I saw Gary Louris at York Fibbers on my journey Oooop North and had to write and say how excellent he was. Now i am no expert on The Jayhawks or Louris solo material, but i was hugely impressed with the talent and quality of his songwriting. He played for 90 mins completely solo, to a crowd of around 200, and captivated the audience and came accross as a very nice humble person. He played a mixture of solo tracks and Jayhawks classics he also took requests from a deleighted crowd. Its unusual for me to attend a gig that is purely acoustic, but for the £9 entrance fee i am deleighted i did. Having since purchased the Vagabonds solo album i can report its an excellent album in the vein of Neil Young or Ryan Adams. If you get a chance check him of the album out. In the meantime here is a little taster for you to be going along with.....
Be back at the weekend with Vol12!
