I saw Ian McLagan & the Bump Band on Letterman tonight. Anybody else catch it?
He sang Never Say Never, the title track from his latest CD, Patty Griffin did backing vocals. I had not heard it before, and I may be wrong, but it sure sounded like it was written to his wife Kim, who was killed in an auto accident in suburban Austin about 3 years ago. Sounded heart-wrenching.
Mark Andes was not on bass, although he apparently toured with the band earlier this year. Ian's website says the new bassist is Ronnie Johnson, who also plays with James McMurtry.
