Woody Pines, Tradfest, Traverse

A very different line up to the last time I saw Woody with a very different feel to it, despite the material being much the same.  The man himself on guitar and vocals, plus a double bassist and a reeds man on clarinet and sax.  Woody himself remains an excellent front man, an always engaging and engaged personality, enthusiasm and his very own singing style.  But somehow the line up never quite gelled as that one of a couple of years ago.  The songs are still enjoyable though, and his mix of old time and modern numbers shows a real feel for the music of the Woody Guthrie tradition.  Always worth a look.
