The Gobblers Knob

Ok, ok.  Please listen (well, read I guess).  This Shiner Sunday at Love & War in Texas (Plano) may go down as one of the greatest ones EVER!!!!!  We have known for a few weeks now that Gobblers Knob fave Ned Van Go would be the opener (even though they could’ve headlined in my opnion), but word came down today through my good friend (ok, ok, myspace friend, it’s almost the same) Jesse Dayton that he will be the headliner following NVG’s opening set this coming Sunday.  Jesse Dayton makes 2 or 3 visits to Shiner Sunday every year and they’re all fantastic.  The first time I saw him I almost didn’t stay for his set out of protest of him being the Shiner Sunday headliner over Dale “The Real Deal” Watson.  A few buckets of Tecate cans with lime in my Gary P. Nunn koozie later, and I was convinced that I needed a ride home (thank you Michael)….AND that Jesse Dayton put on one devil of a show.  His best selling album doesn’t even have his name on it.  It’s a concept album that he wrote and performed as “Banjo & Sullivan” for the Rob Zombie directed flick “The Devil’s Rejects.“  Thankfully, he usually plays a couple of cuts from the disc in his live set, with “She’s out getting nailed” as my favorite choice.  This Sunday represents a great combination of the concert-going experience.  A band from out of state that I have wanted to see for quite some time, but haven’t yet, along with a tried and true barn-burner that satisfies everytime. 

Look next week for a review, video, and an interview with Ned Van Go.
