35 seasons, 35 years of happy music fans. Is there a better show to stumble upon late night? Especially if you can find it in HD. The show has too many highlights to name, so let’s just get into the meat and potatoes and look at who is going to be on this godsend of a program.
Here is the broadcast schedule for Austin City Limits’ 35th Season:
October 3: Dave Matthews Band
October 10: Ben Harper and Relentless7
October 17: Kenny Chesney
October 24: Andrew Bird / St. Vincent
October 31: M. Ward / Okkervil River
November 7: Elvis Costello / Band of Heathens
November 14: Willie Nelson & Asleep at the Wheel
November 21: Pearl Jam
January 9, 2010: Allen Toussaint
January 16, 2010: Mos Def / K’Naan
January 23, 2010: TBD / Heartless Bastards
January 30, 2010: Steve Earle / Kris Kristofferson
February 6, 2010: Them Crooked Vultures
February 13, 2010: Madeleine Peyroux / Esperanza Spaldin
Some quick notes. 1) Let’s all skip Kenny Chesney. 2) Allen Toussaint is going to be great. I will co-sign as I saw him at Bonnaroo. If you don’t know him, check him out. He’s on a New Orleans funk/soul/r&b kick. 3) Mos Def/K’naan are first hip hop artists to ever appear on the show. What took so long?
Two songs go in, one comes out. Pick a side.
Columbus Short Would be an excellent match for Sam Cooke (especially if this movie was to include Sam’s Soul Stirrer years). Just as long as in the movie Sam does the singing of course lol. But as far as physical resemblance my boy Columbus Short all the way. View this clip of Cadillac Records were he played lil walter… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmxTbcnW6bY

Oops meant Aloe Blacc not Black. Sorry about the typo. If you doubt that he should play Sam check him out here on you tube singing Loving you is Killing me. The likeness is uncanny - but the voice is quite different.

I have read the Peter Guralnick book and it is thoroughly researched down to the minutest detail. Amazing.
I would go for Aloe Black because he looks so much like Sam, but for heaven’s sake why are we talking about the quality of the actor’s singing? Sam’s singing has got to be dubbed in. We want the real thing not an impersonator. There is only one Sam Cooke. The actor can act, let Sam do the songs.

John Boutte should play Sam Cooke. Except the point someone made about him dying young, this is true. Boutte may be a bit too old.

Blacks say the word 50+ times a day. Fuck the double standard, stop trying to create controversy.

Me and about a million other people will be watching Kenny Chesney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will spip all the rest except Willie and Dave Matthews
Well then enjoy your Kenny Chesney.
I too will only be watching Kenny Chesney, Dave Matthews and Willie Nelson. I have no need for the likes of Andrew Bird, M. Ward, St, Vincent, Elvis Costello, Mos Def, or any of them other hacks!
just because Elvis Costello is first half hour, do NOT miss the second half hour on NOV 7… The Band of Heathens are incredible. Even Josh and Trease will love them.
How do I get advanced tickets to a show?
Kenny is one of the best live concerts I have ever seen!!!! That is why I follow him around the country many times throughout the summer!!!! “The Sun and the Sand and a Drink in my Hand!!!!!!! Oh yeah and also with No Shoes, No Shirt, and No Problems!!!!!!!
