Vintage V-Roys vids

As you guys know, I'm a huge V-Roys fan from way back. Matter fact I was telling someone the other day that I bet I played "Just Add Ice" more in the 90's than any other album and it remains one of my favorite albums to this day.  So when I found these vintage V-Roys clips on youtube (posted by Scott Miller no less) I about shit a cinderblock.  Check them out, you got Mary, and the most interesting to me (because it's never made it's way to an album) is the Cold Cruel World clip.

While I don't know if the V-Roys will ever get back together (I wish they would), fans in East Tennessee can get the next best thing as Scott and Mic will be playing a one of their legendary New Years Eve shows at the Bijou Theater in Knoxville. Coincidentally, the same night Virginia Tech plays Tennessee....bring it Scott!!!

The V-Roys - Live In Austin 1998

Been diggin' on this boot for the last few days. As most of you know I'm a big fan of these guys right here, and this is an audio capture of them at the top of their game. If there are any Scott Miller fans out there that don't know, this was his band prior to going solo. They were the first band on Steve Earle's label E-Squared (whatever happened to that label?). This is good sound, good show. They play just about every song off both their albums, a Replacements cover, a V-Roys version of Scott's "I Ain't Coming Home Tonight" and one song (Can't Shake Knoxville) that has still yet to make an official album.

Steve Earle & The V-Roys - Johnny Too Bad (Video)

Now see, this is how you mix country and reggae. Not that aweful Willie Nelson album....what the hell was he smokin....oh wait.

The V-Roys - Are You Through Yet?

This was the V-Roy's farewell album, the aptly titled "Are You Through Yet?".
Now I am a huge Scott Miller fan and this album does not disappoint. Some of my favorite tracks off this one are the superb covers: Neil Young's "Motion Pictures", The Replacements' "IOU", The La's "There She Goes", and Louden Wainwright's "Out of this World". This album is also a great overview of The V-Roys, one of my favorite bands.
