I’ve written before how working and hanging out at Ann Arbor’s Rick’s American Café from 1984-87 was hugely influential in terms of my love of live music, blues especially. I saw and interacted with many amazing acts, including Koko Talor, Son Seals, Robert Cray, Albert Collins, NRBQ, Fishbone, 10,000 Maniacs, Johnny Copeland and Buddy Guy, as well as many great local and regional acts, including Cleveland reggae bands Ital and First Light.

In 2009, while I was writing my first book, Big in China, I shut off most new music, digging deeply into familiar sounds to fuel the writing process. I had Dawes’ debut CD North Hills sitting on my desk for a few months, sent to me by their publicist Ken Weinstein, a longtime friend and publicist I trust. When he bugged me a little, I threw it in and the CD immediately joined the rotation with a lot of beloved classics.
