Review of the show:
Last Train to Nashville - A Tribute to Johnny Cash
“The show rocked, plain, prosaic and simple.
The same, sadly, cannot be said about the opening act, Long Time Citizen, who, with their attempt at coat-tail-riding by “Featuring Trinity of We Set Sail”, come off as rather limp. The frontman’s voice is dull and unpleasant, the lack of drums leaves the sound hollow and stage presence hovers in the vicinity of zero, despite the enigmatic bass-player. “This is a hillbilly song,” they proudly declare and launch into “Who Is Gonna Bang My Drum” – it might pass here, but in the real South they would be laughed off stage. They butcher “
Ring of Fire”, make a mockery of the country-standard “
Ghost Riders In The Sky” and I’m about to get sour at the whole tribute affair when Sixgun Gospel take the stage.”

Since the release of their debut album Baby Darling Doll Face Honey the band has been touring across the world, supporting huge acts like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Jack White’s most recent project The Dead Weather. "
What also felt really different about this show for me - and I'm grateful for this - was that all the stress actually went onto the shoulders of the production people, who really seemed to put in a lot of effort on all fronts. As far as I could tell, they erred on the side of over-planning, but that's never really a disaster.
