EDDIE HINTON TRIBUTE SHOW
BY JOHNMURRY
Following the San Francisco screening of "Dangerous Highway", a truly motley group gathered for a drunken afternoon at Annie's Social Club on Folsom to pay tribute to the brilliant Eddie Hinton. Eddie, known for his brilliant songwriting, was not well known for his most important endeavour; turning Dan Penn on to acid. There were raffle tickets. Mark Eitzel, in all his glorious agony, won an Eddie Hinton cd. For a brief moment the wellspring of tears ever-present in his angelic eyes dissipated. There was music. Tom Heyman started off the show with some beautiful balladry and was followed by the sensitive Mike Therieau. I was confused. My soul was saved soon after by Mr. Chuck Prophet. Chuck, in all his sweaty rock and roll glory, stepped on stage with his band, threw on his beat up Telecaster and played, yes PLAYED. It was brilliant. He even remarked on stage that when he first heard Alex Chilton he wanted to make it with him. We were thrilled. We were surprised. It rang so true.

Sue`s old band Bark Psychosis`s singer/main person, Graham Sutton, produced the Jarvis solo album recently released.....he is a fully fledged paid up member of the Rough Trade Producers Union now. He does have god-like genius, Jarvis, I mean, no doubting it. what I like about him is the terrorist attack on Wacko`s big TV awards gig a few years back and the fact that Pulp were going for many years when they finally ripened in the turgid BritPop pig roast BBQ at Tony Blairs meet and greet room @ No 10.They and Jarvo knew how to conduct themselves when they joined the party, unlike some; whose surname ends in G and, of course, gappy DJ Allbran
"This is important, Reno: did you like the Drive By Truckers? "
John, even in Fresno we have heard rumours and fables of The Drive By Truckers, so we shined on Richard Thompson just so we could catch the Truckers' set at HSBG.
I was happier than a pig in slop. I went right over and bought "The Dirty South" at Amoeba on our way out of town. I must get more Truckers' albums. Where should I start?
