Flatlanders

You Houstonians into the whole Texas Music scene owe it to yourself to drop by Cactus Records later today. They are having The Flatlanders for an in-store performance (which usually includes free beer courtesy of St. Arnolds), starting at 6pm.

The Flatlanders are, of course, the group composed of the legendary Jimmy Dale Gilmore, Butch Hancock, and Joe Ely. I like most of their solo work better than the collaborative stuff, but these guys are worth seeing in whatever configuration.

Plus, you have to love a band whose debut album is entitled More A Legend Than A Band.

(Update) Turns out the Flatlanders broke with Cactus tradition and only did an AUTOGRAPH session instead of an in-store performance. To hell with that. I sat across the street at Maxwell's Pub and enjoyed several glasses of wine.
