Aubrey Slackey & the Slackey Family Band‏ - Mean Eyed Cat, Austin TX - August 23, 2010


[from Austin TX] we were immediately biased by one of the band member’s girl friends who informed us the musicians were accompanying the singer in hopes of saving a sorry performance – according to her, the musicians play with several local bands and are well respected (which seemed reasonable given the performance), while the singer gets around but not with a lot of respect, kind of like some girls we know – unfortunately, this reminded me that his myspace page quoted a review that said “these guys aren’t bad” and then tried to say that the reviewer is hard to please… best not list that review - he wasn’t awful by any means but he didn’t really redeem his reputation by only playing covers, and pretty obvious covers at that (Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, etc.) – if he were your friend and you didn’t live in Austin, you’d think he was great (Photo courtesy of https://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/food/2013-10-25/the-mean-eyed-cat-lives-on/)
