HOT CLUB OF COWTOWN

Wild Kingdom

Gold Strike

 

The Texas trio are touring in November, so don’t miss the opportunity to see them fire up infectious western swing on the bandstand. There’s nothing quite like them, as Bob Dylan (an admirer) would testify. They tend to be more demure in the studio, but Elana James’s fiddle still strikes sparks. Amid all the original compositions, the graceful vocal harmonies on a cover of How High the Moon make the biggest impression. –CD
