Should I Go See Marshall Crenshaw This Weekend?

Rick, I never answered your question from 12 years ago! Yes, I went and I loved it. Saw him last night with Los Straitjackets at the same place, too. Not as good, although the Straitjackets alone were fun as always. I think the Bottle Rockets are a more suitable backing band for Marshall.
Loved your Newport Folk Festival book, BTW.

He's touring again (though to be fair he plays often in NY). I've only heard him via 30 or 40 year old records, so I wasn't prepare to hear how much his voice has aged and thickened:

I may still go see him just because I never have.
