Mr. Dave is one of the most innovative players going and is always out there taking musical risks. Besides that he is really funny. He also gave the middle finger salute to big label music after 3 albums with Elektra and sells his stuff on line only at https://www.davidlindley.com/cgi-bin/dlshop.cgi. For fun take a look at who Mr. Dave has played with...https://www.davidlindley.com/discography.html

Music is great. I'd go higher than a 7 if the lyrics were a bit less repeated.

I think (?) I first heard this album online when KPIG started streaming - it may have been BillG playing it for all I know. Before that I had figured David L. had disappeared or something. There's lots of fun stuff on this CD. Like "More Than Eva Braun".

How did this ever get through the LRC? Shoot me now!

I'm guessing this was played on oud (middle-eastern fretless lute), not guitar. It's nice to hear this mixture of near-eastern backing with a very American-sounding song. Probably some of my taste for Balkan music coming through.

Thanks God it ended ...

I don't need to hear it a *lot*, but much like Bela Fleck and the Smiths, it's nice mixed with other stuff.

Perfect "eclectic" tune for Radio Paradise. David is the man. He plays anything with strings and I like the collaboration with Hani Naser. Nice pick, Bill! :-({|=

Kansas is East, not West

yuk - perhaps the lyric "Way Out West in Kansas" needs to be repeated a little more in this song...

This guy sounds kinda like what Courtney Love would sound like if she were a male folk/bluegrass singer.

Anybody else hear "Down in the Boondocks" on the instrumental parts?

Would love to hear this more frequently in the playlist.

That's my STATE! Never heard this song before.

Mr. Dave made my day

Lindley is an awesome slide-man. Awesome side-man, too. This is a refreshing change from his reggae-beat El Rayo X things, which were very good, too.

" Way out East in Kasmir..."

dig it. nice tune.

Nice mix of musical traditions.

"Love is real not fade away.".... wait that's not the right words... same beat though.

You've just got an attitude because there's that hill between KC and Topeka before the state turns tabletop flat.

Hard to believe that western Kansas could be the inspiration behind a song.
