Above, Kurt Wagner of Lambchop hops into a Black Cab for a stunning take on Bob Dylan’s “You’re A Big Girl Now.”

Lately I’ve had Lambchop’s OH (Ohio) on heavy rotation. In fact, it’s made such an impression it may find a place on our year end list. While I’ve owned and have been exposed to bits and pieces of their (read Kurt Wagner et all) back catalog, this is the first release that’s really drawn me in with any staying power. As a result I tracked down Kurt Wagner’s tour-only release, Kurt as well as a live covers collection under the Lambchop moniker entitled Rainer On My Parade.

Sunday’s Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel profiled the Pabst & Riverside Theaters + Turner Hall Ballroom, where I work. It also provides a pretty nice audio slideshow that proves a worthy watch/listen.
