Marshall Crenshaw - Double Play 1991 - #2: As long time readers of So Many Roads Know, one of my favorite musicians is Marshall Crenshaw. Crenshaw is so under rated that he makes John Hiatt, whose lack of attention I have frequently mourned, look like Mr Popularity. Crenshaw was born in Detroit, MI but got his big break in New York, when he played John Lennon in the off Broadway production, Beatlemania. While in New York, he recorded Someday, Someway, a song that Robert Gordon covered and took to #76 on the Billboard charts in 1981. Crenshaw released his version the next year, which went to #36 in the charts, his only top 40 single. Crenshaw’s first 2 albums are must owns for every rock fan. Famed critic Robert Christgau summed those 2 discs up in one simple word - PERFECT. This very good audience recording captures Crensgaw on July 27, 1991, 27 years ago today. It’s not quite up to the quality standards we like to adhere to at So Many Roads, but there are so few Crenshaw recordings out there, I decided to make an exception. Just don’t want anyone to be surprised when they listen, so consider this full disclosure!

Thanks for the Marshall, my friend. The sound is more than fine for a true fan of the great "Cynical Guy". I don't thank you often enough for your remarkable kindness and generosity. Your blog is always my first stop in the morning, and most mornings are filled with delight at your offerings. Take care, my friend.

@Cks - please see 0ur policy about re-posts in the sidebar - I simply do not have time to re-post every single Marshall Crenshaw show. Please pick one or two you want and I'll do my best to get to them
Sorry. I did not realize that I had entered several requests. I will be more careful to limit them in the future.
thanks
Fair to say I WAY over-exceeded the legal limit on Marshall Crenshaw re-up requests. If you decided to block me, I'd get it. If not, I'll space out the requests in any manner you prefer. As it is, I'll quit asking for now. I blame it on my lack of self control and an irrational exuberance at finding the motherload.
@Mike - at some point in the next week or so, I plan to up all my MC shows to my mega drive as I have sveral requests for them. When I do, I'll post the link here for you
@Mike - That said, please in the future limit requests to no more than 2 per week. That's about all I can handle. Thanks
