1) Paula Nelson. She's a thirtysomething Austinite who's trying to make a name for herself as a blues-rock singer. Only she never will make a name for herself because her dad, one Willie Nelson, has already done it for her. She's got his nasal, treble-heavy voice and his static stage presence -- almost to the point of disinterest. Neither works in blues rock, especially when the music has all the fire of a stomped-out cigarette butt. Good for a celebrity party but little else. 2). Ryan Bingham. Not because he's no good -- his easygoing and svelte alt-country is gaining quality by the month -- but because even in front of the BMI Stage, his relatively stately and quiet music was utterly ruined by N.E.R.D.'s earth-moving bass tones and David Byrne's charmingly weird but effective (and loud) take on world pop. (M. Ward had the same problem on the WaMu Stage until he went full electric after his set's first few songs). 3). Slightly Stoopid. File this one under "We didn't see it because there's no point" because we've seen it before, and there's no point seeing it again. It's jock ska that frat punks get drunk to, and nothing more. Monkey see name, monkey be name, ya know? Archived Comments |

Thank God, we all have an opinion - Most of Austin, loves the Paula Nelson band and the fact that she doesn't "HAVE" to be compared to her dad to make fine music and write fine songs. I'd say the problem is, when this kind of review comes out, it's because she is being compared to her dad!
I couldn't disagree more with the writer, his reviews, opinions and writing style seem slightly stoopid.
I LOVE PaulaNelson and her Band! They are really awesome and i think her sound is really bluesy and i would go see her every chance i get!and i do go see her every chance i get! Poo Poo on that goofy dude who has no clue whats good!!!!
Absolutely loathed Mars Volta. Here's my problem with them: It's obvious they know how to rock, but they just don't know when to say when. They could easily melt your face in under 3 minutes, but why oh why do they feel the need to drag far past the breaking point? They're the Saturday Night Live of rock.
