Clint Black with Special Guests (#2503)
In 1989-90, Black was included among a circle of highly touted "new country" artists creating an intense buzz in Nashville. His pure, honky-tonk voice and superb songwriting abilities quickly propelled him into the upper tier of country music's elite. He captured the Country Music Association Horizon Award in 1989 after his first album, Killin' Time, became a multi-platinum success. The following year Black released a triple-platinum album entitled Put Yourself in My Shoes which earned him the 1990 CMA Award for Best Male Vocalist. USA Today opined "Clint Black. You'll be hearing his name a lot. There may never have been a country performer who has created a bigger stir right out of the box. Or one placed in such a perfect position to become the next superstar." Black's career continued to rise with a succession of five platinum selling albums over the next eight years. The former Houston honky-tonker landed more than 25 top-10 hits, including 19 no. 1 hits - all of them self-penned. His star power grew to such heights, that in 1996 he earned a coveted star on the celebrated Hollywood "Walk of Fame." D'lectrified, Black's most recent album is also the first for which he earns credit as producer. Black envisioned an all-acoustic album that would reflect both traditional country as well as pop-rock music styles. "There is not a single electric instrument on the album, but you wouldn't know it unless you were told. It is, truly, totally, unplugged," says Black. USA Today' s Brian Mansfield declared that D'lectrified "is one of Black's finest hours on disc, a tip of the hat that shows just how much musical territory country's mainstream leaves unexplored." Three of the songs on D'lectrified are unplugged reinterpretations of previous hits "Burn One Down" (with Edgar Winter), "No Time To Kill" and " Something That We Do." "I really got the idea from listening to Eric Clapton's rearrangement of "Layla" to really approach the songs from a new point of view, almost as new songs," the popular singer says. "This idea of an unplugged album sort of brings up its own connotations, its own images [for the songs]." Highlights of Black's evening in the Austin City Limits spotlight include "Tail Lights," "Live and Learn," and "Been There," as well as "When I Said I Do" with his wife Lisa Hartman Black, "I'll Take Texas Anyday" with towering Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel, and a tribute to legendary country picker Chet Atkins on "Ode to Chet" with Austin guitar slinger Eric Johnson. Black found the Austin City Limits setting ideal for his first ever taped concert performance. "For me it was like a great intimate show with a wonderful audience," said the singer. "A little voice in the back of my head was saying, 'Finally, I'm on Austin City Limits.'" [56 minutes]

Shelby Lynne/Toni Price (#2603)
For more than a decade, Shelby Lynne was a talented but struggling square-peg in the round-hole-world of Nashville country music. Her enormous promise was always evident but her talent alone did not make the task of fitting in any easier. Admired and respected by her peers in the business, the five well-received records she made failed to connect with the public. About ready to toss in the towel, she retreated to her Alabama home tofigure out what to do next. Her coping skills - which included writing soul-baring songs dissecting her personal struggles - turned out to be remarkably adept. What ultimately came out of the full-contact confrontation with her own heartache and disappointment is a record that has completely transformed Lynne and rejuvenated her career. I Am Shelby Lynne, which is about as Nashville as a pair of scruffy Doc Marten's, has created the kind of buzz that makes her a shoe-in for the year's biggest comeback. During her Austin City Limits performance, Lynne relies on material from I Am to display emotions so raw - and real - you can practically scrap your knuckles on them. Doing songs such as "Gotta Get Back," " Life Is Bad," and "Leavin'," Lynne leaves little doubt she's coming from a place heartfelt and true to life. She made her Austin City Limits debut back in 1991 with her pal WillieNelson. Returning with a hit record and her career sizzling, Lynne leaves little doubt who she is today. Toni Price makes her Austin City Limits debut at a fortuitous time in her spiraling career. The reigning queen of Austin's thriving blues scene has reached the heights in her adopted home and is clearly ready to conquer the world-at-large. For more than seven years, Price has held