Well-deserved accolades for Tim O'Brien

Congrats to Tim O'Brien for winning to the Male Vocalist of the Year" and "Song of the Year" from the International Bluegrass Music Association on Thursday.

O'Brien won "Song of the Year" for "Look Down That Lonesome Road" from Fiddler's Green.

Visit his Web site. He's got a body of work that's been consistently good since his Hot Rize days in the late '70s and early '80s at least.

Looks like he'll be playing a few reunion shows next week in Nashville, Cincinnati, and Boulder. Now that'd be good. Np KnoxVegas stops on the horizon. If you've never heard him, here's a link to an mp3 from his Web site, "You Are My Flower" recorded May 19, 2005 at the Belcourt Theatre in Nashville.
