One night at a small dance hall in Northampton, MA, we were all sitting at these little tables which everyone proceeded to move to the side of the room so the entire audience could dance--it was Joe Ely's band on stage - one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Flatlanders were a welcome progression - top of the list for takin' life with a dose of humor & for danceabilly!!!!
The Flatlanders have been called more legend than band, the country Beatles, genius, amazing, and a whole list of superlatives. You can't say anything bad about them, they're all good.
Who heard this song off the movie "leaves of grass"? Great movie, look past the buddah, nug has nothing to do with that movie... I'll stop though.. great movie and a great Fuckin song
I've been closer to bluegrass than country, and I have to ask why they're all playing a guitar. The bluegrass musicians I know would pick the best player for guitar, then the other members of the band would pick up another instrument. I guess they're more flexible that way.

A special group of guys, and a special time. The Hub City forever.
I used to see these guys regularly in lubbock in the 70's--can't get any better!!
Maybe I've lived in Austin too long, I absolutely hate country music but I love the Flatlanders.
I saw them last night in Chicago. Great performance. Severely underated.

Is that Alex Jones on lead guitar?????????
two minutes that were totally unneeded.
Much like your comment. It's called audience interaction and they don't seem to mind.
The more you talk, the less songs you have to learn!
