The Wily Filipino

Today, Part 2.

Or Sunday, rather. Saw the following folks on Day #2 of the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival:

- the first half of Eliza Gilkyson's set
- The Be Good Tanyas (excellent)
- Th' Legendary Shack Shakers (awesome spastic rockabilly hardcore)
- the second half of Rykarda Parasol's set (exploring the blues dirge / murder ballad / goth connection -- with great clothes too, like they stepped out of Dame Darcy's Meatcake comic book)
- the first half of Guy Clark's set
- the second half of J.D. Crowe and The New South's set

- Laura Cantrell (yes, my current musician crush. Oddly sparsely attended, so I snuck off near the front row again. Excellent, like the last time I saw her)
- the first half of Dolly Parton's set (!) (I could barely see -- though I caught glimpses of her in a bright powder-blue suit and a similarly-colored rhinestone-studded guitar -- but you can't beat the opening combo of "9 to 5" / "Jolene" / "Crimson and Clover" / "Me and Bobby McGee" / "My Tennessee Mountain Home" / "Coat of Many Colors." And she was funny too -- the hundreds of people at her stage were eating out of her hand...)
- the first half of Emmylou Harris's set (played with Buddy Miller! I was drinking Miller Lites with Special K and 40 though, so I wasn't paying much attention)
