I got to spend some time with Antsy McClain on Saturday doing some publicity photos and I got to hear Antsy and the Trailer Park Troubadours play later that night at a private event. It was a great show full of energy, laughs and outstanding music. They even got Eddie Mattingly up on stage shaking his, uh.....well....shaker.
All Troub fans like me are anxiously awaiting the release of a new CD due out soon, but if you have never seen Antsy McClain live, you are missing one great show! It's hard to describe the energy generated on stage when songs like "Trailer Park in Heaven", "Havin' a Good Time Tonight" or "Folkabilly Shuffle" are rockin the house. But then he can tug on your heart strings just moments later with songs like "Falling in Love in America", "Primer Gray Impala" or my favorite tear jerker "Wreck of the Bookmobile". Antsy tours heavily on the west coast and is building a great fan base back here in the east. He does a yearly fan cruise and even had a European tour earlier this year. Check out his website, find a concert near you, slick back your hair and put on your best polyester and get out there and see Antsy McClain and the Trailer Park Troubadours. It's one Fabulous show!
