If our friends at KGSR were to curate a stage for ACL, we suspect it would look like this one. Though we have no knowledge that Austin radio mainstay Jody Denberg is the man behind the curtains for Saturday's AMD stage, the bands here certainly look a lot like his playlists! What strikes us as great about this stage is that the music all fits together nicely even though it crosses many age groups, demographics, and genres. It would be hard not to enjoy what's on offer here, so consider staking out a spot and using AMD as your Saturday home base.

Fleet Foxes (12:30): A last minute addition to this year's festival, Fleet Foxes are unquestionably one of 2008's biggest indie rock success stories. Their warm and harmony-filled, reverb-heavy folk sounds are quite a bit gentler than most of what's out there in popular music these days, and should appeal to hipsters fond of M. Ward, My Morning Jacket, and Bowerbirds as well as their Moms who dig Neil Young. This is a great reason to turn up early - this band is tight, they're destined to get more and more popular, and the early set time will fit the tunes perfectly. These songs are meant to be played out in a big field.

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings (2:30): If you've ever felt cheated that you didn't grow up in the era of Tina, Aretha, and Stax, this is your must-see of the day. Ms. Jones and her very large soul revue band are unapologetic about bringing the big sounds of Memphis soul back to modern audiences, and have proven to be a huge hit with both the NPR set and a generation of younger fans. The tiny and over-50 Jones dances, preens, shouts, and grooves with abandon befitting someone two decades younger, and we can guarantee you'll leave this performance grinning. Wonderful stuff, and a surefire crowd-pleaser.

Robert Earl Keen (4:30): If there's such a thing as Texas music, this is it. Keen isn't really on the national radar, but he's been a star to college students across Texas and to folk and country fans in the Southwest for the better part of 20 years. He's a songwriter more than a singer, and his rough-hewn voice isn't for everyone, but the man has written his fair share of songs that are covered daily in bars from Abilene to Waco. Singalong songs like "The Road Goes On Forever" and "Merry Christmas From The Family" will likely feature here along with some more introspective fare. Mostly - if you like Jerry Jeff Walker and Lyle Lovett, turn up and enjoy; if not, try a different stage.

John Fogerty (6:30): It's not hard to guess what's on Jeff Lebowski's ACL schedule this year, as Fogerty hits the stage at 6:30 for a set heavy on classics from his former band. Fogerty formed Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1967, and that band's six-year run led to dozens of hits and an iconic status as one of the signature groups of the era. Infighting with his former label and bandmates soured Fogerty on his Creedence compositions, and he refused to perform them for nearly 15 years after the band's demise - relenting only when asked to help with a charity concert for Vietnam vets in the late 80's. After sitting most of the 70's and 80's out musically, Fogerty returned to touring and recording in the mid-90's and has released a string of enjoyable and solid (if not groundbreaking) albums in the decade since. If you don't hear "Run Through The Jungle" and "Fortunate Son" during this 50 minutes, we'll eat our hat.

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss (8:15): Rounding off the evening is the unlikely (and, apparently, Led Zeppelin reunion killing) collaboration between bluegrass and AAA radio darling Krauss and rock god Plant. Their Raising Sand album is tailor-made for the Old School Austinite crowd, combining rockabilly, folk, and some occasional Led Zep yowling into a pretty and earnest record that met with critical accolades and solid sales. Expect everyone over 40 at ACL to head to this stage, while everyone younger will run over and catch Beck instead. It would be hugely amusing to stand in the middle of Zilker Park at 8pm and watch the generations head their separate ways - so give that a try, why don't you. But musically, this appearance by the duo will be massively popular and will likely be touted as a highlight of this festival when all is said and done. So catch them if you love them, because a return engagement is far from a sure thing.
