Dave Alvin is a national treasure. He's played with The Blasters, The Knitters, X, The Flesh Eaters, and The Pleasure Barons (with Mojo Nixon and Country Dick Montana). Dave Alvin is on tour right this very minute with Jimmie Dale Gilmore. And his third book comes out in September. It's called New Highway: Selected Lyrics, Poems, Prose, Essays, Eulogies and Blues. It's got stories about Merle, Buck, Bo Diddley, Ray Charles, and Frank Zappa.
He's a writer, actor, guitar slinger, songwriter, Grammy winner -- what else do you need to know? There's a couple of poems and a whole lot of music in today's share. Get you some!

Cool beans -- thanks Stinky!
ReplyDeleteJonder, this is a real gift. Dave is an American treasure. Followed his solo career and other projects since The Blasters, who I saw live on tour with Lee Allen. Rank & File opened!!! Best bar show I ever saw, even drank with the Alvin Bros. and Lee, what a night. Thx for this, adds to my Dave Alvin collection.
ReplyDeleteRegards, Jeremy
Thanks for your comment. It's a gift from Stinky, and we're glad you like it! Sounds like an amazing night! I would love to have seen Rank & File, or the Flesh Eaters lineup with Dave Alvin. "A Minute to Pray, A Second to Die" is one of my all-time favorite albums. I think Dave Alvin played with the Gun Club for awhile too. I wonder if Dave has written about that era of Slash Records bands: the Blasters, the Knitters, Rank & File, Flesh Eaters, the Gun Club and X.
DeleteI've had the pleasure of seeing Dave Alvin with The Flesh Eaters, The Blasters (twice), and solo with one of The Skeletons playing with him. He never disappoints and he's also one of my favorite songwriters. I have more rarities to post if this post goes over big! - Stinky
