[While reorganizing recently, I discovered that I've recorded Bloodkin about 50 times.  I've failed to mention until now that Bloodkin have a permanent collection hosted on Internet Archive; many of those 50 are included there, as well as a number of shows recorded by others.  Check it out.]

This set opening for Drive-By Truckers last week is notable for sit-ins by John Neff (on electric sitar?!?) and Todd McBride (Dashboard Saviors).  Todd was a member of The La Di Das along with Vic Chesnutt and here sings a La Di Das song in tribute.
