The show featured a great mix of both old and new songs, even going way back for the title track from his debut record, Dressed Up Like Nebraska. The set list started off quite similar to the previous day’s warm up but Sunday night’s execution was precise and flawless. The first hour was broadcast live on WRLT-FM Lightning 100’s long-standing weekly concert series, Nashville Sunday Night. The next night, Rouse and crew headed downtown for the Third and Lindsley show. Two new faces from Spain rounded out the band: Xema Fuertes had a flair for laying down slick pop licks on his electric guitar and Cayo Bellveser played a strong rock-steady bass. Old Nashville friend Marc Pisapia (Joe Marc’s Brother) held down the drums while also providing some nice backing vocals. The mini-set featured five new songs and closed with two familiar ones: “Winter in the Hamptons” and “Love Vibration.” The latter was a great set closer livening up the crowd of a hundred or so.Īs always, Rouse assembled another fine band to accompany him.

Despite some missed cues, sound blips and guitar tuning, it was a great free preview of what was ahead at Third and Lindsley the following night. Playing so early in the day without much of a sound check, Rouse’s performance wasn’t his best. In his introduction, owner Mike Grimes speculated that Josh may have performed Grimey’s first in-store ever at their original Berry Hill location. One was a seven-inch pressing of Josh’s latest single, “Julie (Come out of the Rain),” featuring what we used to call a non-LP B-side back in the days before downloads. Earlier, several hundred of us waited on line for hours to buy special limited edition vinyl releases. This was a part of the sixth annual Record Store Day festivities, the worldwide record collector geek fest. His Saturday stop was a 30-minute outdoor set in Grimey’s parking lot. The native Nebraskan, currently living in Spain, returned to his one-time residence for two weekend appearances. I once said to Josh Rouse “You are my favorite artist younger than me.” Despite a string of recent records that weren’t totally to my liking, his latest LP, The Happiness Waltz, and his recent live Nashville appearances have reaffirmed the truth of that statement.
