More trial music: Greg Trooper’s Perfect World, also from his Noises in the Hallway
CD.
Best line ever: “I’m not the prince of darkness; tonight I am its king.”
Buy the album. Then buy every other Greg Trooper album. Then buy everything by Slaid Cleaves and Eric Taylor. Impossible to go wrong with these singer-songwriters. They’re the sole practitioners of the music business.

About The Author
Mark Bennett got his letter of marque from the Supreme Court of Texas in May 1995. He is famous for having no sense of humor when it comes to totalitarianism.
I’ll check it out. I’m a Slaid Cleaves fan already but hadn’t heard of the other two. A lot of my favorite artists come out of Houston: Lucinda Williams and Steve Earle. Too bad you couldn’t make it to Dallas- It was great.
This week, I’ve been listening to a new disk by Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Band — with vocals and guitar by Willie Nelson. They seem an unlikely grouping, but the disk is fantastic.
Houston is a live music ghetto. It is pretty depressing how many great artists play in Austin, Dallas and San Antonio, but completely bypass Houston.
I’m still urging everyone I can to do their Christmas shopping through New Orleans E-Tailers. Too late to help now though.
