Disappointment
I just got the news that the Meat Purveyors , Austin’s most ass-kicking bluegrass band (you heard me), have cancelled their Friday night gig at the Tractor Tavern. There’s no word on a make-up date yet. It makes the decision of whether to see their show or Lucinda Williams easier. Besides, John Doe, punk’s Sam Shepard, is opening for her and his new album with its bluesier sound and downhearted vibe is one of his best. And he’s still foxy as hell at 51.
