Jeffrey Foucault


	Saturday 15th April 2006

A rainy Easter Saturday provided the perfect setting for staying indoors and listening to some wonderful live music. Our first show of 2006 was provided by Jeffrey Foucault who was passing through the UK on route to Holland where he plays some shows to promote his new CD, Ghost Repeater.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Jeffrey play live and I’d forgotten just what a fine guitar player he is. Classy finger-picking accompanying his distinctive, hushed, weatherbeaten vocal style, tuned perfectly for the intimate acoustics of a house concert. He performed an extensive set of songs from Ghost Repeater, while not ignoring his earlier releases, three or four requests and a few covers thrown in for good measure. And very good measure it was. Accompanied only by the sound of gentle rain-fall he delivered an

enthralling performance which highlighted the strength and versatility of his song-writing. Jeffrey mentioned that he would be back in the UK in the autumn so that should be well worth looking out for.

The setlist was something like this:

Ghost Repeater
Thistledown Tears
A Place for me in Heaven (Ry Cavanaugh)
One for Sorrow
Americans in Corduroys
Dove and the Waterline
Miles from the Lightning
Crossing Mississippi

Train to Jackson
Pearl Handled Pistol
I Dream an Old Lover
Sonoras Death Row (Robert Earl Keen)
Stripping Cane
One Part Love
Mayfly
Doubletree
Northbound 35
4 and 20 Blues

Tall Grass in Old Virginny
Lovesick Blues
