Next Wednesday, Sept. 18, the Legendary Stardust Cowboy is playing a brief show at Club DeVille that’s being filmed for Amy Manor‘s documentary on West Texas music. It’s free and open to the public. Says the notice I received, “There may be some special guests involved (the Flatlanders are playing at Stubb’s the night after).” The idea of surprise guests at the show is certainly logical, seeing as how the last time the Lege was here (at SXSW), it was only about an hour before the show when he made it clear he didn’t need a backline, he needed a backing band!
