Dang, if I didn't have me a gig tonight I would be all over going to see Hilary Sloan tonight at the finest little ice house in Montrose (the West Alabama one, naturally). They start early so maybe I'll get to see some of it before I have to load in over at Brasil. Hilary Sloan is a fine songwriter and fiddle player, and she's got a top notch band (including Ben Collis on bass, a nominee for best bassist in this year's Houston Press awards.)
