The Kansas City Star “There’s (listening) gold in these discs”
January 18th, 2007 at 7:04pmThey may not be chartbusters, but these soon-to-come CDs are sound winners.
Elana James, “Elana James” (Snarf Records)
Around here, folks know her as Elana Fremerman, the fiddler in the now-defunct Hot Club of Cowtown. When that band imploded unexpectedly, she toured with Dylan for a while, contemplated a future outside music, then gathered some friends and ringers in Austin – including Johnny Gimble on fiddle/mandolin – and made this appealing record. The 13 songs include several originals and covers of Dylan (“One More Night”) and Duke Ellington/Billy Strayhorn (“I Don’t Mind”). The fiddle is still her forte, but her songwriting and vocals are gaining on it rapidly. (Feb. 27)

This group is “top notch”. You should see them if you can.
Had a wonderful show in my Mom's honor on Monday night at the Ark. Thanks so much to all of you who were there with us. Here's an update about it and the gofundme update as well, in plain text, without redactions.

God I loathe Ann Arbor. And I don’t understand why he’s fighting to keep control of a dog he wants nothing to do with. This whole thing is so puzzling to me.
Tonight, Monday, August 3rd @ 8 PM--We're (Hot Club of Cowtown) so looking forward to being back at the Ark in Ann Arbor tonight. This show is dedicated to my Mom, Susan Hammerton, an Ann Arbor resident for more than 30 years who never missed any of our Ann Arbor shows. Tonight will be a regular Hot Club of Cowtown show, but with my Mom highlighted in her beautiful spirit, and also a thank you to all those who have stepped in to help and support me and her memory and wishes since she passed almost two years ago. And that includes so many of you who may be seeing this but can't make it. I'm also updating the gofundme today so if you'd like more information on what's been happening (or not happening) lately with her case and her dog, Isabelle, I'll share that later this afternoon. Link to show in first comment.

Hmm. Maybe I can make the trek down there.
