Rodney Crowell at The Barn...

Great show by Rodney Crowell at The Barn in Nacogdoches last night. The Barn has been having some great Texas Music. This was our first visit as other shows we were interested in have always been when were working or out of town. Great venue, good food and friendly staff with lots of blog characters in attendance made for a happy evening. 






The Zack Walthers band opened. They were good with really great voices. In addition to original material they covered Dr. Hook's "Cover of the Rolling Stone." Not a classic rock cover you hear everyday. I liked the drummers stand up kit. Before the show me and him chatted a bit in the bathroom line. At the time I did not know he was in the band so it was just two dudes talking and he admired my western string tie. An interesting coincidence  as I saw Rodney last summer at Gruene Hall and a guy in that opening band admired my shirt. Either I know how to dress or my wife is right when she's says these guys are fishing.  

Really strong band backing Rodney. He gave the lead guitarist a chance to do a couple of songs.  

Rodney has some Nacogdoches roots. He went to Stephen F, lived in the dorms and later lived in a house on Durst Street. I think everyone who went to SFA lived on Durst St. at one time or another.
