\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Richmond Fontaine<\/a> are one of those bands that you either get or you don\u2019t. I get \u2018em and I get \u2018em good! Doesn\u2019t seem that long since I last saw them<\/a> but they\u2019re always welcome in these parts. Josie, Al and Bogbrush were present – it was like being in a chapter of Kershaw’s book…..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Laura Gibson<\/a> opened proceedings and reminded me of Liz Green in lots of ways. She was asked to tell a joke and told the only one she knows (which was a good un!). There\u2019s a free acoustic download version of her \u2018Beasts of Seasons<\/a>\u2019 when you get the CD\u2026.<\/p>\n

Richmond Fontaine played the whole of their new LP \u2018The High Country\u2019 which has their usual knack of cataloguing the bizarre lifestyles of their pals (\u201cI know a plethora of strange people\u201d) with a matter of factness.\u00a0 Willy Vlautin can tell you everything you need to know about someone in a few lines \u201cMy dad got sick so I moved back to town, but month after month it started grinding me down. I should\u2019ve stayed away, he never liked me anyway, even when he was sick\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was a full version of the snippets heard on the radio on the CD and a ballad about a woman who\u2019s husband is so obsessed with chainsaws, that he starts taking them to bed with him\u2026.Deborah Kelly gives another (quite sad at times) dimension to their sound. Will have to check out her band \u2018The Damnations<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n

After a short break they come back and play a few favourites. Willy introduces ‘Two Alone<\/a>‘ by saying he wrote it when loading and unloading trucks and the other guys used to take the piss cos he didn’t like sports “and I never will”. He\u2019s written a few books now (which Steve highly recommended) and I was very tempted to get one but plumped for the \u2018High Country\u2019 \u00a0CD instead which Willy kindly signed for me. \u201cI hope you\u2019ll like it\u201d \u201cI already do!\u201d<\/p>\n

Many thanks to John K and Tony W for the freebie.<\/p>\n
