Beat the Devil Back

Hallelujah, it's live Americana on Short Memory tonight.

Yes, brothers and sisters, we're gonna kick up the dust and shoo that old serpent right on back to where he come from.

I've been listening to a lot of Americana this week getting ready for tonight's show, and it's interesting how much of it deals with the devil, either falling for his nasty tricks, or getting him hence.

Tonight I'll play Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Uncle Tupelo, Bright Eyes, The Felice Brothers, Old Crow Medicine Show, Jerry Garcia, among others. I'll cap off the two hour show with highlights from a real fine Wilco show that they were kind enough to provide me with, straight from the soundboards.

I'd be much obliged if you join me tonight.
