Steel Belted Radio – Roots Rock Weirdoes

Last night Andrew Neville & The Poor Choices ended off a 12 year run of weekly Wednesday shows with a big bash at The Cavern. That got me in the mood for some classic outlaw country and a bunch of goofy tunes as well.

Tonight the university is being overrun by classic rock lovin’ loogans stumbling around pretending that AC/DC is still cool, so we’re prerecorded so I can keep my distance. We will, however, hear a few people who can actually sing do some AC/DC songs, as well as some other “classic” covers. There are other, far more deserving shows going on, so a chat about some past and future worth caring about. As if that weren’t enough, we’ve got some great new music!
