Caught Michael Jerome Browne at the Montreal Jazz Festival last night, playing one of the freebie shows. He put in a great set for an overflow crowd. One highlight for me was a real nice version of Tommy Johnson's Button Up Shoes, or Morning Prayer. It was a little odd seeing a crowd like that eating it up as well. Tommy J. Lives.
Michael's last CD has not been mentioned on Weenie, I think -- a double-disc, one live electric set, one a reissue of his self-titled first CD. It's called "Double". And he said there's a new one on the way this fall.
Earlier in the evening, I saw Richard Thompson performing a solo acoustic show (a ticketed event). He was masterly, a truly exciting guitar player and a joy to watch.
Not a bad night of music!
