I need some new music

If you like Townes then you probably already like John Prine whose new record I thought was good. Also really liked Brandi Carlile's new record (By The Way, I Forgive You).
An oldie and obviously a classic but At Fillmore East - The Allman Brothers Band finally clicked for me recently.

If that guy ever coagulates a more solid style and puts out an album he might be somebody. Of course it's hard to tell about his style since he's only got 6 or 7 songs that seem to be out there in the ether.

Brandi Carlile is magic. Her voice cuts right through me. Maybe give the Wood Brothers a listen if you haven't, or Shovels and Rope.
Thought I'd mention this for anybody that didn't know. Black Flag is on their farewell tour Dec 6 at Beer City Music Hall in OKC.(Where I recently saw brit chick Lola Young) @Li'l Eric Coley @HuffyCane
No Henry Rollins, sadly.

"See How We Are" right? He replaced Billy Zoom for that X album. It was a good one.
I looked up the Beer City Music Hall, which incidentally I'd never heard of, to learn a li'l more about the show. I'm not sure I trust Greg Ginn to invest my time. Anyhoo, The Queers are opening up, whom I was never impressed with. We opened up for them at the Vanguard and somewhere else I can't remember.
Beer City Music Hall seems like a pop up venue for events only. Only holds 500 people, and there is a moderately limited bar, with no reentry. So you have to stay within the confines of their fenced in area out front, or the inside the building. They have a three burritos available, and that's it on the food. It seemed like s very corporate minded money maker type of place. Didn't care that much for the venue, but if that's where one of the artists you like is going to play, it suffices to see them live.
They seem to find local groups to open for most acts. Some OKC chick that did soul music contacted Lola Young, and she used her as her opening act. Same kind of deal as using the Queers. A low cost solution to opening acts, that don't tour with you, at a place that doesn't have much SRO room.

Made a mistake, thought I remembered an Oklahona band f/ the 80's called The Queers. Didn't remember these guys from the East Coast. They seem pretty bubblegum punk.
I'd like to put in a plug here for my son"s band, One Way Truckin'. It's a tribute band that plays exclusively Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers songs. They have a regular gig on the first Sunday of every month at Venue Shrine. They're really good.
