New Music: California Guitar Trio [ft. Bonnie "Prince" Billy]: "Freebird" (live at The 930 Listening Room, Louisville)
Two nights ago, the California Guitar Trio-- three international acoustic virtuosos who met while touring with Robert Fripp, who blend folk, blues, jazz, and various rock sounds, and whose repertoire includes covers of everything from Beethoven to "Classical Gas"-- performed at the Listening Room at Louisville's 930 Art Center (MySpace). In attendance was Will Oldham aka Bonnie "Prince" Billy. The CGT closed their set with a reggae-esque version of Lynryd Sknyrd's "Freebird" and welcomed Bonnie onto the stage to sing it. We're not sure if this was spontaneous or not. Enjoy!
