On a whim last Thursday, we went to see
Elvis Perkins in Dearland at Johnny Brendas. Man, oh, man, I'm glad we did. He and his band are incredible. I LOVE them.
It's funny. I used to say that I would listen to anything except country music or rap. I listen to them both now. I probably would have added folky music in the list, too, had I thought about it. But I love that now, too. Sure, I'm still a music snob in my own way, but I'm glad I'll give anything a chance. I sure would have hated to miss out on Elvis Perkins in Dearland.
Check out this
video of him performing in the back of a cab in the UK.
