relationship after Warshaw and Miller were quick to mail a check. "I don't know
if it was the right amount," he laughed.

"It's a little independent label, something that fell through the cracks,"
Langford said of the home to some of his favorite artists like Trailer Bride, Neko
Case and Timms.

"Why do ypu think it's Insurgent?" LaInferioria pursued.

"Insurgent is kind of cheeky," [Much like Jon - s.l.] he smirked. "It's an
effort to destroy the country music establishment." Providing a link to past non-
Nashville greats, Langford offered some old-time cheekiness: "Bob Wills said,
'Don't confuse me with any of that hillbilly shit.' And that's a quote as well."

Before he hustled outside to sing with Hogan, Langford said he'd be
joining Timms on tour, including the Calgary and Edmonton folk festivals.

Eureka! An easy hook for
my story, being a Calgary native
and former Edmonton resident.

He had never been through Western Canada, but the
Calgary Folk Festival pursued
Timms and "offered her a load
of money." She asked him to
play guitar and an eight song
CD emerged, the sterling Songs
of False Hope and High Values.

Joined by multi-instru-
mentalist Jon Rauhouse and
Cherilyn DiMond, the former
bassist for Austin's defunct Meat
Purveyors and a demon with a
hockey stick, Timms and
Langford started in Minneapolis
in late July and ended in Denver
by early August. With stops in
four Canadian cities, I figured I
could write this puppy once and
sell it at least four times. Ka-
ching.

Calgary's folkie outing
includes workshops, I tell
Langford in a late-June inter-
view that found me in Waco,
Langford in Chicago, and
meandered through the Internet,
capital punishment and music.
