Veteran San Diego musician and photographer Dave Doyle was on the scene Jan. 21 when the legendary Nashville Ramblers visited the Til-Two Club on El Cajon Blvd. to celebrate the pending release of their classic “The Trains.” Here’s his report:
“The Nashville Ramblers hit the stage Friday night, last exuding their honest, youthful charm as if I were standing in Bodie’s or Winston’s back in ’86.
“Despite the fact they are all older and live in different parts of the country, they are all consummate musicians and still perform regularly; their consistency should come as no surprise to the observant listener.
“Something that did strike me was how not loud they were, which as a sometimes-musician I find nice on my ears. (Bassist Tom Ward and guitarist Carl Rusk must have had all of about 125 watts between ‘em!) The floor was packed with old friends and fans who watched rapt as the band proved again why it’s kept the beat for more than 25 years.”
There’s lots of video of this gig up on YouTube … Here are a couple of cuts:
I’m so glad you caught video of this (Dave D.?). I wanted to go. It’s very cool to see a recording of it. I hope I’ll see you all next time (tour?).
Six thumbs up
