Kyoto Rocks: Lonesome Dove Woodrows


When I was in Kyoto a couple years ago, I saw that this band, Lonesome Dove Woodrows, was playing at a local club. I didn't make the gig, but later looked them up online. What I missed, to my regret, was a killer roots rock band -- Japan's answer to the Blasters and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. I have no idea what the band name means. It's some kind of reference to the Larry McMurty book and/or mini-series. Both the band name and the lyrics are stellar examples of Japanglish.
