It was a memorable moment, seeing the band pull it together off-script. when they appeared for their planned two-song encore, a heckler pleaded for Stuart to play the Marty Robbins classic, “Poor Side of Town.” Amazingly, without any prior notice or rehearsal, Stuart found the right key and sang a few verses with the band right behind him. The Willie Nelson cover “Me and Paul,” was superb and came with a great story about Willie, while the Rouse Brothers classic “Orange Blossom Special,” showcased Stuart’s out-of-this-world mandolin skills.įurther credit to the band. Several acoustic tunes showcased the band’s skills, and the sound quality at the Odeum was the best I’ve heard in a long time. Other highlights included the Travis Tritt cover “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’” and a sublime version of “Matches,” with the road-worthy lyric “Matches, I need some matches, cause I still got one old bridge I need to burn.”ĭrummer Harry Stinson stepped up on guitar for a couple of tunes, including a nice version of the Woody Guthrie classic “Pretty Boy Floyd,” underscoring the classic verse: “Through this world I’ve wandered, I’ve seen lots of funny men Some will rob you with a six-gun, and some with a fountain pen.”
