I just heard that the great WS Holland passed away. He played drums behind Cash from beginning to end. He was unbelievably kind and generous to me, just a lovely man to be around. If there's an afterlife, he's playing that train beat tonight with the man in black.

A few thoughts about WS "Fluke" Holland. I tried my best to share a few of the stories he told me about Boy Named Sue, Johnny Cash at Folsom and San Quinten, Carl Perkins, etc. Much love to everyone and RIP Fluke. youtu.be/7kRPNY6jLp4

Latest Review: Otis Gibbs - Hoosier National Otis Gibbs has released some stunning albums over the past 18 years, but this may well be his finest hour, this Hoosier deserves to be a national treasure. folkradio.co.uk/2020/10/otis-g…

A first hand account of the loose, disorganized world of Doug Sahm. It's a tale wrapped in cancelled gigs, scientific weed and baseball. I think you'll get a kick out of this one, or as Sir Doug would say, "It's a real stone groove, man." youtu.be/vetSfhr3zKQ

It was great talking with alt-country troubadour Otis Gibbs on his new album, as well as what it means for him to return to his home state after more than a decade of living in Nashville. Head over to Indianapolis Monthly for the full story: indianapolismonthly.com/arts-and-cultu…

It was an honor to catch up with Otis Gibbs before tomorrow night’s show at HI-FI | HI-FI Annex Annex. “Panhead,” from his new album “Hoosier National,” may be the best Indiana song you’ve ever heard. The @IndyStar preview: bit.ly/31zfEZP

Sorry to announce it, but there's a thunderstorm on the way,so the HiFi gig in Indianapolis is officially cancelled. You can get you tickets refunded at the venue box office. Much love to y'all and I guess we'll try this again in 2021.

Thanks, 2020. I'm sorry to report that tonight's Otis Gibbs show won't happen because of inclement weather in the forecast. But you can still listen to his "Hoosier National" album. bit.ly/31zfEZP

I'm sitting on my front porch and the entire neighborhood just emptied out into the streets cheering and laughing. I think I like my neighborhood.

Joe Hill was executed 105 years ago today. In his honor, I decided to finally tell the story of me eating his ashes. I'd never talked about this publicly until now. Much love to Billy Bragg for making it possible. youtu.be/YY0O1v07_XQ

The new Otis Gibbs album is amazing- death, heroes, confusion, hope, sons and dads, stories, choppers, and the road- he takes us on a journey we can revisit with the press of a button.

This new Otis Gibbs song "Panhead" is a ride and then some. "Throwing peace signs to the Amish, Quakers and Mennonites. Flipping the finger at politicians, preachers and other parasites."