court every Tuesday during happy hour at Austin's venerable Continental Club for what has become a musical experience that is so celebratory and affecting that one local critic described it as "a rare and precious dose of old Austin soul." Those who know it may not be able to describe it, but they will attest with fervor bordering on religious zealotry that it is a rare happening. By comparison, few road shows manage to attract the numbers and generate the energy that Price does week-in and week-out. That special vibe more than carries over during her appearance on the famous Austin City Limits stage. Price draws her material primarily from What draws them like lemmings is Price's warm and welcoming bohemian charm, and her beautiful, Bonnie Raitt-like voice. The latter, whether live or on one of her four stellar albums on Antone's Records, imbues her country-folk-blues repertoire with heart and soul. Her latest, Low Down and Up, reaches the same heights of artistic merit people have come to expect. In the words of Billboard, the album "proves once again that she's a major-league talent who deserves to be heard." [57 minutes]
Classic: Townes Van Zandt Tribute (#2604)
"Classic: A Townes Van Zandt Tribute" unites Van Zandt's friends and family for an hour-long tribute that includes performances of more than a dozen of his timeless songs. While never giving him the popular recognition that came to his peers, Van Zandt's songwriting -visceral, candid and poignant - earned him the respect of many well-known artists. The hour-long special also includes vintage footage of Van Zandt's Austin City Limits' performance recorded for the series' first season on PBS in 1976. Austin City Limits producer Terry Lickona recalled the charged atmosphere of the occasion: " Without a doubt, one of the most emotional hours in Austin City Limits history - nothing compares to the gathering of such exceptional talent, the outpouring of love, the collection of powerful songs and the magic that resulted. Townes Van Zandt in so many ways was the epitome of Texas songwriting - and in many ways the very roots of Austin City Limits itself." Recorded in December 1997, performances include Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris' duet of " Pancho and Lefty" and Nanci Griffith's rendition of "Tecumseh Valley," a song she first heard Van Zandt sing in an Austin bar more than 25 years ago. Steve Earle delivers a moving performance of "Fort Worth Blues," while Lyle Lovett sings the despairing "Lungs." Guests Peter Rowan, famed Nashville producer Jack Clement, and Van Zandt's oldest son, John Townes, also perform. The finale is a rollicking performance of "White Freight Liner," one of Van Zandt's most widely covered tunes. Born John Townes Van Zandt more than 50 years ago to a pedigreed Texas family in Ft. Worth, Van Zandt received his first guitar at age nine. By his father's wishes, he learned to play " Fraulein," a song he would sing for the rest of his life. Yet his own songwriting became his hallmark, though the voices of others carried his work to a wider audience. In the 1970s Emmylou Harris and Hoyt Axton recorded "Pancho and Lefty," a song also recorded by Bob Dylan and made famous by Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. Harris' and Don Williams' recording of Van Zandt's gentle love song, "If I Needed You, " topped the country charts in 1981. Despite sporadic recordings, erratic performances, and a ruinous lifestyle, Van Zandt and his songs earned his place in the American music pantheon and gave him the love and admiration of fans worldwide. Beginning with First Album in 1967, Van Zandt released more than a dozen albums in his 30-year career. Though his albums were released on small, poorly distributed labels, he earned his fans on the road, singing in folk clubs and juke joints across the Southwest and Europe. His final album, The Highway Kind, was released in 1997 on Sugar Hill Records. His death on New Year's Day in 1997 did not surprise his friends or his family, who were aware of his continual abuse of alcohol and drugs. Writing about a tribute at New York's Bottom Line shortly after Van Zandt's death, New York Times critic Neil Strauss noted his songs reveal an obsession with time, irreversible eternity, and the agony of wasted moments. By all accounts Van Zandt lived the heavy blues and lonesome balladry heard in his music. [57 minutes]
Lee Ann Womack/Clay Davidson (#2605)
