ChesterCopperpot Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Listening to that Jason Isbell album and it is amazing. Great roadtrip by yourself album. Glad to hear you dig it! Every time I listen to it, I find something new about it that appeals to me. The lyrical content is excellent, I think. Isbell writes really great stories, some inspired by his own life, and some that he just crafts. I feel like he'll be the guy that people look back on in a few years and discuss what a great songwriter he was in the way that people talk about Steve Earle, Guy Clark, and Townes Van Zandt now. His new album is free here - http://www.npr.org/2015/07/08/420588068/first-listen-jason-isbell-something-more-than-free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E. Dynamite Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Thread necromancy - June Carter & Johnny Cash have the best banter ever, June plays San Antonio Rose on an autoharp that cannot begin to be described as in-tune while wearing a diamond ring that possibly weighs more than she does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Surprised no one has mentioned Paul Cauthen. He's quite a hoss in the Johnny/Waylon baritone tradition. Ian Noe may be more in the "folk" tradition of songwriters; he can be downright serious like Bob Dylan but he's got a sweet and soulful sound a la Gram Parsons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coletti Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Before every pop country song was singing about butts in blue jeans, Mel McDaniel was doing it right, with a catchy guitar hook and a pretty body-positive outlook...

Horatio Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 4 hours ago, driver said: First song I heard by him was the amazing "Big Velvet". I immediately thought of "Marfa Lights" when i saw this thread, but that is the most psychedelic tune on his first album. I probably should have used "Big Velvet" to introduce him to the board as it so aptly describes his vocal chords. Is he right when he says we ain't ready for Big Velvet? I compared him to Johnny and Waylon, but Elvis may have been more appropriate. He's gotta be one of the most distinctive musical voices of this century.

Cobra Commander Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 heard this song on the WSM Classics Midnight-3am block, and I can't unhear that Bill Anderson's spoken word parts sound like Percy Pringle talking At the risk of saying that Percy modeled himself after any country singers aside from George Jones.

Horatio Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 "Bustin' rocks for getting stoned..." This is a hella weird performance from Mickey Newbury. He plays an instrument called an omnichord, which seems to be a mix of a synthesizer, autoharp, and steel-guitar. It's an extended version of "Workin' Man" from a recently unearthed song-trading gig he did with Larry Gatlin in the 80s. Not sure if it was meant for TV or what; the entire thing can be found on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I went down a rabbit hole trying to find a good instrumental version of Listen to the Mockingbird. There's a good one by Flatt and Scruggs and one by Carter Burwell from The Alamo soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zendragon Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Sturgil is something else from Metamodern sounds with the soul and horns, to the Hawkwind meets Waylon sound of sound and fury to two volumes of bluegrass to this Marty Robbins thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driver Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 The lines between country and rock are being blurred even further by Jellyroll and Hardy. Hardy is the most surprising one because of the amazing "Wait In The Truck"(featuring the talented Lainey Wilson) and while listening to him on Youtube the video for Blurry came up(which I had heard before) and I had an "Oh shit!" moment.

Curt McGirt Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I got Cash III: Solitary Man for Xmas. I love having it, but the only time I'll probably ever listen to it is when somebody I know dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
