Pete Yorn endorses your blog choice

Everyone was in fine spirits (and enjoying fine spirits), and Pete was animated and friendly. From the opening beats of 'Black,' the guys played a superb setlist, although it was shorter than I liked (having to sit through three opening bands. Yes, three). Highlights for me were a gospel-ly rockin' version of 'Golden Road' that was very different from the Westerns EP, as well as a fun singalong cover of the Stones' 'Dead Flowers.' I debated bringing my camera in and recording that for you since I knew he's been adding it to the shows lately, but I decided to go bulkfree and not lug it. So here's another few guys I like covering it instead...
Dead Flowers - Willie Nelson, Ryan Adams, Hank Williams III, and Keith Richards

Crystal Village (live in Jersey) - Pete Yorn
After the show, I talked for a few minutes with Pete, and the first thing he said (if I may lapse into a bit of restrained girlish squealing) is that he liked my blog, that I did a good job with it. So hoo-WAH! Straight from the horse's mouth. Do catch this tour if you can -- they've still lots of shows to go, and are sounding great.

Pretty nice knowing Pete Yorn's a regular reader. Very cool!
p.s. "Dead Flowers"
You KNOW I knew that. :)
I think I had Cold Roses on the brain from the Ryan Adams mention....
wasnt it a great show? I saw him play 2 out of the last 4 (!) times he has in been in Austin in the past 6 months and the last time was simply wonderful.
side note: are you coming to SXSW this year?
I get to see him tomorrow in Indy!!! YEAH!!!
So where exactly did this "Dead Flowers" cover come from? It's INCREDIBLE. When were all of these guys in the same room together? Had I witnessed that, I think I might have exploded from excitement.
Minbar kicks ass
Hey Justin, it's from this 2002 Willie Nelson CD - Stars and Guitars out on Lost Highway. Some other great artists on there too.
