The Status of Things
So my buds from Pedestrian Status (riverside crew!) dropped me off a demo of their new full length, scheduled for release as soon as I give him my two cents on the record... yea right. Anyway, sweet stuff, ya'll should check out some of the mp3's on their website.
Anyway... They're about as close as anyone that I know personally has come to achieving musically what this town is capable of giving. They solicited the help of some star studded players (mostly fellow wanderers from the north, they being from canada,) including a kickass pedal steel player from The Cowboy Junkies.
Well... I guess all I'm saying is that Austin is the goddamn Nashville one-up and that means country. Country, Folk, Americana whatever, it doesn't matter, it's just there's a redankulous amount of talent in this town, and the vast majority of them play in a traditional sense. They're songwritters, not experimenters. They work with what has/does work: Verses, Chorus, Bridges etc...
Lets play music people. Music is love and love is a song. People sing it. Dance to it. They don't stare at it waiting for it to do something completely and utterly unique, something that's never been done before, we don't need that. We've found something good, let's keep it going.
