Abe Lincoln's TOP Ten at City Stages
Friends I hope to do this one justice as it was oozing to get written about a week ago but may not be as sterling as the muses were talking then; or something like that.
City Stages had a good run in Birmingham Alabama in the Nineties through midway of the first decade of the 21st Century. And they those days were gone forever.
For a bout fifteen dollars every third week in June for three days you could see music acts you never thought you would see say growing up in Gaffney South Carolina.
So for fun in Abe Lincoln had been a contemporary here is what Ive concluded.
Eight: Randy Newman singing Rednecks about Lester Maddox and friends. I was there, heard every word
Number Seven
Iris Dement cause he woulda loved that Authentic Arkansas Twang and earthiness
Six The Gospel choirs on Sunday at the Methodist Church downtown cause he would see the Joy of Birmingham emancipation 140 years into Emancipation.
Five The Temptations
Four Gillian Welch. Authentic Bluegrass woulda connected with his Kentucky genetics
Three Bob Dylan, the Balladier who sang on my 50th Birthday May 18, 1953
Two, Sacred Harp singers of Alabama and friends. They sing same as he heard in the 1850s as Cold Mtn the Movie Proved.
And One Southern Culture on the Skids. I have to believe Abe woulda had a refined sense of humor by now and there aint no more Refined than the SCOTS
