ROB SEZ: Eric “Roscoe” Ambel is a friend of The dB’s, and a multi-talented singer, songwriter, band leader & producer. He’s best known as a leader of The Del Lords (recently re-formed) and early member of The Bottle Rockets. He also led the lesser-known Roscoe’s Gang and was a member of the would-be Americana supergroup The Yayhoos. Our own Will Rigby plays drums for the Roscoe’s Gang set. Enjoy!

Roscoe's Gang - NYC 1989

Lone Star Café

New York, NY

February 4, 1989

(early set)

audience recording (sound quality VG; transfer from 2^nd-gen. tape)

THANKS to the taper and original uploader, whoever you might be!

REPERCUSSION: The show includes the Peter H song “Next to the Last Waltz” (marginally co-written by Eric Ambel, as he says here). Also, Peter was a guest musician on several tracks on Eric’s 1988 album Roscoe’s Gang. Will Rigby played tambourine on the album and drums on some of the group’s live appearances (but not this one). If you ask real nicely, I might post one with Will some time…

A worthy addition to any musical collection — CD, LP, cassette, 8-track, etc.
