The Wall Street Journal has a
glowing review of local girl
Tift Merritt's new cd
Traveling Alone. With help from Andrew Byrd,
John Convertino (Calexico), guitarist
Marc Ribot, ex-
Son Volt guitarist
Eric Heywood and others, Tift "put together what's likely to be a once-in-a-lifetime group of musicians that gives her new compositions an undeniable drive and a distinctive personality." You can stream three of the songs from the WSJ article.
There appear to be single night tickets for the
YepRoc 15th anniversary celebration (starting tonight through Saturday) for the Saturday show at
Cats Cradle that includes Tift along with John Doe,
Chatham County Line, Jim White,
The Sadies, The Minus 5, and Host John Wesley Harding. A bargain at $40.
