Musical palate cleaner: put the load right on me.

Wilco, Nick Lowe and Mavis Staples covering The Band… how bad could it be?

Pretty damned good, actually.

    You can stream the actual performance instead of the rehearsal (and the whole Wilco show) by going to the Wilco Roadcase.

    Wilco is obviously known as a Chicago band..but lots of SEC flavor in the membership. The bass player went to Ole Missand the drummer is a UK grad. Multi-Instrumentalist Pat Sansone is a So. Miss grad. TMI

      Nels Cline was influenced at an early age by Duane Allman. They pulled Duane’s ’57 Les Paul out of storage at the GA Music HOF for Nels to play at the Atlanta show this fall.

    Hot damn, that was great. Man I love Wilco. Anyone with last name Staples that sings soul is going to be a slam dunk, too.

    If you’ve never heard Mavis Staples’ album “You Are Not Alone,” you really should. Jeff Tweedy (Wilco) produced it and provided the guitar work all through the album. Fantastic work.
