John Deaderick - keys

An evening of fantastic originals; the entirety of "Now What!" (with the exception of "I'm Too Old To Feel That Way Now"), select cuts from Mr.Womack's  "There, I Said It!" album and  a version of Daddy's "Vicky Smith Blues". In addition, Ms. Oliver-Gray delivered the goods on the Womack-Littlefield  "Everybody Wants To Be Loved" from her "Dedicated to Love" album.

A true rock n roll connoisseur, Womack paid tribute to his influences, with passionate readings of the Kink's "Berkeley Mews", the Stones' "When The Whip Comes Down" ( son Nathan on the drums) and featured guitarist Mark Robinson on the classic "SleepWalk".

A riveting show by a brutally honest songwriter with a wicked sense of humor and a heart of gold.

FIVE STARS!
