We've got another Southern California area salute to Linda coming up on February 7th, one with a distinctly alt-country bent (including Rosie Flores and Heather Myles):

I hope this concert is recorded and made available for viewing. Some of my favorite singers.

I think it could show up on YouTube.

I would say that Rosie Flores, besides being of Mexican-American lineage like Linda, always said that Linda was a favorite of hers (along with rockabilly legend Wanda Jackson), so it seems natural to have her there. Heather Myles is something of a surprise, since she is something of a revivalist of the 1960s Bakersfield Sound. though Linda's first album, Hand Sown, Home Grown, does have elements of that sound, on "The Only Mama That'll Walk The Line" and "Break My Mind" (Heather also happens to be from Riverside, which is 60 miles east of Los Angeles). But it looks like a great line-up they've got going. Who says that Linda doesn't still get some love in a part of the world where she lived and worked for so long?
