Lucky Toblin Band at Broken Spoke
Lucky Toblin Band at Broken Spoke
If you go to the website of this band you’ll read the following:
This dynamic band features an all-star cast of Texas musicians, led by singer/songwriter Lucky Tomblin, that takes the listener on a musical tour of the Lone Star State, where honky-tonk, western swing, blues, rock 'n' roll, Tex-Mex, blue-eyed soul and traditional country music get together for one big Texas celebration! Former San Antonio-based Lucky Tomblin was a regional favorite early in his career and a compadre of Doug Sahm, having opened for the late Sir Douglas on one of his Last Real Texas Blues Band tours.
The rest of the players in the band reads like a "who's who" of Austin's A-list and includes pianist Earl Poole Ball (Johnny Cash, Gram Parsons, Buck Owens, Byrds), guitarist Redd Volkaert (Merle Haggard, Dale Watson, Ray Price), guitarist John X. Reed (Doug Sahm, Marcia Ball, Lucinda Williams, Kenneth Threadgill) and bassist Sarah Brown (Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, Dr. John, Billy Bragg). Play this one loud and throw some sawdust on the floor !
And I Guess that just says it all.
I have enjoyed the show and I would like to thank mr. & mrs .Bobby Lueders for inviting me to their table for the evening.
