Track 1 is a cover of "Dear Brother" by Hank Williams Sr., released in 1950. Chan's tendency is to rework her covers until they are an unrecognizable trickle of beautiful weirdness, and this is in full effect on "Dear Brother".
I had an epiphany this morning: On the exact day of this show, January 14, 1995, a Saturday, I went out with some "hippie" friends of mine (there was a black guy was punk too) to drink wine in a square closer to my mother's house in Sao Paulo, Brazil ... one of them played the guitar for us ... Late that night I wrote in my diary which went my first poetry book: "...Tragedy has a life of its own! And let the smell of night penetrate the nostrils of these bohemian seers, and bring them more and more to the edge of the expensive intelligence that comprehends everyone".
amazing that this whole show is up. priceless footage. i've been seeing her since 1995 and was blown away countless nights ( even when she walked after 5 songs ). that was before i saw her at hammerstein ballroom last night. for the last time. thanks but i will keep chan the way i remember her instead.
Sometime around 98, I booked a show in Baltimore for Two Dollar Guitar and took Tim & Steve out for dinner. So many intense stories from this era. There is no before anymore.
Mike Keyes It's just a Dottie's crowd in the '90s. People were more worried about hanging out and catching a buzz. Plus, Chan played there a lot, so the Atlanta scene might have taken her for granted. Of all the shows and performers I saw in Atlanta through the '90s and '00s, the only one who was able to keep the crowd quiet was Elliott Smith. Just him and his acoustic guitar, in a bar full of drinkers, and you could hear a pin drop. Even the usual noise of glass bottles going into trash cans, instead the crowd would lightly place them into the trash, just to be considerate. I always thought that was funny..
'but her label said "we don't want that"' Kinda says it all there. I can understand changing your style in the progression of time, but just because the label dictates that it is not what they want doesn't mean an old time fan can't appreciate what Chan was before her break down, and what she is now.
It truly is two separate artists too me, as in two totally different styles. I'm not trying to discredit her recent album or songs, however if she is being 'forced' into a certain style, perhaps she should consider a new label, if that's not solely her intentions.
