One can imagine that they will probably be acoustic dates, but if they ended up to be full album performances of Human’s Lib and Dream Into Action (similar […]
More Owsley.
I’d like to share a few additional bits of information that I came across regarding Will Owsley since my initial post yesterday.

What you need.
It’s morning time. I wake up, surf a bit through the new posts in my Google Reader, and notice a new post from Slicing Up Eyeballs (those guys again!) regarding a new INXS greatest hits compilation. Now, while I would normally tune out and move on, I have to read it, because I’m a crazy […]
