Dave Alvin And The Guilty Ones and Sam Llanas at High Noon Saloon
Dave Alvin’s work with The Blasters remains an all-time roots-rock highlight, and his brief stint in X resulted in one of its best songs, “4th Of July.” Adding credence to the theory that Alvin has some sort of musical Midas touch is his string of solid, underappreciated solo records. His solo career—which includes collaborations with groups like the X offshoot The Knitters and his backing band The Guilty Women, which joined him on his 2009 release—finds him continuing to build on the work of heroes like Merle Haggard, John Fogerty, and Tom Waits. His latest, Eleven Eleven, reflects on life’s losses through ballads like “Black Rose Of Texas” and the blues riffing “Run Conejo Run.” The upcoming expanded edition includes “Beautiful City ’Cross The River,” which recently showed up in an episode of the decidedly badass series Justified.
