American Rock Notebook: Seger audio interview

New album from Bob Seger coming September 12th. Tour too, if Bob thinks rehearsals go well. First single "Wait for Me" is getting country(!) radio play. Here is 13-minute interview from Bob on Detroit classic rock station WCSX.

Johnny Cash's American V disc was the #1 album on the Billboard chart in the first week of release last week (second week of July)...sold 88,000 copies. Cash- appreciated, but not fully respected until it was too late. His final single released while he was still living ("Hurt") hit #58 on the country chart when it was released, and then dropped off. Now radio is playing some of his new stuff. Fine. Should have been all along, instead of a Jessica Andrews song. Or in-addition-to would have been fine with me.

Todd Snider is at Broad Ripple's Street Fest on July 22nd...set from 8:30p-10p. The Elms, the Seymour band who have a marvelous new release on major label Universal South called "The Chess Hotel", play a 5:30 set.

Much love from the Rusty Bladen band coming soon...check out the schedule page at rustybladen.com. Band shows abound in August and September, in addition to the solo gigs. And back in Seymour for the WJAA Bustock in August too.
