I was listening to John Prine's cover of Blaze Foley's "Clay Pigeons" last night. Followed it up with "If I Could Only Fly" and I'm trying not to bawl my eyes out.

Yeah this was great!

I know there aren't a lot of people here into Avett Brothers but my wife and I saw them again last night. They're still great to see live. I haven't been into the last couple of albums but they played a few from the one they're working on that seemed to have more energy than what I've gotten from the last couple albums. "Satan Pulls the Strings" was hands down the best of the night.

I saw Hayes at an accoustic only show in Minneapolis. He was still pretty great.

Also, I saw the Oh Hellos again, who I have been plugging like whoa in this thread, and I'm not convinced that they are a closet christian band. So, uh, take that for what you will. I probably won't go see them again, but I have seen them live three times now.

Are You Afraid to Die? - The Louvin Brothers
Country Death Song - Violent Femmes
Oh Death - Noah Gunderson

He Stopped Loving Her Today - George Jones

I've listened to about a dozen different versions of Bury Me Not On the Lone Prairie. Not sure which one I like the most but the versions by the Sons of the Pioneers, Burl Ives, Texas Ruby and Curly Fox, and Anne Price are all pretty good. The Roy Rogers versions is a bit strange because in it the speaker is actually requesting to be buried in the lone praise because he just loves being a cowboy so dang much while in all other versions I could find it's a dying youth begging his compatriots to ensure that he's buried next to his father and not on the prairie and they still bury him basically on the spot.

Aside from this thread's recommendations, all of which have been great, I've found:
(There'll be) Peace in the Valley - Loretta Lynn
I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive - Hank Williams
Death is Calling Me - The Earl Brothers
And am I Born to Die? - Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn
Wayfaring Stranger - Johnny Cash (and also like ten thousand other people)
Man in the Long Black Coat - Mark Lanegan
Death - Andi Almqvist
In My Time of Dying - The Be Good Tanyas
The Coroners Gambit - The Mountain Goats
They're Hanging Me Tonight - Marty Robbins
Rattlin' Bones - True North
Diggin' My Grave - William Elliot Whitmore
Death Don't Have No Mercy - Rev. Gary Davis which is blues but it's got the right vibe.

I don't know if it's what you're looking for, since it's mainstream and kind of uplifting, but Dolly Parton & Brad Paisley's "When I get where I'm going" is definitely A Country Song About Death.

Yeah, it's kind of hard to keep up with them at the moment though with all their alternate names and poo poo.

Some pretty good stuff nominated in the Grammies this year.

http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/grammys/6785974/grammy-nominations-2016-full-list

The biggest surprise to me was that Hayes Carll wrote the Lee Ann Womack song (and it was nominated for a grammy!) but it seems like a pretty big deal that the Alabama Shakes got a shitload of nominations.

Also, the Chris Stapleton album that won the CMA best album award is nominated for best album in the Grammies as well! The real one, not just the country one (which he was also nominated for).

Jason Isbell get a nod for best Americana album but I hope it goes to Brandi Carlile. :ohdear:

I saw them the night before Thanksgiving in Knoxville, and it was amazing.

Also last Friday night I saw the Avett Brother play a benefit show at the Tennessee Theatre. In this smaller environment they were great, and it was 10x better than when we saw them at the Knoxville Coliseum. While I am not a big fan (my wife and son are), it is a shame they don't play smaller shows more often.

Last night was pretty cool.



Chatted with Corb for a couple minutes after the show and mentioned I enjoyed the Down From the Mountain Festival in Eureka, MT in August and I hope he does it again. They're gonna try another one-day event next year so they "don't gently caress it up" and maybe expand it later. Trying to get Hayes out next year too.
