Dave Alvin’s Third Mind Kick Off First Ever Tour in Portland, OR, USA with Mind-expanding Psych Jams
The most telling clue that the Dave Alvin/Jimmie Gilmore concert at The Egg wasn't going to be quite as advertised by the record label Yeprock's press release was when Dave told me in our advance interview to bring earplugs.
Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore have been good friends for many years, so when they got together to make 2018's ‘Downey to Lubbock' album it was something which they both agreed was long overdue. They had played together previously but making the album persuaded them to put a full band tour together.
