North Carolina's leading men of Ya'llternative jamming, Ryan Adams, Chip Robinson, and Kenny Roby, assembled a weekend lineup that rivals the best live performances I've seen this year. Held in a small local venue in Raleigh, the gig was touted as 'An Evening w/ Ryan Adams and Friends', and was held with little fanfare or promotion. Still the die hards arrived on Thursday night, and with surprising word-of-mouth response Friday night's performance garnered a substantial crowd.
The show opened with a Chip Robinson (lead man of the Backsliders) solo set, showcasing his trademark growl and vicious guitar licks. A known menace to garden-variety strings, Chip managed a fairly restrained set of low-key songs until 'Angelita' found the tension too much to bear - Robinson hopped off the stage and grabbed the nearest acoustic, pounding the guitar in the middle of the crowd, much to the audience's delight. The house of 100+ gathered around Robinson closer still as he slowed to the song's soft transition, then howled in delight as he ripped back into the song's refrain. At its conclusion, a yank of the broken strings and a nod to the crowd marked the end of the set.
After a 10-minute break, Roby (former lead of 6 String Drag) followed with another solo set, continuing Robinson's impromptu song selection. Another low-key set of intimate songs was the result, a sincere performance that highlighted Roby's sense of humor, a blend of honky-tonk and spur-of-the-moment improvisation. The set's highpoint was found in his duets with Caitlin Cary (of Whiskeytown), a violin and acoustic guitar blend that beautifully staged the vocal talents of each performer.
Finally, Ryan Adams of Whiskeytown took the stage as the evening's headliner, commanding total attention from the audience. Remarkably, with Adams first song he silenced even the typical loudmouth patrons that are always present around the bar. With candles around the dimly lit room, the surroundings created a surreal stage for the songwriter's talent as he introduced his newest material to the audience, at times even reading from his songbook. After these new songs, fellow band member Caitlin Cary again came onstage, performing an old Whiskeytown classic 'Dancing with the Women at the Bar', before taking requests from the audience. The evening concluded in grand style as all four performers, Adams, Robinson, Roby, and Cary all performed a 4 song set comprised of a special request ('Blue Windows') and one song written from each artist. The set ended, each performer left the stage, but the crowd remained - minutes later, Adams returned by himself and ended the evening with a solo, one-song encore, 'Avenues'. A magical ending to a special night...

Excellent recording of an early Ryan Adams show. His voice is at it's briliant best in this intimate, acoustic show. Good to hear Caitlin Cary duet with him on a couple of tracks.
