New Episodes of Austin City Limits



Since I've been so busy with other things lately, I figured I'd give you a heads up to the new episodes of Austin City Limits... I have the entire last season sitting on my DVR right now because they were sooo good. I'll eventually have to find some way record those to my computer for safe keeping (when will every produced video be available online??)

This next season doesn't look quite as good, but here are the highlights...

Nov. 4: Sufjan Stevens followed by Calexico
Two of the underground rock scene’s most creative artists perform. Critical darling and indie rock sensation Sufjan Stevens brings his orchestral folk/pop to the stage in support of his latest album The Avalanche. Highlighting its latest record Garden Ruin, Arizona’s Calexico dazzles with a unique blend of traditional songcraft and Southwestern roots music.

Dec. 30: The Raconteurs followed by Cat Power
Detouring from his red-hot success with The White Stripes, Jack White’s new pop-rock collaboration with fellow Detroiter Brendan Benson, the Raconteurs, applies distinctly modern rock sensibilities to classic 60’s and 70’s influences. The quartet mixes Lennon-McCartney style harmonies with blues-power guitar and a touch of psychedelia on songs from its debut Broken Boy Soldiers. Introspective, highly acclaimed singer/songwriter Cat Power follows with a set of tunes from her Memphis soul-inflected album The Greatest.

Jan. 20, 2007: The Dixie Chicks
After a couple of years spent enjoying their family lives and weathering controversy, Texas’ mighty Dixie Chicks return to the Austin City Limits stage with old favorites and new classics from their defiant, triumphant new album Taking the Long Way.

There are also some good encore presentations from last season.
