Listening to a Storyteller playlist I created a while back on an early Arizona morning today (and knowing how much you all love a list) – I compiled a Dirty Dozen outlaw storytellers I’d like to invite around the camp-fire in the soon to be opened, freshly built Tonto’s rooftop bar in our Desert Dream enclave.
Here’s my Wild Bunch:
- Bruce Springsteen
- Tom Russell
- John Prine
- Robert Earl Keen
- Bob Dylan
- Leonard Cohen
- Kris Kristofferson
- Jerry Jeff Walker
- Johnny Cash
- Townes Van Zandt
- Guy Clark
- Billy the Kid (Joel that is)
Steaks on the BBQ, cold beers and fine red wine in the bar, coyotes howling, guitars playing, pianos pumping and stories humming.
What a night that would be.
Next week I’ll have to round up a list of favourite female storytellers to give the party some zing.
Tonight we ride.
