Lucky Austinites were treated to a last-minute show from Joanna Newsom and Smog last night at the Parish, after Newsom was able to borrow a harp. She played a mix of tracks from Ys and The Milk-Eyed Mender for the packed crowd, most of which exited after her opening set. Bill Callahan opened with a solo version of "The Well", and was then joined by Newsom on keyboards for a set similar to their last performance in Austin. They played mostly material from the latest Smog album, A River Ain't Too Much to Love, as well as oldies "Cold Blooded Old Times" and "Blood Red Bird".
