Alvin Youngblood Hart is on the road with Luther Dickinson and Jimbo Mathus at present, we caught the show it Antone's in Austin last night. Had a great time, so did everybody else. Antone's was pretty packed, the guys on stage looked a bit surprised and pleased by the enthusiasm from the crowd at the end.
It was all acoustic instruments, guitars, 12 strings, metal resos, mandos, banjos, lap slide, jawbone, harp. Those planning to attend the Port T mando workshops will be pleased to know Alvin played some real solid mandolin throughout. Top songs for me were Big Road Blues, France Blues, Some Of These Days. Apart from country blues they played some old time and Carter Family tunes.
It's a pretty new ensemble and they're still pulling it together but nobody missed a change or ending and I reckon they sound excellent all round. Catch them if they come through your area. Good interplay on stage with everybody giving each other a lot of space.
