Speaking of Kerrville and this CD...

If I'm not mistaken, the cover photo was shot one afternoon last year, 
right in the middle of a "Ballad Tree." The shot is of Jack, leaning 
against the fence at the top of the hill, behind the "seats" on Chapel 
Hill....

>The
>album is Western themed, Texas almost to a T, spare
>and lean. As Jack once sang of Celtic myths he now
>wraps his muse around tales from the Southwest. The
>ballads "Bandolier" and "The Roan" come from the same
>heart as Jacks earliest writings, but with a
>decidedly Mexican flavor.
>
>Kerrville Folk Festival regulars will be thrilled to
>see Jacks tribute to them has finally been recorded.
>Known in the past as "Death in Texas" and "Did I
>Mention the Margaritas?" here its called
>"Everythings Bigger in Texas." It contains the
>classic line: "Drink too much Corona you get lime
>disease." The song was written as a tribute to Camp
>Coho/Villa Vino (the finest of all Kerrville camps)
>and their world-famous blue margaritas.
