See & Do: Music: Elana James & the Hot Club of Cowtown
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008
The HOT CLUB OF COWTOWN was one of the (cough) hottest of the late great Hightone label’s roster. They parted ways for a while and fiddler James made a great solo record. Now they’re working together again, and all is right in the world. Gypsy jazz and Western swing never sounded so good. The pop-rocking Planet Riders (duet) opens the Wed., MAY 21, show. $10-$50. 8 p.m. Eddie’s Attic, 515 N. McDonough St., Decatur. 404-377-4976. www.eddiesattic.com.

It’s refreshing to hear a pretty girl from Texas singing REAL COUNTRY MUSIC again. I know, Miranda Lambert’s hot and all, but she is part of the Nashville machinery. SUNNY SWEENEY is doing her thing the way she wants to Tues., MAY 20, and the gal can wail like Loretta when she wants to. $7. 8 p.m. Smith’s Olde Bar, 1578 Piedmont Ave. 404-875-1522.
