New music from his new band was expected. What wasn't expected was a blistering two guitar attack, a drummer that wouldn't quit, a bass player who kept a somewhat funky beat and a lead singer with a voice of a angel Dave's leads where out of this world. But the encore Dylan's Highway 61 was right up there with All along the Watchtower as the best Dylan cover ever.

Dave Alvin Biography
Dave Alvin - Grammy award winning singer/songwriter/guitarist Dave Alvin started his career along side his brother, Phil, in the seminal roots rock band The Blasters that they formed together in 1979. Despite being heavily influenced by blues, r+b, rockabilly and old country music, the band became a fixture on the early 80s Los Angeles punk/alternative scene before becoming a respected national touring act. As the songwriter for the band, Dave wrote songs like Marie Marie, Long White Cadillac and Border Radio, that have become modern roots music classics covered by artists like Dwight Yoakam. Buckwheat Zydeco, Los Lobos and many others.
