(El Toro) 14 tracksA couple years ago, I was touring in Europe
whenwe played a really unusual gig. We had been toldwewould
beplaying inmalmo,Sweden—aprettybigcity—butwhenwegot
to the gig, it was on a farman hour or more outside of town. This
was themiddle of nowhere! the placewas called “The Barn” and
they had concerts there with a band playing on an old flatbed
truck. The owneralso owned a herdof American Buffalo thathe
keptinthenextfieldover.Therewerevarious industrialandfarm
vehicles everywhere, and we were shown an oldschool bus whe-
re we were supposed to sleep. Wow, this was the country, man!
andwhenthesunwentdown,alltheseSwedishhillbilliesstarted
showingup.Itwas inthissettingthat Ifirstsawanamazingband
who opened up for us that night. They were called “The Country
Side Of harmonica Sam.”Wow! They were amazing! They totally
knocked me out.
