Dave Alvin is great, but brother Phil gets way too little recognition. If you ever run across his first solo album "Unsung Stories" pick it up. He also has a great scene in the movie "Streets of Fire" (also starring Lee Ving & a very young & vicious Willem Defoe).Used to see the Paladins a lot at a place on La Brea called the Cathay de Grande (I wonder if this place is the Lava Lounge now) big rockabilly venue, you could find yourself sittin' at the bar with Ray Campi on your right and Levi Dexter three stools down. Also gotta see Social D. I'll be there early.
