Rory can play the guitar better than 90% of the men out there plunkin' their way through a blues song. If you think a woman can't play some of the best blues you've ever heard, then you ain't listened to Rory Block. I first saw Rory back in 1985. I still go see her every chance I get.

     
Rory Block - Live, 27Mar09
Live at Blues Greens, Boulder Outlook Hotel.
Nice long set with some different songs from the last post. Lots of story telling if you like that, I'm a bit tired of her stories, frankly. Same stories as years ago, you would think she would get tired of them.
Despite the light crowd noise, it was a sold-out show.
