Tom Wilson, Stephen Fearing and Colin Linden — the three guys who make up Blackie and the Rodeo Kings — may look a little rough around the edges, but they’ve always had a powerful effect on women. Rosanne Cash, for example, was brought to tears when she heard Wilson’s sub-baritone version of Folsom Prison Blues at the Edmonton Folk Festival in 2006. They were nice tears, too. She liked the Blackie version of her father’s song so much she brought more members of the Cash family to see them perform at a later tour stop in Portland, Ore. (more)
Blackie & the Rodeo Kings appear at the Living Room in NYC on Tuesday, June 14.
