On the Road With Laura Veirs, Richard Thompson, Lee "Scratch" Perry, and Son Volt

Laura Veirs

I'm out the door for the long weekend to a magical city called Spokane. I'm a longtime sucker for the drive over the mountains and through the desert. For the trip, my lady plucked a few CDs from the stack on my desk (and I tossed in a couple for good measure). Keeping us company will be:

-- Richard Thompson (a mix CD my dad mad for me in preview of Monday's show at the Showbox)
-- Laura Veirs, July Flame
-- Lee "Scratch" Perry, Repentance
-- Pete Yorn, Musicforthemorningafter
-- Eden & John's East River String Band, Some Cold Rainy Day
-- Rufus Wainwright, Milwaukee at Last
-- Son Volt, American Central Dust