Lee Ann Womack is fast becoming one of the biggest names in country music. Fans and critics alike are falling for her emotionally charged material and sweet soprano. The title track of her latest release, I Hope You Dance, was named song of the year at the prestigious 2000 Country Music Association Awards. The album also earned four other nominations, including one for album of the year. The highlights of Womack's Austin City Limits debut include a lively duet on "Miles of Texas" with Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel and the performance of her smash hit single "I Hope You Dance." Smoky-voiced country newcomer Clay Davidson is building a buzz in country music circles after the release of his debut album Unconditional. Full of infectious, hook-filled songs that often blur the lines between straight-on country and Southern Rock, the record marks Davidson as a talented player to keep an eye on. His Austin City Limits appearance was nothing if not a showcase for that deep, soulful voice. Davidson features songs from Unconditional - including the title cut and "I Can't Lie to Me"- both hit singles that are sure to please diehard country fans as well as those who like to see the house rock a bit. ~ [57 minutes]

Dixie Chicks (#2615)
What was a discernible industry buzz when the trio made their Austin City Limits debut back in 1998 is now an entertainment industry roar as deafening as a West Texas dust storm. The dynamic threesome from Dallas has generated a level of excitement in mainstream country that has not been felt since Garth Brooks burst upon the scene more than a decade ago. Sisters Martie Seidel and Emily Robison founded the band in Dallas in 1989, with Lubbuck-native Natalie Maines stepping in as lead singer in 1995. By decade's end, their feisty brand of twangy, traditional-instrument-fueled, girl-power-country was the biggest music story out of the entire Lone Star State since a scrawny strat-wielding kid named Stevie Ray Vaughan set the blues and rock worlds ablaze back in the '80s. Touring in support of their 1999 release Fly, the follow-up to their multi-platinum debut Wide Open Spaces, the Chicks packed arena-sized venues across the country in rock star fashion throughout most of 2000. Critics and fans by the thousands are catching "Chick Fever" and coming away testifying to the band's rare, wide-ranging appeal. The Atlanta Journal Constitution described the Chicks' magnetism as combining the "sexual energy of Elvis Presley mixed with the night-piercing screams of Robert Plant and the musical virtuosity of Earl Scruggs." The trio's exhilarating performance on Austin City Limits is a romp through just about everything off Fly, with a couple other gems tossed in to make for a truly outstanding evening of music. Highlights include the beautiful Patty Griffin-penned "Fly," the wickedly funny hit single "Goodbye Earl," and "Cowboy Take Me Home," a single that made it to the top of the country charts. The evening reaches a climax with the smash " Wide Open Spaces" from the trio's first album. The Dixie Chicks' sparkling Austin City Limits performance showcases the qualities that have resulted in their dramatic rise to the upper echelon of country music's top talent. With the unique combination of brilliant musicianship, sharp songwriting, fashionable good looks, and dynamic stage charisma, it is understandable why critics have hailed the three Texans as the shot-in-the-arm country music badly needed going into the new millennium. With the Country Music Association Award for "Entertainer of the Year" in 2000 as even further proof, these Chicks have clearly only begun to soar. [57 minutes]

Hot off of the heels of our wildly successful "Hate Bowl 2008", it's time to test the mettle of the College Football Bowl Season. Welcome to "INSIGNIFICANT BOWL 2008".
A number of posters at the Hate Bowl expressed interest in a bowl season contest. So here's my take on it. There are 34 bowls this year, meaning SIXTY-EIGHT teams received a bid to a bowl game. Now let me first say that I'm all in favor of rewarding good performance, but seriously, take a look at ANY 6-6 team and make a good argument to me that they deserve to go bowling. THAT'S rewarding extreme mediocrity. Well, that's enough of my rant. Let's get down to "bidness".
I have listed each and every bowl game below. My intent is to do this "Heisman" style. You give me (in order, worst first) the five bowl games you consider to be the most insignificant. I don't care what your criteria is. Heck, the Heisman voters don't have a criteria, why should we? Just rank 'em and spank 'em. Point totals will be 5 for first place, 4 for second, 3 for third, 2 for fourth, and a single, lousy point for fifth.
As always, we welcome your candid and humorous comments. Please, just keep 'em clean. To post your votes, just add a comment to this blog.

Things to consider before booking
Lanzarote may not have the sheer quantity of accommodation that you can find in many other Spanish resorts, and only a few large chains have a presence on the small island. However, it does have the complete range of quality options, from budget beachfront to extravagant five star, with the occasional stylish boutique and a hell of a lot in between.
• In terms of choosing where to stay, I really would recommend either opting for off the beaten track (there are some very special places in this category), or bang-on-the-beachfront. Of course, if you are really saving the pennies (although you won't save that many), go a block or two back from the beach.
• Lanzarote is small – it takes about an hour to drive end to end – so wherever you decide to base yourself, you won't have a long way to travel should you want to explore the whole island.
• One of the many wonderful aspects of Lanzarote is the vast majority of buildings that are no higher than two storeys – a fact reflected by probably about 90 percent of my accommodation choices. The island has mercifully been saved from the horrors of the rash of new builds that have blighted so many parts of Spain in the last 30 years or so.
• Many accommodation options, even those in the upper price bracket, do not have air conditioning in the bedrooms. Of course, this is a plus from the point of view of the planet, but temperatures do soar in the summer and even leaving the balcony doors open is sometimes not enough. Often hotels will rent you a fan for an extra fee, which obviously cancels out any eco points, but also often fails to really reduce the heat. If cool temperatures are important to you, check that your hotel has air conditioning throughout, or seriously consider travelling in the European winter months.
• Lanzarote hotels often have saltwater swimming pools. Now, on an island where even the drinking water is desalinated salt water, that shouldn't be surprising. And again, it is a plus for the environment. It may mean you have to shower after swimming, but it's hardly a terrible hardship, and all that salinity helps you float. That said, I have tried to point out salty swimming pool water in my choices of accommodation.
• Parking can be a bit of a pain, particularly in the sprawling resort of Puerto del Carmen, where dedicated hotel parking is a rarity.
• Internet use is usually charged extra in Lanzarote hotels, which really does seems petty and outdated, especially when the connection is often so bad and so many people, from teenagers to business people, regard it as a lifeline.
• Buffets are big in Lanzarote hotels, both for breakfast and dinner, and there are some staggeringly good value all-inclusive deals to be had, which you would be mad to turn your nose up at. Dismiss all thoughts you have harboured about all-inclusive meaning naff, poor quality food and service. It is no exaggeration to say that some of the best hotel food – in fact some of the best food, period – I have had in Lanzarote has been on all-inclusive deals, which is some statement, I admit.
The hotels I have picked are my real island favourites from every price and style category. I rate authenticity and atmosphere above flashiness and fancy facilities.
• Location is key, of course, and almost all of the hotels I have chosen are either right next to Lanzarote's lovely coastline, with easy access to the beach, or in a scenic rural area that is desirable in it's own right.
• A welcome trend in recent years has been a slow trickle of innovative, off the beaten track places that are wonderfully stylish and desirable. Let's not forget that two of Lanzarote's best features are its omnipresent ocean and dramatic volcanic landscape. It is no coincidence that two of my absolute favourite places – Finca Malvasia and Finca de Arrieta – to stay on the island make the most of the island's unique and spectacular backdrop.
• Hotels do – as they should – get points for their eco credentials and value for money as much as for being generally gorgeous or having a spectacular spa.
I would love to hear your comments about my choices! It may be that I have missed something that you value as important, or that you think I have got it completely wrong. Hopefully, you have tried out my recommendations and had a delightful holiday as a result. Either way please let me know. I have stayed in many of Lanzarote's hotels and apartments in the name of both work and pleasure, and am constantly on the look out for new options. Things do change and these recommendations will be updated regularly.

Detroit � The Lions exited last season lamenting the lack of big plays from their defense.
They�ll enter this season wondering more about their playmakers on offense, even after routing the New England Patriots, 40-9, at Ford Field.
Or maybe they won�t. You might have questions about this offense � and I certainly do, too � but the Lions didn�t seem overly concerned after Thursday night�s performance. Certainly not the way they were a week ago after an awful performance at Cleveland.
�I�m OK with what we did out there,� receiver Nate Burleson said. �There�s always room for improvement. But I joked about it with the guys afterward. We put up points, moved the ball, every receiver caught a pass, and LeBron (James) didn�t even suit up today.�
That would be Calvin Johnson, of course. The All-Pro receiver went through pregame warm-ups Thursday, but was inactive for a second consecutive week resting a bruised knee. And even in the exhibition season, it�s impossible to ignore his absence, because opposing defenses certainly don�t.
�Without having the full playbook in, and without having the best receiver in the world in, that changes the game,� said Burleson, who readily admits he�s no LeBron, even though he was out there running Johnson�s routes Thursday. �Not only will Calvin be a big-time target in the red zone, but most of the time he�s attracting two or three guys. There�s gonna be a lot of things that look a lot different when the big boy is out there.�
There better be, though to be fair, the offense did get another jolt from Reggie Bush, who flashed his game-changing ability with a 67-yard reception on a screen play in the first quarter. And the Lions� first-team offense finally did score a touchdown. They also played a third straight turnover-free game and led 16-3 at the half against Tom Brady and the Patriots, prompting quarterback Matthew Stafford to shrug afterward, �We�re moving in the right direction.�
But it took them 11 possessions to score their first TD this exhibition season, and it was the only one Stafford & Co. could manage on this night, despite the defense forcing four first-half turnovers.
That brings the exhibition season total to 16 possessions for the starters on offense � about five full quarters of work over three games � with only five field goals and the lone touchdown to show for it, not to mention a meager 14 first downs. Granted, 14 of those 16 drives have come without Johnson. But even coach Jim Schwartz, while echoing his quarterback and calling it �progress,� acknowledged the stalled drives are a problem.
Trying to catch on
They were a crippling problem for this team last season on its way to a 4-12 finish. The Lions scored just one first-half touchdown in the first six games of 2012. And with only the exhibition season finale at Buffalo left before the real games begin � and perhaps a couple possessions for the starters � that offensive execution will remain a question mark until the opener Sept. 8 against Minnesota.
Burleson, who missed most of last season with a broken leg, didn�t catch a pass the first two weeks of the exhibition season, and he find much separation Thursday, with one reception � a third-down catch on the opening drive � and one penalty drawn on the Patriots� Aqib Talib.
Ryan Broyles, the presumptive No. 3 wideout coming off ACL surgery, wasn�t targeted in 19 snaps in the loss at Cleveland and didn�t play in the first half against New England, spending his time riding a stationary bike. (He did catch two passes for 32 yards as the Lions� reserves dominated the second half, though.)
The tight ends resurfaced Thursday, with Brandon Pettigrew catching a few balls and Tony Scheffler making amends for an early drop with a 9-yard grab for the lone first-half touchdown. But give Bush a little credit for that one, too, as a run fake suckered Patriots linebacker Dane Fletcher and left Scheffler wide open.
That, by the way, is the kind of backfield threat he can be for the Lions, who simply didn�t have that option a year ago.
Bush finished with one net rushing yard in six carries, but he caught five passes for 103 yards, including the 67-yard scamper to beat a blitz on third-and-10 from his own 20. That�s something you�ll certainly see more of in the regular season. Teams are going to blitz the Lions and their inexperienced offensive line, but Bush can make a defense pay.
And the hope, obviously, is that the Lions� defense can make opponents pay the way it did Thursday, albeit without the idiotic personal fouls. (Taunting Tom Brady? Really?)
Defense offers spark
We got a glimpse of the starting secondary for the first time, with Louis Delmas playing a couple of series and providing a spark, teaming up with partner Glover Quin for the game�s first fumble recovery. Linebacker DeAndre Levy forced another turnover with a big open-field hit. (The Lions are a plus-6 in turnover margin this exhibition season after ranking 30th in that stat a year ago at minus-16.) And up front, this looked a lot like the 2011 exhibition game when the Lions battered Brady and, in some respects, set the tone for their season.
The Patriots gained just 17 yards on their first 11 rushing attempts, and the Lions finished the first half with a couple of sacks, five quarterback hits, three fumble recoveries (Delmas, Ziggy Ansah and Jason Jones) and Chris Houston�s interception.
�I thought our defense played lights-out today,� Bush said.
We�re still waiting for the offense to flip that switch, however.

Lakeland, Fla. -- Not even Victor Martinez could have known what Victor Martinez and the Tigers were getting when a skilled hitter and a needy team were reunited ahead of spring camp.
It wasn't blasphemy to wonder if the guy they call V-Mart might be creaky from a year layoff and a 34th birthday. Science tells us that hitters begin to lose their optimum skills at age 29. Toss five years and a shredded knee onto the Martinez actuarial and Detroit might have been stuck with a dusty version of a lustrous switch-hitter and his .303 career batting average.
But here was Martinez stepping to the plate Sunday against Phillies starter Roy Halladay. And here was Halladay a few moments later, in company with 6,243 customers at Joker Marchant Stadium, watching after Martinez sent a Halladay pitch on a 410-foot-plus rocket ride beyond the deep right-center field fence.
Martinez had two more at-bats good for a pair of sharp singles in the 10-inning, 5-5 draw. Each of his hits all but blared that a man batting .571 in three spring games is about where he was the last time he saw major league pitching, in October 2011, three months before ripping up his left knee.
"I think it's a little early," manager Jim Leyland said after the game. "I wouldn't be worried if he wasn't hitting, and I'm not jumping over the moon because he is.
"But he's swinging pretty good right now."
Martinez had pretty much the same view as he sat in front of his locker afterward.
"It's still spring training," he said as he shed his uniform, unveiling a brace wrapped around the knee. "The pitchers are working on their stuff. The hitters are working on stuff.
"But I definitely feel great. I'm very pleased. I'm doing everything pretty normal."
A huge void
Martinez spent 2012 healing from microfracture surgery on a knee that blew apart during a winter workout near his home in Orlando, Fla. He was just as busy ministering to a psyche that might have been the bigger casualty.
For a player with pride and passion, Martinez's season away from baseball was like a year in the state penitentiary. It was every bit as tough on the Tigers. They lost their No. 5 batter in Leyland's lineup, a switch-hitter whose savvy had been worth 112 RBIs in 2012. The Tigers coughed up a slew of well-pitched games in 2012 in great part because runs were abandoned that a year earlier Martinez had pushed home.
The Tigers paid a secondary price in losing Martinez. They never knew where to turn as the season got long and their frustrations rose. The White Sox were in first place. The Tigers were in a funk.
It was during those stop-and-start weeks in 2012, before they put things together in September, that you could nod to the fans' favorite term: "chemistry."
Halfway through the 2011 season, his first in Detroit, Martinez assumed a role he never sought. He was the tribal chief. The term is loose, as is "chemistry," but his leadership was pronounced.
A major addition
In essence, Martinez had become the man other Tigers players leaned against.
It was a matter of depth and style, all consecrated by Martinez's talents and his ethic. Teammates saw this seasoned, serious man as the embodiment of a professional baseball player. They did not wish to disappoint him. Tacitly, they wanted his approval.
It takes a considerable amount of soul to be that kind of player and leader. But a man and his makeup could be discerned from Friday's scene at Disney, ahead of the Tigers-Braves game.
"I ran to center field and I looked up at the sky," Martinez said, still savoring those moments during batting practice, his first game in 16 months. "I was looking to God. I said thanks for giving me the spirit to work all year long.
"It was a long, long time."
It has taken a short time — just three games in Florida — to appreciate what Martinez could mean to Leyland, his lineup, and Detroit's clubhouse in 2013. The Tigers have welcomed him back — with hugs, and with hope they don't disappoint a man they thoroughly respect.
