| Am I Alone in This? Bill Bottrell in the January 2001 New Settler |

stars going to Brazil and posing for cameras . . . Is that a song you only sing locally? Have you recorded it? BILL: Everything I do, I only do locally. And if there is ever a real suction out there for what I am doing, I may go for it. But I'm not going to apply my ambitions. |
I've heard Chocolate Albion done acoustically - literally Pied Pipered as you sang it in the lead of a group near-100 strong making their way down the J Road trail. And I've heard it with your Waiter-energy at the Caspar Inn, bellowed, amplified, audience going wilder. What makes you suppose there is no suction out there for a song like that - energized Woody Guthrie - post post-modern, neo-peasant Bastille? BILL: I don't think there isn't, I don't know if there is. But the evidence will have to come to me. I'm not going to go looking for it. What does it take? What is that evidence? |
