"He's A Hometown Guy Who Made It"

A review of last weekend's free concert by longtime NRBQ guitar giant Big Al Anderson and The Balls in Al's hometown of Windsor CT. It was in celebration of Windsor's 375th birthday.

After leaving the 'Q, Al moved to Music City, where he started writing hit songs for people like Vince Gill, Leann Rimes, and Tim McGraw. Last time I saw him "live" was 4 years ago, at the NRBQ 35th Anniversary Reunion concert. Next year is #40!
