SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8
Son Volt / North Mississippi Allstars / Split Lip Rayfield @ THE BEAUMONT SHOW (Outdoor Show)
Doors @ 6pm, Show starts @ 7pm.
Touring on his latest release �Okemah and the Melody of Riot�, his first release since 1998�s �Wide String Tremelo�, Jay Farrar is back with all new players making up the ever-popular Americana favorite, Son Volt. The new line-up featuring Dave Bryson (Canyon) on drums, Andrew Duplantis (Alejandro Escovedo, Jon Dee Graham and Bob Mould) on bass and Brad Rice (The Backsliders, Ryan Adams and Tift Merritt) on guitar, will not disappoint old Son Volt fans or you new pups new to the Son Volt sound. I first saw the new line-up at Mississippi Nights in St. Louis last winter and was thoroughly satisfied and ecstatic to see the band re-formed, and back on the road again.
Joining Son Volt on the bill are the North Mississippi Allstars, crankin� out their brand of �psychedelic trance blues� and electric country blues�. NMA�s new recording �Electric Blue Watermelon�, partially recorded at Sam Phillips� Studio, features guest appearances by Lucinda Williams, Robert Randolf and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Be sure that this trio will have you shakin� booty.
As if the line-up wasn�t juicy enough, Lawrence/KC/Sad Dog�s favorite psycho-bluegrass band Split Lip Rayfield will slap you in the face and get your motor revved up with the first note. This show takes stamina and these boys will knock you into another universe. -jaq

The Last of the V8�s, and 400 Blows @ MIKE�S TAVERN
This is a reunion show for the V8�s. No word if this is a one time deal or if they are back to rock our ears off beyond the Sat. gig. Joining them is the latest and hottest punk band out of L.A. 400 Blows.

Ad AstraPer Aspra / The life & Times / White Whale @ THE RECORD BAR

The Frames and Josh Ritter @ THE GRANADA
I don�t know much about Dublin, Ireland�s The Frames, but Idaho folk singer-songwriter, Josh Ritter definitely caught my attention a few years back at a SXSW showcase. His release �Golden Age of Radio� is a must buy featuring my fav, his rollin� down the tracks ballad �Harrisburg� and a tune called �Lawrence, KS�, which should be an obvious hit at the Granada. -jaq

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9
Dwight Yoakum w/ Hanna-Mceuen @ THE BEAUMONT CLUB (Indoor Show)
If you were at Sad Dog HQ right now you would hear me purrrrrring like a kitten at the thought of seeing Dwight. If I�m gonna go country, this is the way I want to go. Since the day I bought �Tomorrow Sounds Today� it stays close to the player and I revert to his version of the Cheap Trick tune �I Want You To Want Me� when I am in the privacy of my car and get the urge to belt out a tune. -jaq

Black Diamond Heavies and The Bad Ideas @ FRED P. OTTS
We�re beginning to wonder and hope if the Black Diamond Heavies aren�t local to Kansas City with their recent frequency to our local venues. Here�s a band that we�d be proud to call our own. I�m telling you pups if you haven�t caught these East Nashville boys yet just do it. You�ll be thanking us later. I picked up their CD the first time I saw them and it has taken up permanent residence in the changer. Countless times guests to the house or those passing my office at the day job stop to ask, �who�s that�? �di

Sleater-Kinney w/ The Gossip @ THE BOTTLENECK (Lawrence, KS)

The Fags @ REPLAY LOUNGE (Lawrence, KS)
A couple of years ago a Dallas Record Label, Idol Records, sampler �Vital Idol� fell into my lap. From this sampler I discovered a Denton, TX band Centro-Matic (fabulous) and Detroit�s The Fags. I fell in love with The Fags� indie garage pop rock song �List� and was positive this would be a hit. Well, it hasn�t become �the hit�, yet, but it is a hit in the world of Jaq�s mix CD�s. To me it is one of those perfect catchy pop tunes that should have everyone singing in the shower. Later that year they opened up for L.A. punk band �X� at the Madrid Theater. I didn�t hear much of The Fags after that and I am thrilled to see that they have re-emerged and are out on tour. Humor me and check out �List�. It takes more energy than I can usually drum up these days to get me to drive to Lawrence for a show, but if I didn�t� already have a date with the Crowes, you could be sure I would be headed west for these cats. -jaq

