The Gourds - Lower 48 (Video from Pickathon 2007)

Just found this. Damn it looks like everyone is having a good time. What a killer show.

The Gourds/Shiny Ribs - Pickathon 2007


This is really fuckin' good. The Gourds & Gourds' side project Shiny Ribs from this past August at Pickathon 2007. Man, I'd never heard of Shiny Ribs, but apparently it's just what they are calling themselves when they do acoustic shows.....seems like it's mostly acoustic, might as well be the Gourds. Maybe it's Kevin Russell's solo project, I couldn't ever find any clear info. All I know is there is a song on here that is Kevin Russell solo called War that is so damn good. Also the Gourds have a new album out this year that is also damn good. Download this, if you like it....go buy their new album. It's called Noble Creatures.

Doug Sahm (with Augie Meyers & The Gourds) - S.D.Q. 98 (Live)

Incredibly little out of print album here. Recorded live about a year before Doug Sahm's, we find him with his trusty sidekick Augie Meyers & backed by none other than The Gourds back when they were fairly unknown. The Gourds are Sahm disciples, so they fit in perfect as his backing band. So much so that I wouldn't have known it was the Gourds had it not been on the cover. Uncle Tupelo fans might recognize one of the songs on here....that's right "Give Back The Key To My Heart" which Doug wrote & recorded in the mid 70's and sang backup on Uncle Tupelo's version.

The Gourds - Live on KUT 1-31-06



Here is a nice little set from the Gourds which features some nice discussion and some damned fine music. This is from a radio show on KUT FM in Austin, TX in support of last year's "Heavy Ornamentals" album (which is good, go get it). If your not familiar with The Gourds, they are a texas band that blends folk, tex-mex, bluegrass, and other random stuff into one yummy stew called The Gourds. They are probably most famous for their oft-mislabeled cover of Snoop Dogg's Gin & Juice....which is great, but they are so much more than that. (AND IT'S NOT A FUCKING PHISH SONG PEOPLE!!!!)
Anyway, give this a listen whether you are an established fan, a new fan, or someone who just likes good music.
