Further to Dave Tianen's
review in the
JSOnline today, Steve Earle didn't play
Billy Austin last night, he played
Ellis Unit One.
A hell of a show nevertheless, all three hours of it, from a real treasure of an American songwriter.
Also, China Gourmet on E. Wells St. serves the worst
spring cardboard roll I have ever eaten in my life. Not recommended.

Since you brought it up, that Dead Man Walking soundtrack which contains Ellis Unit One has other outstanding tunes by many of my favorite musicians. I also really love the Johnny Cash song "In Your Mind"; Tom Waits and his "Walk Away", and the sort of sleepy "Promises" by Lyle Lovett.
Thanks for the recommendation. I have the song on Steve Earle's Sidetracks album (which I've listened to so infrequently that it was the only song I didn't immediately recognize last night).
I must have missed Steve last time he made a west coast swing. Sigh. If only...
