Top Singer-Songwriters Perform Music for Peace
Edward Morris
03/13/2003

A lineup that included singer-songwriters John Prine, Darrell Scott, Beth
Nielsen Chapman and Tim O'Brien presented a three-hour Music for Peace
concert Wednesday (March 12) to a sold-out house at Nashville's Belcourt
Theater. Also on the bill were Irish singer Maura O'Connell, Bela Fleck &
the Flecktones, Alan Rhody and Luke Reynolds of the new group Blue Merle.

The event, sponsored by the Nashville Peace and Justice Center and organized
by O'Brien, drew more than 300 opponents to an American war with Iraq.
Despite the nature of the gathering, the evening was long on music and short
on speeches.

The performers could have filled the evening with hits they wrote for
others, but they generally stuck to lower-key and less-known fare. Scott did
delight the crowd with a slow, bluesy version of "Long Time Gone," one of
his contributions to the Dixie Chicks. Rhody, whose hit compositions include
"Train Wreck of Emotion" for Lorrie Morgan and "I'll Be True to You" for the
Oak Ridge Boys, sang "Rocket Fire," a song he wrote especially for the
concert. Chapman, whose credits include "This Kiss" (Faith Hill) and "Strong
Enough to Bend" (Tanya Tucker), performed instead her contemplative "Dancer
to the Drum." Prine, a last-minute addition to the cast, resurrected his
cult favorite from the Vietnam era, "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into
Heaven Anymore."

O'Connell, who built her 10-song set on songs from other writers, was the
hit of the evening, even though all the acts earned encores. "I got my first
e-mail today, saying I shouldn't support the Peace and Justice Center," she
told the crowd. "And I said, 'Should I be supporting the Bombing and
Injustice Center?' That wasn't in the Yellow Pages."

Fleck and his band did a mostly instrumental jazz program. But it was
leavened at one point by bassist Victor Wooten's impassioned rap for social
justice. Near the conclusion of its set, the band wove into one of its
longer pieces a medley of Beatles melodies and ended with John Lennon's
"Imagine" and "Give Peace a Chance," to which the audience sang along. When
Prine came back on stage for his encore, O'Connell joined him to sing "Angel
From Montgomery."

Frequent co-writers O'Brien and Scott opened with their spirited "Keep Your
Lamp Trimmed and Burnin'" and then ranged through such folk and gospel
numbers as "Farewell Angelina" and "House of Gold" before wrapping up the
evening with O'Brien's cross-generational "Another Day to Live and Die."

O'Brien announced a follow-up peace concert at the Belcourt for April 9 that
will feature him and his band, Chapman and Wise Child.
