I Ain’t Got No Gigs

01.14.08 | Comment?

I’m entranced by Lucinda Williams again today; this morning it’s Happy Woman Blues.  There are other plates on the musical menu, however.  I downloaded a two-song e.p. just released by The Accused on their website.  As reluctant as I am to imagine the band without Blaine Cook, the new singer sounds sufficiently like him that it’s not a jarring change.  There’s also a download of a recent live performance from the Netherlands available on the site, and listening to it makes me look forward to their next appearance in Stumptown.  It’s not as if there isn’t precedent for a band losing a founding figure and forging on.  Of course it’s rare that the result has the relevance of the former iteration, but one adjusts one’s expectations to circumstances.
