Review
Concert Going Partner and I enjoyed a brief respite from the Graham Parker and the Latest Clowns tour in the form of our second David Lindley concert in a week. The previous Lindley show took place on April 18 at Johnny D's in Somerville, at which show Mr. Dave made this fan happy with performances of two songs by Warren Zevon: "Seminole Bingo" and "Indifference of Heaven," as well as telling a story about Warren writing a song in his car. Today's Lindley show was at the Narrows in Fall River. We sat with a fan named Eddie who has seen David Lindley over a hundred times.
I did not keep a set list, but a few of the songs played were "Brothers Under the Bridge" (by Bruce Springsteen), "Soul of a Man" (by Blind Willie Johnson), and Lindley's own "When a Guy Gets Boobs." You can tell the range of Lindley's material just from the song titles -- from the sublime to the ridiculous. He is known mainly as a highly skilled instrumentalist who has recorded with many musicians from Warren Zevon on down, as a re-interpreter of material from other songwriters, and as a clever and witty songwriter in his own right. Oh, and for the crazy stage clothing.
