I have to echo Steve Gorman’s words and say “Trigger Hippy withdrawal is no joke”. I’m doing a string of duo gigs now with Keith Cotton, which are lovely and wonderful and full of musical subtleties…but I do miss the sweaty stone rock power of TH. And my TH-mates, and the sticky heat of the mid-south (does wonders for a girl’s complexion).
We are so thankful to everyone who came to the gigs last week, it was great to have you there for the birth of TH. We have lots more songs in the works, and we’re talking with the powers that be about when we can get back out and play some more. Keep your ears open and your eyes peeled for announcements. Any suggestions for songs we should cover?
Joan
Covers: Midnite Moonlite, Bohdisatva, Catfish John, Imagine, All the Day and All of the Night, & Stella Blue.
Well Joan…How about ANYthing from Relish?????? I ‘m hopeing for a ‘Sipiderweb’ or maybe a ‘Let’s just get Naked.’….’Man in a Dark Black coat’?????? Your album is STIll one of my all time favorites….and I can’t tell you how darn excited I am to be able to rock with you once again, and ESPECIALLY with the likes of…Jackie!!!!! You guys blew the roof right off the house this weekend!!!! See yall again soon!!!!

May I recommend…Every Time I Roll The Dice, by Delbert McClinton
Thanks for asking.. I would love to hear your originals with Jackie but for covers and see you at every festival and have a week long residency at Brooklyn Bowl with special guests every night!
But since you asked
.. Comin’ home, Poor Elijah, Anyday (Joan i would kill to hear you sing that), come together, get it while you can, First time I met the blues (joan you would just light this up) So now that I was real greedy do what every you guys want you sound amazing. It’s such a bummer that there is no recorded stuff available you would make it into full rotation…
Dear Miss Osborne…all i can say is i can never get enough of your vocals…and your presence…you are the real deal…i hope Trigger Hippy worls and works damn fine…
I see i am a bit late to the party…but i wanted to chime in with some suggestions for covers (since you put it out there): songs to cover:
