Title: RT is back in this country in Jan 2013

Well, Scotland at least!

He's appearing as a guest on the Kate Rusby celebration concert in Glasgow on 24th January. It's a Long way to fly him to help on a couple of tunes. Has anyone seen any other dates in this country around then?

According to his web site he's playing over t'other side of the pond the night before - Wed, 23 January 2013 Tallahassee, FL. Nothing about any UK dates as yet.

That place name reminds me of a Tom Waits song about a lassie from Tallahassee. Nice rhyme.

I don't think so, but there could be a re-write there!

The song was "Had Me a Girl"...

And I had me a girl Tallahassee
Boy what a foxy lassie

I think Jim is in Freddy Cannon territory. Young Tom may have "borrowed" the rhyme.

Someone on the RT Facebook page made this observation -

'The way I read that, all of those names guest on an album called "20" and only an unspecified "some" of them will be at that concert.'

So I'm guessing that RT is not a definite for this concert.
