Dale Watson's new video (complete with Desperate Housewives cameo)
Dale Watson is in town this week playing a CD release show at Martyrs on May 23rd. This may be just one of the countless shows Dale performs in the Chicagoland area or it may be a bit more. See, Dale Watson stopped flitting around the edges of Johnny Cash adoration and went straight for the jugular on his new record. He recorded his new album, From The Cradle To The Grave, in Johnny's old homestead (that has since burned to the ground), his first single could be an outtake from any of the recent Johnny Cash American Recordings' CDs and in the video that accompanies the single he appears in a Cash-like Western trench coat.
I suppose you could cynically say this is merely a poor imitation, but since few do it better, and few have lived through as much tragedy as Dale has, I think you've got to cut him some slack. Either way it should be a great hard core, honky-tonk show tomorrow night. Buy Dale Watson's new record here, direct from Hyena Records.
