Some great stuff from the "way back when" files popped up on the Internet this morning, courtesy Dragon Street Records owner David Dennard, who, once upon a time, helped produce Deep Ellum greats like Shallow Reign in the studio and put out the earliest Tripping Daisy releases on his label.
Wanna see a couple videos from a very young Rhett Miller's 1987 performance on Dennard's cable access show Hi-Res Diner? OK, then. Here he is, singing "Song for Truman Capote".
apparently senility is setting in....i still don't see it.
Yep. Read again.
did i somehow miss salim altogether in this post? or was he just randomly mentioned in the title? just curious.....
sweet beret and leather vest combo.
Wow, I had nearly forgotten about "gems" like "Song for Truman Capote." The excesses of youth I suppose. "Mythologies" is the thankfully out of print Rhett solo CD that came out around the period of this video. This was when Rhett was a sensitive singer songwriter, before he was a grunge rocker in the band Rhett's Exploding and an alt-country hero in Old 97's. Now if that aint a validation of evolution, I don't know what is!
