Hi all,
Just wanted to let you know about a new Austin all-star CD for a great cause...
Big Sweet Life: The Songs of Jon Dee Graham
Willie Graham/Legg-Perthes Benefit CD/DVD
A truly amazing limited-edition two-disc set (CD and DVD), Big Sweet Life features Austin artists performing Jon Dee songs with all proceeds going to The Willie Graham/Legg Perthes Fund.
Jon Dee's son Willie has developed Legg Perthes, a rare childhood form of avascular necrosis of the hip. For reasons unknown, the head of the femur loses its blood circulation and dies. The Graham family lost insurance coverage when their insurance provider filed Chapter 11. Now Willie's condition is considered pre-existing by other companies, making him uninsurable. They may be looking at several years of treatment, physical therapy and surgery.
The CD was recorded live at the Continental Club by Oscar & Grammy-winning engineer/producer Chet Himes on June 24, when the Austin music community banded together for a benefit concert. Artists include The Resentments, Ian McLagan & the Bump Band, Steve Poltz, Bob Schneider, Alejandro Escovedo, Charlie Sexton, James McMurtry, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Matt The Electrician, The New Hot Damn (Kacy Crowley, Trish Murphy and Renee Woodward), Honky with Jon Dee, Beaver Nelson, Kathy McCarty, and Walter Tragert. The CD also features an original song by Willie Graham called "Rock 'n Roll" which was performed by Jon Dee, Scrappy Jud Newcomb, Alejandro Escovedo and Charlie Sexton.
The DVD was produced by News 8 Austin's Andy Langer and features rooftop performances on July 27 & August 3 by Patty Griffin, Ray Benson, Kelly Willis, Bruce Robison, David Garza, Darden Smith, Jud Newcomb w/ the Tosca String Quartet, Jack Ingram, Jeff Klein, Elizabeth McQueen, and Terri Hendrix & Lloyd Maines. DVD extras include performances by Jon Dee and the Resentments. Also included is Andy's 22-minute interview with Jon Dee that details the cause that brought everyone together.
