  10. Flatlanders find new life with 'lost' recording

    The Flatlanders – the West Texas trinity of Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock  -- were about 50 years behind the times and 15 years ahead of it, Ely once surmised. The band left behind a batch of songs recorded in 1972 and then disappeared, leaving behind a legacy that inspired countless bands and movements over the decades.

    From its debut in 2011, the Haymarket Opera Company has thrived by putting on repertory of the sort no other Chicago group has investigated as thoroughly – unusual baroque chamber operas using period instruments and historically informed stage direction, movement and design. These intimate rarities have felt perfectly at home in Mayne Stage, a cabaret-style theater in the city's Rogers Park neighborhood that seats 230 and serves drinks during performances.
