BURNETT VS. BURNETT

Overpaid Attention editor Bucks Burnett spent some time backstage with T Bone Burnett at the Nokia Theater in Grand Prairie, Texas on July 7th, the 24th anniversary of Bucks’ ill fated EDSTOCK concert held at the now defunct Bronco Bowl auditorium in Dallas on July 7, 1984. Bobby Plant was spotted backstage.

TOOTH OF CRIME AT LONG LONG LAST

May 13th saw the release – finally – of T Bone’s new studio album Tooth Of Crime. Originally scheduled for release in the late 1990’s, the album was abandoned, and freshly recorded this year. T Bone’s former wife Sam Phillips sings on two tracks, and one song was written with Roy Orbison shortly before he died. This is the fourth T Bone release in two years, preceeded by True False Identity, 20/20, and the Proof Through The Night reissue. Hopefully there will be no more fourteen year gaps, as was the case between Criminal Under My Own Hat and True False. Our sympathy to T Bone for the loss of his mother Hazel who died last week in Ft. Worth at the age of 96.
