Thread Name: PHC New Year's Eve show & Emmy Lou
Subject: RE: PHC New Year's Eve show & Emmy Lou
Cowboy Jack Clement was a darn sight better than most on the show. I didn't like the young guy's voice in Quicksilver. It was too strident and I've heard much better, tighter harmony.

Loved the Old Crow Medicine Show and would go see them in a heartbeat.

We were wondering if Emmylou was inebriated or had some sort of medical condition which caused confusion. It seemed obvious she was lost and/or had not had any rehearsals. I thought she'd do better once they handed her a lyrics sheet, but it was not to be. I hope she is okay.

I agree, I would have perferred hearing Sam Bush play more, but his singing is no worse than Keillor's.

Of course, I would've been happy just listening to Jerry Douglas the whole three hours. What a gentelman and what an incredible master. I can't believe I got to buy his first tape directly from him at an up-close-and-personal concert way back the early 80's in Rhode Island.

Thanks for your comments, folks.
