Kevin Morby @ Third Man Records, Nashville

Recently I travelled to the US for two weeks. College Football was the main agenda but I managed to squeeze in quite a few concerts starting with Kevin Morby in Nashville. I have been very lucky to see Kevin Morby a few times now. In Australia, Belgium and also the USA. This year he released his latest album in the shape of 'Oh My God'. Soon followed a full band tour. But this show was part of a duo tour. Firstly he was touring with the wonderful William Tyler. Tyler was great. He is quite simply and extraordinary guitarist. Then Kevin played a stripped back show with his band member Cochemea Gastleum, a wonderful saxophonist.

The venue was Third Man Records, owned by Jack White. It's really a special place. Part record store, part museum, part concert venue and recording studio. Kevin played in what is called The Blue Room, a lovely space with great acoustics. He naturally a good chunk from his wonderful new album. Favourite songs were 'Hail Mary' and 'Piss River'. Kevin is such a beautiful performer. Songs are so generous and warm. Kudos to the crowd too. Extremly attentive with great respect for the artist. The encore was very special too with William Tyler joining Kevin for a rendition of the Silver Jews classic in 'Random Rules'. A tribute to the sadly departed David Berman. A beautiful end to a great night.
