It was a long-ass time ago and I don't think I knew you well enough to ask such favours! (I certainly wasn't about to order shoes to your house without asking first 😂)
Chris has been doing live streams on instagram, and seems to be willing to attempt songs by JU and any of his other projects. He even said to DM him with requests.
He played one by Jackson and one from the first Dead Peasants record today.
Fun fact: I hung out with those guys when they toured Brazil, they played in a small town that my friend affectionately called “the land without law” to Chris who loved it, mentioned it in all interviews and ended up naming a song on Harmony and Dissidence as, you guessed it, The Land Without Law. In which he chronicles the adventures of playing at a small town in another country, at a terrible venue with malfunctioning equipment and unprepared crew.
the Cesar mentioned in the lyrics is our friend, the producer who was the saint making sure everything happened despite all the issues and basically the babysitter to everyone involved, not surprisingly “hey Cesar” was the phrase uttered the most during the whole thing.
He played Get Along, it was either the first or second one he did on his own instagram. I also absolutely love the first Dead Peasants record so it was cool to hear.
Jackson United were awesome! It was a shame that they disbanded. Loved Western Ballads and Harmony & Dissidence. Did anyone catch them live? I managed to see them in the small Water Rats venue in London in 2008. They slayed!
Scott never toured with them did he? He was on all the recorded stuff they released though. I would love them to do another album. I still look for the Aussie version of Western Ballads on eBay every now and then as I want them extra tracks.
Yeah I’d like that too. He did a couple of the oldies on the live streams didn’t he… so maybe when touring rolls around he’ll Chuck a couple into the set

Oh hell if I know...I don't even know how I got to work this morning. I am sure @Cassandra has a better memory of this than me.
🤷🏻♀️@Geo would know best. It was 10 years ago!
I do remember making that video though. Good times.

i'mma post it on Sunday. If I can't find it!
I should have it on YouTube. I think there’s a caper one too.
Well now I really wanna know...especially is there's video proof!!!
This is a Bside from western ballads i put on youtube 9 years ago. Its really good.
Thanks! I'd never heard this. I love Shiflett and all of his work, as well as his mindful approach to life! I'd love to be able to download the song!
Great guitar tones!
This is such a great album. My friends got it for me when I was in high school for my birthday because they knew how much I loved it

It was so amazing to hear him do those tracks 😍

Good times.
I have watched many, but missed this one. Which Dead Peasants song? I love the first DP record so much.
Any chance a file of "Don't Point Your Guns At Me" is available anywhere?

I found some ace photos from the early Jackson tours yesterday on an old hard drive.
Wow! I need to find that. That is such a terrific song.
Just messing around, but how awesome would that be?
He only said it because he knows it can't happen. Dirty tease.
Ain’t that the truth ☹️☹️

They never technically disbanded, they just haven’t done anything for like, 11 years 😏
Reckon Shiflett will have another go? 🤔
Which one? Scott or Chris?
I’m gonna assume Chris, because Scott wasn’t even in JU when they were last active.
also probably not.
Scott never toured with them did he? He was on all the recorded stuff they released though. I would love them to do another album. I still look for the Aussie version of Western Ballads on eBay every now and then as I want them extra tracks.
He definitely did tour with them. That's how I met him.
I think their cousin Charlie was the most recent bassist.
I must have missed them touring together 😔
I think he toured with them on the early tours… but it clashed with other stuff later on
I wish they'd do a tour and another record. At the very least that he'd play some of those tracks at his shows
Yeah I’d like that too. He did a couple of the oldies on the live streams didn’t he… so maybe when touring rolls around he’ll Chuck a couple into the set
I missed that. Damn 😔
