Son Volt at Gruene Hall

Well as most of you know from a previous post last night Son Volt played at the historic Gruene Hall. And man was it an awesome show. I don't know if it was the Gruene Hall mojo or what but it was the best Son Volt show I have seen! Jay and the guys really brought their "A" game. With a mix of old and new songs there was also cool covers of two Waylon Jennings' covers first "Lonesome, On'ry and Mean" and then the encore was "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way" then there was a cool cover of Doug Saham's "Mendocino". Other highlights included Eleanor Whitmore (plays with Bruce Robison's band) sitting in on fiddle for a couple songs like "Slate" and then the dueling steel guitars between both pedal and lap steels on a few others. Again great, great show if you missed it you really missed a special night of music at one of the best live music venues out there!
