After further review...

One of the things about writing a review right after a show is that you invariably think of things later that you wish you had put in, or things that you had planned to put in and forgot.

Last night I went to the Fall Acoustic Showcase put on by WYRK-FM at the University at Buffalo's Center for the Arts. The place was sold out. The review is at http://www.buffalonews.com/entertainment/story/464965.html

What things didn't make it into the review? Well, I was using a horse racing handicapping metaphor and I wanted to refer to Ashton Shepherd as "the mudder, I mean, mother of the field. After all, she's got a 3-year-old son." That one didn't make it; maybe that was a little too much pun-ishment for the reader.

And I wish I had done more to describe Jamey Johnson's voice. Phrases that came to mind included, "a sounds as gnarled as a live oak, with a powerful bass thrum like a locomotive rolling through the night ... Or like Hank Williams Jr. or Waylon Jennings on depressents."

Nontheless, it was a fun show and a good one to review. I think that other than the Sportsmen's Tavern, the UB shows are my favorite forum to hear country music.
