The New Lost Times

an unauthorized chronicle of the New Lost City Ramblers

Tom Paley touring the USA

Tom Paley is in the United States and is doing a number of informal concerts. Little information is available. A friend of mine describes the publicity strategy for the tour as a "reverse phone tree." You call people up and ask "Is Tom Paley coming to town?" The Celestial Monochord has an article about it:

He played guitar, fiddle, and banjo with all the versatility and power you'd expect from a founder of the New Lost City Ramblers. In "Sportin' Life," he showed himself to be a very sweet, effortless blues guitarist. On "Virginia Girls" (which you may know as "West Virginia Gals" by Al Hopkins) he played dazzlingly, in an oldtime raggy waltz style, in a menacing key, on a small borrowed guitar.
