Kings
10/1/2011
Local classic country purveyors Tonk decided to make an appearance at Kings, and who was I to stay at home and miss that? After a night of watching football and eating cheeseburgers with friends, it was the best way to end the night. As per usual they played a wide swath of classic country songs, some known and others not. A couple of the highlights were "Be Real" by Sir Douglas Quintet and Nick Lowe's "Lately I've Let Things Slide". Yeah the Nick Lowe song isn't country but it is awesome so who cares. I know there was a Gary Stewart song played too but my mind fails me on what it was. There were also a couple of original tracks, with the comically titled "She Likes To Love Me Early and Often" standing out in my hazy brain. There were quite a few audience members dancing, and i don't mean rock show bobbing-your-head dancing like I've perfected - real dancing, couples dancing. I don't do that kind of dancing, but appreciate their enthusiasm. In the event it wasn't already obvious - Tonk were awesome. If you have any love at all for classic country, you'd be a fool not to go see them live.
