Jeff Finlin Band and Will Kimbrough at The Musician, Leicester

24th October, 2001

On 24th October, 2001, I saw the Jeff Finlin Band and Will Kimbrough at The Musician in Leicester. Pat Buchanan, who had toured with Jeff earlier this year, was due to join him this time, but unfortunately he was unable to make it; So, guitarist Will Kimbrough was asked along. Will is a well respected guitarist in Nashville and has worked with a variety of musicians, including Rodney Crowell and Kim Richey (Who he toured with in 1999 as they were the supporting artistes on Raul Malo's UK tour).

Will began the night by playing a selection of tracks from his new solo album, 'This'. It is his first solo record and he recorded it last year for his own Waxy Silver Records. It was recently released in the UK with Gravity Records. Jeff Finlin's album, 'Original Fin' was also recently re-released in the UK on the Gravity Records label. Will is a wonderful guitarist and his style of music ranges from Rock/Pop to Country.

Jeff then took centre stage and played songs from his album, 'Original Fin', his second solo album, 'Highway Diaries' and also a couple of new songs from his soon to be released album, 'Somewhere South of Wonder'. The songs included, 'Eighteen Tons', 'Love and Happiness', 'Delta Down', 'Somewhere West Of Rome' and the rockin', 'Waiting on a Flood'. Everyone was having a great time and I remember one member of the audience was also dancing to 'Eighteen Tons'! Kevin Rapillo and Kevin Hornback were also amazing on drums and bass as they were when I saw them in February at The Musician
