Routes and Branches Play List 01/22/11

I put together this week's show mostly around groups that have played recently in our area or will be coming in the near future.
Robert Plant and his "Band Of Joy" just announced a show at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland on April 19th. Plant's album "Band Of Joy" which came out last September is still sitting at #1 on the Americana Music Association's chart. Besides Plant the band has a stellar line-up which includes Patty Griffin, Byron House, Marco Giovino, Darrell Scott and Buddy Miller who also co-produces the album with Plant.
Other artists playing in our area soon include Amos Lee who is playing in Eugene tonight, The Asylum Street Spankers who are playing their last show this week at the WOW hall, Tom Russell who stops by Tsunami Books on Feb. 5th. and Drive By Truckers who will be making their 1st Eugene appearance in March. Speaking of the Drive By Truckers every time I play their new track "Used To Be A Cop", I get a lot of phone calls asking about it. It is one of two tracks from the new album Go-Go Boots that the Truckers released on a 10" vinyl 45. Go-Go Boots is due out on Feb. 15th.
2011 is shaping up to be a good year for live music. Get out and see your favorite artist or group.
