| A tangy, melodious country-and-blues score! is how The New York Times described Lone Star Love when it played in New York last spring. Inspired by The Merry Wives of Windsor, Lone Star Love transports Shakespeare's immortal John Falstaff to post-Civil War Texas, where he wreaks havoc on the town of Windsor, and in so doing, gets his comeuppance. A toe-tapping, crowd-pleaser of a show, Lone Star Love features the beloved Red Clay Ramblers, who since 1975 have been melding bluegrass with jazz and rock, leading The New York Times to exclaim, "Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! The Red Clay Ramblers play like angels auditioning for Gabriel!" |
