Well, look on the bright side: they had it! My friend actually spent a whole afternoon in Nottingham looking for it for me! Of course, my friends are useless when trying to buy/order obscure CD's but even so it is hard to get hold of which I can't see changing unless it gets much more air play. I never liked country either but then I heard Shania Twain (though I'm sure I'll be told that her Country-ness is debatable), watched her on the CMA's and saw the Dixie Chicks. And if I remember right I thought they were awful. Then I saw them somewhere else and they seemed nice and so I listened to some tracks and bought the album which is relevant because they then went on tour with Patty of course. There is an article on Music Country.com where Martie (the fiddle player) talks about Patty and how much she loved Flaming Red, and so thats why they asked Patty to tour with them. I'll have a look for it and then post the article. So I think you can like country because it is changing with new artists coming in and also Patty isn't entirely country either. Plus as hardly anyone in England likes Country its fun to be asked who your favourite artists are and to be greeted with blank faces. Though I have converted a few people to liking the Dixie Chicks (including a Counting Crows fan who we expected to hate them) and of course Patty. I even converted someone in America to liking her who unfortunately saw someone else supporting the Dixie Chicks.

Just a note on Toshi Reagon: saw her open for Dar Williams in Boulder and Toshi blew me away. Literally. SHe blew the speakers into her second song and sang a'capella for most of the rest of her set--and the soul in that sista can only come from genes (her mother being BErnice Reagon, the founding member of Sweet Honey in the Rock)--if you have a chance go see Toshi. Well worth it. (Dar was pretty awesome too...)

My only complaint was the shortness of her set, but her last song, an Edith Piaf song, was worth the trip. don But like an ocean tide, I'm drawn back inside and I know. -- "Even With My Eyes Closed", 10,000 Maniacs Rob Buck - August 1, 1958 - December 19, 2000 http://gottabuck.org/ Don Semmens; Richmond, VA; donsem@concentric.net Visit my Regan Site http://www.concentric.net/~donsem/regan.htm ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2001 00:34:01 -0400 From: Don Semmens Subject: MM: Richmond Recommendation Just got home from a show that featured Richmond singer/songwriter Kate Lawton.
