* Calexico Nom De Plume Garden Ruin Quarterstick
Dock Boggs Country Blues Country Blues: Complete Early Recordings (1927-29) Revenant Here's the song Casey Driessen covered to start the set.
Guy Clark Cold Dog Soup Cold Dog Soup Sugar Hill Fabulous to see Guy Clark at MerleFest. Sad, though, because his health is clearly not good. Made me wonder if I was seeing him for the last time... (hope not)
* Drakkar Sauna Glissade Pressee Drakkansasauna Marriage
* Storsveit Nix Noltes Daichovo Okideur Hawai Bubblecore from Iceland.... but they play traditional Eastern European music, with accordian, trombone, tuba, various percussion, etc.
Feufollet Aux Natchitoches Tout Un Beau Soir Feufollet Mighty-talented cajun band, from Lafayette, Louisiana. Their average age when this was recorded is about 20. Yet they'd played together for 9 years by then (2004). Another fab MerleFest surprise for me.
