Nichols is Ben’s youngest brother, apparently talent runs in the family). I understand it’s a very southern story in vein of To Kill a Mockingbird and Hud. Friends and readers in Berlin or close by, y’all need to go see this, since you can see it first, and report back to us on the film and the Lucero-driven score.

Cory Branan is playing a couple shows next weekend in Kentucky with Todd Snider. This is a double bill not be missed. If you’re within 5 hours’ drive and a fan of either of these guys, you better hop on up to see this. This tour is also taking Todd (sans Cory) through Texas and out to the west coast so go get tickets now.

Out west is seeing some good music this winter. The Avett Brothers are there now, so I expect all you cool coastal kids in Oregon and Califoria to get up go see them right away!

If you’re out east, our pal, Chris Milam, is touring through the cold, dank winter, just so you can have the pleasure of seeing him live and in person. When you do see him, tell him how great he is and how much you enjoyed his show and then tell him to be nicer to us here at HCT.

And because it’s been a while since I spammed y’all with what I’ve been digging up on YouTube, here’s a very young Emmylou singing Townes for us:
I know I’ve said it before but YouTube has got to be one of the best things on the internet for bringing me things like this that I never would have seen otherwise.

Keep sending us email, my lovelies, we love it almost as much as we love music.
