Summary |
Half a lifetime ago, that is half the age he is now, Mick Thomas and his fabled outfit Weddings Parties Anything recorded their watershed 1989 album The Big Don’t Argue in Memphis, Tennessee. It was an edifying experience that has carried with him since. Much water has passed under the bridge since then, in fact half a lifetime of water which has seen Thomas, in musical guises both solo and with others, become one of the country’s most beloved folk balladeers. Now a half-life later, Mick Thomas has returned to Memphis with his latest ensemble The Roving Commission, which includes former Weddo and long-time collaborator Mark “Squeezebox Wally” Wallace, along with Ben Franz and Dave Foley. |
