ACL 2018: Phil Cook

Sunday at 1pm.  I was all set to camp out for Amen Dunes and then I listened to this.  Typical ACL Fest to throw all the good music against each other in one time slot.  Couldn't they have put one of these bands on at 12:15?  Now we have 3 choices.

Multi-instrumentalist Phil Cook has played in Hiss Golden Messenger, Megafaun, Gayngs, and Justin Vernon side project DeYarmond Edison, to name a few.  He just put out his 2nd solo album and I like it. Bluesy folk that's a throwback to 70s country rock.  I just listened to a playlist put together by Aquarium Drunkard that features live recordings of bands like Fleetwood Mac and Bonnie Raitt at a Sausalito radio station in the 70s.  I recommend it.    Then I put on "People are My Drug" and got the same vibe.  Just great music.
