The Avett Brothers — “The Perfect Space”
In anticipation of attending The Avett Bros. show on New Year’s Day, I was checking out some of their recent performances and ran into this clip of The Perfect Space. The track hits in the 5 hole on the band’s recent release, the Rick Rubin produced “I And Love And You”. The texture friendly album mixes the Avett’s unique combination of bluegrass/country/folk/punk/pop and is one of my favorites of ’09. Give it a listen.

Dickey Betts announces that he’s retiring from touring
DickeyBetts.com announced the following:
In New York City, a place where Dickey Betts had had many great achievements, he played what will possibly become his last touring date on December 12, his 66th birthday.
“I’m not retiring from playing. I’m sure there will be some great special events that I’ll be at in the future. But for now, I look forward to waking up tomorrow with nothing on my schedule.”
After more than 40 years of constant touring it’s time for a well deserved break. Stay tuned for updates on the Great Southern Band members and their associated projects, as well as updates on Dickey himself.
Happy Holidays to all…………………

At The Barbecue: Favorite Concerts of ’09
Hidden Track recently published a listing of their crew’s fave shows of ’09. The opinions and viewpoints vary, making it pretty darn interesting read. Check it out.
It’s been a few months since the HT Crew got together for an old fashioned cookout. With the cold weather creeping in and the holiday season upon us we thought we’d get the gang together one last time this year to throw some large hunks of meat on the grill and crack open a few Troeg’s Mad Elf Ale’s for another rousing edition of At The Barbecue.

The Lost Art Of The Mixtape: The College Years
TLAoTMT:
“While going through an old box of cds I found a few mixes that I had made for hanging out with my friends in college. The trickiest thing about these mixes was the balance between a broad range of musical tastes. The song selections were sometimes to teach, and other times to appease. The result was usually a very odd mix, but ultimately a snapshot of that time in my life… 2002.”
