Well, it wasn't the liveliest show to ever grace the Granada's hallowed stage, but James McMurtry recorded a live album Saturday night. The newly launched NoDepression.com billed Saturday's event as a promo for the new site -- one alt-country classic playing for another -- though the way it turned out, there wasn't much mention of the ex-mag.
More than anything, McMurtry dared audience members to dance like Methodists at the foot of the stage, and apologized for tuning his guitar so often.
