If you asked me what one of my favorite records of all time is you’d get kind of a strange answer. It would probably be this little record from Bob Cheevers called Gettysburg To Graceland. While it was up for a Grammy in 1998 it was mostly overlooked by music industry types. I couldn’t put my finger on it right at the moment but when I do find it we are going to have a nice reunion that CD and I.
In the meantime Bob Cheevers has a new record out in Europe that will see the light of day here in the states on February 14. It’s a concept album about Texas called Tall Texas Tales. And seeing that certain parts of Texas are also some of my favorite places (namely Austin) it was a no brainer to point this one out to you. Bob Cheevers is a storytelling songwriter and this record (like the title suggests) is full of wonderful stories about Texas and its unique people.
Tall Texas Tales comes out officially on Feb. 14 but you can buy it early now via Cd Baby here.
