Solomon Burke, Nashville
TOMORROW IS FOREVER
AIN’T GOT YOU
Nashville was produced by Buddy Miller, who records and performs with his own band and with his wife Julie (Buddy and Julie’s cover of Richard Thompson’s “Keep Your Distance” is particularly wonderful). Buddy’s work with Solomon Burke is terrific. “Tomorrow Is Forever” is an old Porter Wagoner-Dolly Parton song that the Grateful Dead covered a few times in ’74 (you can hear it on the Grateful Dead Movie soundtrack CD set), and Dolly joins Solomon Burke on this performance, too.
Support for the Grateful Dead Hour comes this week from:
Livewire Recordings, presenting a new CD by Devon Allman’s Honeytribe. Torch features 11 tracks of rock, blues, and reggae. Devon is the son of Gregg Allman, and Honeytribe is on tour with Gregg throughout the US from November through January.

Bruuuuuuce! This is a bit spooky since I listened to that Bruce album just yesterday for the first time in years.
Is it just me, or do the ’76 shows seems to plod along at a significantly slower pace than the rest?
The band definitely took things at a slower pace for a while there.
