Hey, y'all--

Hope this hasn't already been posted - I'm a digester. And thanks to someone
on the Emmylou list for bringing this to my attention.

Tom Russell is due to release a new album on April 1st, and it includes
three duets with Nanci, including Emmylou's Ballad of Sally Rose. 

I don't really know his music, other than that great song that Nanci covers,
St. Olav's Gate. He gives a blow-by-blow account of the new album at his
website, and it sounds like it'll be great.

Happy Saturday!

I should point out that the national release date is now April 22, but Tom
will probably be selling them sooner at his site.  I don't know the details
yet but he will also have a four song EP in a slipcase with one of the Nanci
tracks and an alternate take of another and then two outtakes that weren't
included on the Modern Art CD.

Just watched Nanci on the second showing of the Grand Ol' Opry.  She was in
fine voice - starting with "Love at the Five & Dime" and then debuting a new
song she'd written with Elizabeth Cook (who joined her on harmonies).  The
new song's great - and how wonderful of Nanci go come to the Ryman and sing
"Don't want your war, to take our children...."  The woman has guts.

No Ron De La Vega - band was LeAnn Ethridge on bass, James Hooker, Patrick
McIninery and Suzie (argh, forgot her name already) on mandolin.

Wish I had taped it now - that which has made Nanci so
appealing in the past showed up again (the smile, the
apparent nervousness during the interview - human side
showing up)...

That earns Nanci some major points. Did you hear the
audience react the first time through that sequence?
Yup, that showed some real courage. OK, now I'll go
buy her DVD - Carmel is forgiven (well, almost)...

...only wish she had worn one of her scarfs, though
that would not have gone well with the denim jacket.
It would have been very fitting with the second song
for those that know the story...

Hi ya'll,

I saw Nanci this evening on CMT, and I thought it was wonderful - I had no
idea she had teamed up with Elizabeth Cook, but I think that is a great
thing, I love both of them!  "Simple Life" was really a great song!  She was
looking and sounding wonderful, I thought!  8-)

See  ya'll

I agree with Graham S., eight is way to many for Norah Jones.  I thought
Springsteen was a sure bet for 'Album Of The Year".
I want to get on the panel of judges for the Grammys.  Where do I sign up?

Hello everyone!

I'm new to the list...was introduced to Nanci's music via the release of
"One Fair Summer Evening" over ten years ago.  I was a volunteer DJ at our
college radio station and it made our rotation.  It took me back to
childhood, somehow...I had never heard her before, but it brougth back the
wonder, the sweetness, the security of being a kid.  I keep going back to
this concert albums as one of my desert island necessities.

I'm happy to find a list of other fans!  Pleased to meet you!

(That said, I think Norah's album is awesome, and deserves the accolades.  I
also enjoyed Bruce's album.  I don't begrudge either of them, and am glad
they both received Grammys.)

Not directly Nanci-related, but news .....

>From the AP
Howie Epstein

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Howie Epstein, a former bass player for Tom Petty and
the Heartbreakers, died Sunday of what authorities suspect was a drug
overdose. He was 47.

Investigators were told Epstein had been using heroin, said Maj. Ron Madrid
of the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department. Epstein was taking antibiotics
for an illness, and he had recently suffered from flu, stomach problems and
an abscess on his leg, friends said.

"Apparently he passed out in the bathroom, and (his girlfriend) drove him to
the hospital," Madrid said. Epstein has been a respected musician and
producer for more than 20 years. In addition to his work with Petty, he
played on some of Bob Dylan's albums in the 1980s and produced a
Grammy-award winning album for folk singer-songwriter John Prine called The
Lost Years.

He was singer Carlene Carter's longtime boyfriend, producing two of her
albums, one of which was nominated for a Grammy. "I'm devastated," said
Carter, the stepdaughter of country singer Johnny
Cash and daughter of June Carter Cash. "I loved him very much. My kids
thought of Howie as their father.

Epstein teamed up with Petty in 1982 and also worked with Roy Orbison, Del
Shannon, John Hiatt, Stevie Nicks and Eric Anderson.
