Count Chocula posted:The Tallest Man On Earth was billed above George Clinton and Jon Spencer in the Golden Plains festival press release I just got. I don't really approve, but I'll check him out. He reminds me of guys like Passenger, who just seem inoffensive. He IS pretty popular, but he certainly wasn't billed above Parliament/Funkadelic, and I think he's much more suited to the Golden Plains crowd compared to Jon Spencer. Anyways, to the other guy going to see him, I saw tallest man on earth in Melbourne earlier in the year, and it was mostly good, but he has an odd stage persona, and will range from no eye contact and standing still, to basically staring down any person who cheers too loudly, I swear sometimes while he was up there he just looked really pissed off to be playing his songs to people. This was probably exacerbated more by him telling us these really long explanations to songs where he basically says he regrets writing it because it's so hateful to someone he loves, only to start playing and have a whole bunch of people start cheering. Also, be prepared for a duo with his wife where they basically make out with each other while he plays the guitar. Everyone loved it for some reason but it was just really awkward. This makes it sound pretty bad, but his performances were perfect and most of the time he was normal, I guess it just depends on the crowd

stealie72 posted:If you even remotely like classic country, listen to this album: My knowledge of country basically extends to Johnny Cash, early Elvis, Townes Van Zandt, the Marty Robbins album with the bright pink cover and Wagon Wheel by OCMS, which I realise is a list of babbys first country music. But I can't stop listening to this album, it's grabbed me in a way few albums have recently.

Colonel J posted:I'm looking for laid-back moody, atmospheric acoustic fold in the vein of Panopticon's Tamarack's Gold Returns (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxCLgSJmhgw ). They're a black metal band so the rest of the album really isn't like that. Everything I find either has vocals which I don't really care about, or is a bit too intense. Thanks for any recommendations! Maybe Calexico/Friends of Dean Martinez? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBEbTupJO98 related to that maybe parts of the Red Dead soundtrack? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cXsoRRYf5A

Anyone heard this kid? 22 years old, must have been smoking and drinking since he was 5 (although that facial hair is definitely age appropriate) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCebq5lLgos rockamiclikeavandal posted:Give this a shot Also this guy is great, but I've been listening to earlier albums and he most certainly doesn't have that lisp that he's affecting on the new album screaden fucked around with this message at 04:05 on May 24, 2018 |

JnnyThndrs posted:Yeah, I’m not much of a Twitter person, but Isbell’s tweets are often hilarious and generally on-the-money. Considering the quality of a lot of country music people's comments, him dunking on them constantly is great

Tons of really rare, often private press, folk-y stuff, they have an Aus themed playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MWJ8_DlfHQ Lots of US and Japanese stuff there too

I was wondering if this would get posted here, he definitely has a weird fixation on Isbell but also seems bizarrely defensive of Morgan Wallen too, this was only a few days ago https://www.savingcountrymusic.com/grand-ole-opry-unfairly-attacked-after-morgan-wallen-appearance/ I mean look at that opening line! "When Morgan Wallen was caught using the N-word in a playful moment with a friend on a Ring doorbell camera on January 31st, 2021,"
