Another classic recording from Folk Alliance. This time, it's the legendary Jim Lauderdale.
Doin' "A Solid" For Celebrity Coaches
We had a blast getting to camp out on our opulent Celebrity Coach during FA. So much so, that we put together the following documentary (okay, we ain't gonna lie to you...it's a borderline commercial folks) to express our thanks to Blake and the whole staff. If Jessie and Beans continue to do quality hosting jobs like this, they'll land the ShamWow gig in no time...

Steve Poltz: Singer, Songwriter, Maniac
During our trip to Folk Alliance in Memphis, we ran into a wide range of characters. None were crazier than Steve Poltz. This man claimed (on camera) to have started FA over 20-years ago, and told us he was starting a sponsorship with Wal-Mart next year to place Khakis in the lobby of the hotel. It was an obvious hoax, but nonetheless genius.
Anyway...it was a rainy day in Memphis when Poltz stopped by the Music Fog bus to lay down this great track called "Trash." Basically, it's the "other side of the story" from the guy who got shot in one of Johnny Cash's songs (Folsom Prison Blues). At the end of the song, the rain fell, and it was magic. Check it out...
