Another Reason To Like Caitlin Cary
Caitlin Cary is not only a GREAT musician -- she also has a great attitude about fans recording her shows:
I guess I am uniquely qualified to answer this question! I'm fine with taping and trading, and thus far it seems that my fans have been true to their word when they've promised not to try to profit from taping. I have found a few things on e-bay, and that's when I get nasty. Barring that, please feel free, and thank you for listening.It's almost never tapers who put stuff on eBay, but jackasses who have somehow gotten their hands on a show that some taper has been gracious enough to share with other fans. And of course, those jackasses ruin it for everyone. That's one reason I'm not into "trading" the shows I tend to record. Generally, they're for my personal enjoyment, and for the enjoyment of friends I know who were there (and the musicians, if they want 'em) -- people who won't go take the things and try to sell 'em on eBay.
The Jayhawks, on the other hand, seem to have one of those annoyingly ambiguous taping policies along the lines of "Officially, our management doesn't allow taping, but if you're not a pain in the ass about it, we musicians don't really care." So, I may or may not try to stealth a recording of their upcoming Continental Club gig. That room doesn't record worth a shite anyway, so we'll see.

Caitlin Cary is great. There's a reason Ryan Adams' post-Whiskeytown stuff doesn't hold up, and it's because she was the soul of that group.
In my opinion.
I like the Jayhawks, but the last few shows of theirs I've seen have been a little...bloodless, I guess. I can't decide if I'm going to check 'em out next week or not.

Agreed on Caitlin!
On a more regional level, it reminds me of a Texas band I used to follow quite a bit (I'll avoid naming names), whose co-frontperson became too big for the rest of the band. The split worked out fine, though, because the real heart of that band is doing some great work right now.

Are we talking about the Dallas band named after a train song here?

Nope, I was thinking of a western part of the state. :)
