Any of you listen to Cody Jinks? Noticed he was on tour with Whitey Morgan so I decided to check him. He's pretty drat good. He's Texas Country but it doesn't have their specific sound imo. Some high points of the Adobe Sessions album.

This is probably the appropriate thread to talk about bluegrass, but went to a Della Mae concert last week and oh man, it was fantastic. I was talked into trying to snag a ticket for Grey Fox by some cool people I met there. Anyone ever been out to the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival?

I hope Evan doesn't continue this as they are by far my favorite group in country. Dude has a crazy talent for writing songs. Hope he gets better.

I saw Jason Isbell last night at the Peabody in St. Louis. I'm still coming down from it this morning. Just an incredible show. I've seen him before and while it was very good, his command of the stage/material was something else last night. The way he effortlessly slides from rock guitar virtuoso to comedian/storyteller to intimate singer/songwriter is almost incomprehensible. My wife, who notoriously doesn't like concerts and had really only heard Isbell in passing in the car when I listen to him, was completely floored as well.

Because country isn't really my main thing, I only recently discovered Jerry Reed and I'm addicted. I don't even know how I came across him, maybe GTA V, but I started looking around and found this great version he does of "Halleluljah I Love Her So": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92jNtakMDZo The piano-inspired style he plays is great. He also looks like playing guitar is a genuinely joyful experience, which is also fantastic. I bought "Nashville Underground" and can't stop listening to it; granted, it's a bit more on the pop side, but I love it when he does that funky syncopated stuff like on "Fine On My Mind" and "Tupelo Mississippi Flash." I also picked up "Jerry Reed Explores Guitar Country" (which was excellent) and Chet Atkins' "Me and Jerry." Are there any records where it's just him and a nylon-stringed guitar?

I saw Jason Isbell in Toronto tonight. God. drat. The venue was excellent (Danforth Music Hall) and Jason and the 4400 put on the best show I've seen in over 25 years. He closed with Children of Children and it was loving incredible. Shovels and Rope opened and while I don't know many of their songs, it's pretty loving impressive that two people can play so multiple instruments at once and have such a great sound.

Sturgill Simpson just released a track off his forthcoming new album. It sounds like what would happen if Pink Floyd did Outlaw Country and its loving awesome!

I'm really happy I got to see Sturgill in a small venue before he blew up, he's really going places. When I saw him in Chicago last time, it was in a ~700 capacity club. A year and a half later he's playing a 2,500 capacity theater.

Last year it was the Bijou (700 seats), and he just announced he is at the Tennessee Theatre here in May (1600+). That new song is really good.

Thanks. I'm familiar with him but don't really get excited about him. I think I'm looking for something with a little more instrumental focus. Really not sure though. Maybe I should just make a playlist of all the banjo heavy 16 Horsepower and Wovenhand songs.

I don't think I've ever heard him before, but that is one generic "country singer" voice. Sounds like the parody country song from Team America.

Sturgill is pretty amazing most of the time (surprised you never heard of him, because he has taken off in the non pop-country world). That said the cover is blah. Turtles All the Way Down, Brace for Impact, You Can Have the Crown, and Sugar Daddy are a good place to start to see if you would like him. That said I love his voice. Maybe because it reminds of a time when country music was actually good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWx6csgGkg4

I like the cover. I feel like people just hold up Nirvana so much that no matter how it sounded people would poo poo on it. Sturgill's cover of The Promise is way better though

I don't hold Nirvana on any pedestal and I was prime age (15) when Nevermind came out. It's just not a good cover song, that's all. It could have been great but it's not. It's certainly a bad single to release in my opinion.

NPR is streaming A Sailor's Guide to Earth. So far so good. The Nirvana cover isn't my favorite, but in the context of the album it sounds better. Also, Sturgill was a guest on the Joe Rogan podcast a couple days ago. The Joe Rogan podcast apparently consists entirely of Rogan talking non-stop to the guest about things completely unrelated to them and showing them youtube videos of animals fighting. Can't say I found it to be a good use of my time.

I've been watching the movie a lot lately, and I think the Heartworn Highways soundtrack might be the best track-for-track country album of all time. I mean look at this song list L.A. Free - Guy Clark Ohoopee River Bottomland - Larry Jon Wilson That Old Time Feeling - Guy Clark Waiting Around To Die - Townes Van Zandt I Still Sing The Old Songs - David Allan Coe Desperadoes Waiting For A Train - Guy Clark Bluebird Wine - Rodney Crowell Alabama Highway - Steve Young Pancho And Lefty - Townes Van Zandt Texas Cookin' - Guy Clark The Black Label Blues - Gamble Rogers River - David Allan Coe One For The One - John Hiatt Darlin' Commit Me - Steve Earle Ballard Of Lavern & Captain Flint - Guy Clark I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry - Steve Young & Friends The Mercenary Song - Steve Earle & Friends Elijah's Church - Steve Earle & Friends Silent Night - Full Group Most of the versions of the songs on the soundtrack are better than their respective album cuts, to boot.

"Get high/play a little Goldeneye/on that ol' 64" is the foundation for a new American poetry. The last track is a sizzler, there are dashes of elegant moments throughout, the lyrics mostly leave me wanting more. They sound very personal, but they don't really seem to transcend the mundanity of most personal thoughts/feelings. The emphasis on horn arrangements strikes me as very adventurous musically, but I'm not sure that Sturgill is best suited to that kind of production.

It's certainly a great album. I'll never understand why Rodney Crowell has never released a version of Bluebird Wine. His version is vastly superior to Emmylou Harris's version. This reminds me that hearing The Eagles' version of Seven Bridges Road made me look up Steve Young to see what he was up to. He'd died the week before

Bought my tickets to Corb Lund's Down From The Mountain Festival in Eureka, MT August 15. It's like 550 miles away so that's a good excuse to load up the camping gear, get on the motorcycle, and burn some gas and oil.

I just got tickets for the Corb Lund show at a little bitty honky tonk just outside of my town in June. It's the ultimate venue for him. Just a little seedy, but safe, always full of hippies and cowboys and dogs. Capacity for maybe 75 people. Last time I saw him there, they had to take out tables to make room for people. No stage, just a corner. Can't wait.

Caught him in Seattle at a similar venue. They killed it. You'll have fun. The Eureka gig is in an old horse arena, got pretty dusty in there last year.
