I went to the one in SF at the Chapel. It was merely OK. He started by admonishing us to not shout out requests because then he would absolutely not play it.
So I shouted âHello Itâs Meâ
(I mean, seriously, we're all rabid fans. No need to play the hits to the point that you ignore the other great stuff in the catalog.)
I was at the actual show at City Winery you posted, I remember the green t-shirt. And I agree, it was not his best show. He was WAY too political, almost belligerent with the audience. While the original Unpredictable tour was fun and interesting, this show just seemed like he was playing because he had time and just regurgitated the last tour.

I wouldn't say "rip-off" - that term appears far too often in the song comments and it's usually inaccurate. It's more like an "homage" to me. That spoken-word-over-background-music genre has been around for a long time, though Nordine did better than most and usually had very good background music.
Of course there's this fine, familiar example:

I thought it was a direct intentional rip off of Ken Nordine

Sorry I'm so slow getting this reviewed, the last few weeks have been a non-stop panic attack of busy. It was nice to have this to pop in and chill to. Standouts for me:
Nutter & Von Rabbit - Where the heck did this come from? Terrific choice for the disc. Was not familiar with either artist and found this intriguing.
Carter Tanton - Another gem and another new artist to me. Great tune to relax to.
Billy F Gibbons - Reminded me of some Robby Robertson, nice creepy vibe. Did not know any of the ZZ Top boys had done solo work.
MMODE - Another intriguing track, yet another new artist. Interested to hear more from them.
DBT - Don't normally associate them with the desert, but this fit right in and was a nice crunchy nugget in the mix.
Soccer Mommy - This one stopped me in my tracks. Singer reminded me of Deb Talan. Another new artist to check out.
Los Lobos - One of their better tunes, I reckon. Love the fuzz guitar.
Great mix, nice theme, and I have to second the praise for the artwork. Thanks for lighting up the mailbox!
Hey. No problem on the time.
I get myself in those situations many times.
Jessica Von Rabbit fronts the band Gram Rabbit... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Gram Parsons influenced? They're a local band (Joshua Tree), and would be considered "quirky".
I have no idea where I found that Carter Tanton song. But I'm glad I did. Come to think about it... I have a hard time remembering where I find a lot of songs in my playlist. I use Shazam a lot when I hear a song I don't know. Then research it from there. Most times it takes a while for me to get to them.
That's it! I couldn't figure out what Billy Gibbons reminded me of there in that song. Thank you for jarring my memory.
I have a lot of Soccer Mommy songs in my playlist. I like that band a lot.
Thanks for the kind words. And I'm glad you found it interesting.
One might notice I appropriately used "The Coachella" font for my titles.
