Hometown shout-out
O' brother, I can't imagine the potential smackdown if The Meat Purveyors were to be lumped in with other s0-called New Grass revivalists.
In any sort of caged match, my money would be on singer Jo Walston
and her punked-out band, armed with mando and upright bass. For the better part of our young century, this speedy, whisky-bagging batch of Austin musicians has been sawing through original comps, notching some excellent releases on Chi-town's Bloodshot Records, not to mention rousing covers of everybody from George "The Possum" Jones to Fleetwood Mac. In addition to their SXSW gigs, the Purveyors play a Feb 24 benefit at Emo's for the Austin's fire-devastated Sweatbox Studio's, and on March 4 at the Carousel Lounge, a perfect place to hear them. Just don't forget your bottle.