NEW RELEASES
September 20 Billy Joe Shaver �The Real Deal� (Compadre Records)
�.and that he is. Only last year was this great American songwriter inducted into the Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame. Johnny Cash called him his favorite songwriter and he�s written for Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Waylon Jennings, Bobby Bare, The Allman Brothers and Kris Kristofferson. Billy Joe has lived a life faced with hard tragedies and turned those tragedies into some of the best songs never to become hits. His autobiography �Honky Tonk Hero� was one of the saddest I�ve read while still feeling his hope. Billy Joe makes it to these parts next Friday, October 14 at Knuckleheads. Pick up his new release or my favorite �Unshaven: Live at Smiths Olde Bar� (1995). But at the very least go to his show, you are likely to shed a tear, wear a grin or be moved to hug him after the show as I did last December. �di

Big Sweet Life: the Songs of Jon Dee Graham (Recorded Live at the Continental Club, Austin, TX, June 24, 2005).
100% of proceeds benefit the Willie Graham/Legg-Perthes Fund.
December 2004 Jon Dee and Gretchen Grahams' son Willie was diagnosed with Legg-Perthes, a rare childhood bone disease. Two months after the diagnosis, their health insurance company filed for bankruptcy, which left Willie uninsurable because the disease is considered a pre-existing condition. Treatment is necessary and expensive, ranging from physical therapy to surgical intervention.
So a good friend of the family, Scrappy Jud Newcomb suggested a benefit from which was born an amazing night at Austin's Continental Club and a live recording of the night, "Big Sweet Life". This is one kickin' disc featuring an amazing mix of musicians. A few of the highlights include Honky w/ Jon Dee rockin' "October", Bob Schneider tearin' up "Laredo", The Resentments "I Will Walk With You", and check this out, Alejandro Escovedo, Charlie Sexton and Jon Dee Graham together on "Kings" and "The Best". And an amazing bonus, The Willie Graham Players made up of Jon Dee, Charlie Sexton, Alejandro Escovedo, Scrappy Jud Newcomb, Andrew Duplantis and John Chipman on a song written by Willie Graham called "Rock and Roll".
Big Sweet Life also comes with a DVD featuring live performances from the News 8 Rooftop by Patty Griffin, David Garza, Kelly Willis, The Gourds, and many more.
Great music, great musicians, undeniably a great reason to buy a disc!!

JAQ�S NOTES:
I just wanted to give shout of congratulations to our Sad Dog friends that received a big �Best Of� in this weeks� The Pitch Magazine. To name a few:
In The Pines (Best New Band) Purrrrrrrr!, my second purrrr of the night.
Knuckleheads Saloon (Best Blues Club) Love that kickin� patio.
Bacon Shoe (Best Live Act) Yeah Right! Side piercing fun.
Roman Numerals (Best Sexy Musicians Male) New bar and Best Sexy�don�t let it go to your heads boys.
Litigators (Best Blues Band) Definitely deserve �Best Of� something, but (Best Blues Band)?
Sonic Spectrum, KCUR 89.3 (Best Radio Show) You should spend a Saturday with Robert Moore pups.
Fred P. Ott�s (Best Live Music Night) Best place to stay out late on a school night.
Wakarusa (Best Music Festival) How happy am I!?
Now, to bed, as there is much music to enjoy this week.

DI�S NOTES:
Kansas City did something pretty cool last Monday. The Cowtown for Crawdads benefit organized by New Orleans native Jim Ligon was a glowing success with proceeds going to Tipitina�s Artist Relief Fund. Hopefully the mighty fine displaced musicians from the New Orleans area will be back in instruments, gigs and homes soon. New Orleans can�t be the city it once was without its music and it was nice to see a benefit, in the spirit of music, raise so much for something so important. Thanks to everyone who shared the stage, placed their bids in the silent auction and gave a little more as Etta Vendetta made her way through the crowd. Ms. Vendetta raised $136 all on her own with her saucy ways. Not bad sister. It�s Over, The Gaslights, The Afterparty, Anvil Chorus, Roman Numerals you rocked and made the cash flow all that much more quickly and easily.
