“A parody of a parody made with love…light-hearted entertainment.” – The New York Times

“There’s a reason Daryl Glenn & Jo Lynn Burks Play and Sing Robert Altman’s Nashville won the 2009 Bistro, MAC and New York Nightlife Awards: it’s a damn good show. Backed by a kick-ass band, Glenn and Burks work their way through all the songs that appeared on the soundtrack of this classic Altman film, as well as a few that were in the movie but didn’t make it onto the album. From Keith Carradine’s ‘I’m Easy’ to Karen Black’s ‘Memphis’ to the sublime Ronee Blakely’s ‘Tapedeck in His Tractor,’ the easygoing Glenn and Burks create magic on stage. Both have terrific voices and they take a terrific idea and make it their own. Don’t miss it!” -David Hurst, NEXT Magazine
