(via CI | Chicago Independent Distribution) So, I bought this in a used record store today not realizing it was a recent re-pressing of a little known Gary Stewart band. Still good though, kind of Byrds-y with more group yelling style vocals. Making it sound like 80% of the new new alt.country americana bands wandering up and down the west coast. - http://christopherknaus.com/post...

Last night, I saw one of the last shows ever to be held at the Southgate House, a Newport, Kentucky, institution for almost as many years as I’ve been going to shows. It was only fitting that alt.country darlings The V-Roys took the stage for the twelfth or so time at the venue a few days before it closes, having last played together as a band in public in 1999. They only recorded two studio albums, a live one, and a handful of outtakes from EPs, but if there’s a clunker in the bunch, I haven’t found it.
 
I can’t put into words how much I loved the show last night. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve been to a show where I knew every word of every song and could sing along to every note.
 
I remember the first time I heard “Cold Beer, Hello,” in the parking lot of the Best Buy in Greenwood, when my friend Lane emerged from his job there with a copy of Just Add Ice in hand. I fell in love immediately, and have been a fan of The V-Roys and their descendants, Scott Miller & The Commonwealth and Mic Harrison & The High Score, ever since. Hell, Scott’s played Twangfest more than any other non-St. Louis-based artist. We all kinda love them.
 
Anyway, I’m still buzzing, and my ears are still ringing, and for having two hours’ sleep under my belt, I’m in a remarkably good mood. Music that burrows into your heart and your brain, shared with a close friend and a room full of people only a few of whom I’d murder given the opportunity—popped collar shaved head knit cap in sweltering rock club stupid frat dude dancing guy, I’m looking at you—well, I remember why I spent ten happy years working for Twangfest, and why I’ll never stop going to shows, because on the right night, magic can still happen.
  
COLD BEER, HELLO!
