Spoon’s ‘Take Away Show,’ Bridge Farmers, and the Motards

Wednesday Rewind

Every episode of la Blogotheque’s Take Away Show is worth watching. The slipstream voyeurism by French filmmaker Vincent Moon and company captures indie bands in a light unlike anything else, casually cinematic and instantly memorable. Spoon’s recent taping might be my favorite to date. Click here to download the full session.

The Houston Kid

Rodney Crowell's 2001 triumph, The Houston Kid, was essentially memoir in song, a poignant look back at his dirt-poor childhood on the outskirts of town. That album also helped spark the writing of Chinaberry Sideawalks, his stellar debut memoir. Expect the two to come together when Crowell visits BookPeople on Friday, 7pm.

Record Skipping

Other women grab the spotlight in the world of Americana, but no one possesses the courageous vision and songwriting virtuosity of Abigail Washburn. The Nashville-based banjo player’s latest, City of Refuge (Rounder), is another jump forward after her work with the Sparrow Quartet, which included Bela Fleck and Ben Sollee.
