As we wind down FRR's First Annual Month Of Train Songs, we come sliding into the proverbial roundhouse with a now defunct band (The Gougers) that has given way so that other bands (The Trishas & St Cloud) might rise from the wreckage.

Brian Keane

This cannot be the first post to mention Brian Keane. Is it? He played the first dance song at my wedding fergoodnesssakes. No, actually, it isn't. I mentioned his debut record here.

Anyway, he was gracious enough to allow a few recordings to be posted to the Live Music Archive at archive.org.

In case you don't remember, he won Song of the Year honors with Hayes Carll for their song "She Left Me For Jesus" in 2008. He's a talented songwriter. Check out his live stuff.

Mark Jungers And Friends @ Gruene Hall

Here's a nice show from Mark Jungers and the Whistling Mules from last week at Gruene Hall. There's a bunch of tracks on this show where he and the band turn on the electric guitars.

After they close the show with a rollicking cover of "Powderfinger" featuring special guest Scott Nolan, they get a few special guests to play some songs. Namely, Adam Carroll shows off two of his new tunes "Oklahoma Hustler" and "HiFi Love" before launching into a cacophonic cover of "Werewolves of London". Duncan Walters also does a pair of his own tunes before Mark rejoins the gang for a few more to close out the night.

Thoroughly enjoyable all the way around. Enjoy.
