Josiah and the Bonnevilles

Elizabeth Cook's show at the Birchmere in Alexandria was first rate. Her three-piece backing band was tight and featured Derek Green, the producer of her latest album, on guitar and backing vocals. She sang most of the tracks from Exodus to Venus, including Methadone Blues coupled with My Heroin Addict Sister. My personal favorites were two covers, the Velvet Underground's Pale Blue Eyes and J.J. Cale's Magnolia.
