Richard, Emmylou & Rodney

It’s a bit after 1:00 am and I just got back from a concert in Boston.

My friend, Chris and I went down this evening to see Richard Thompson with his “Electric Trio” and Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell with their band at the Orpheum Theatre.

It was a fabulous concert with Richard Thompson and his group – Taras Prodaniuk, bass guitar & the outstanding Michael Jerome on drums – doing an extraordinary opening set.

Here’s a video of this very same group doing a song I heard them play tonight: “Salford Sunday” from Richard’s latest CD: Electric.

And here’s another video of a song I heard tonight, this time of Emmylou & Rodney doing the title song from their new album: “Old Yellow Moon.”

I hope you enjoyed those. If you get a chance to catch either one of these artists performning live anytime, do so. They come highly recommended.
