Country / Alt-Country / Roots / Americana

Went and saw the Cactus Blossoms on Saturday night. That was a fun band I wasn’t super familiar with. As much as I hate genres, my best cut at it would be Bakersfield-via-Texas with a hefty dose of power pop and 50s-60s retro and just the lightest touch of rockabilly. Great harmonies from the front two and the hidden gem was the guitarist they had parked in back.

This is such an interesting set. Wish they’d have had at least a short run of vinyl pressings on this one, but it probably would have been priced out of the market for number of records.
 
Heading out to see Jaime Wyatt tonight. Last time I saw her with Nikki Lane, and she didn’t disappoint. This time it’s in a 250-seat venue, really looking forward to it.

I saw her a couple weeks ago, but she unfortunately caught a cold a couple days before & had to gut her way through the set. I could tell something was up before she said anything because her voice wasn't up to par, though it still shone a little later in the set. Her band is fantastic.

Though she added some Memphis soul & it's no longer full-on outlaw country, I was surprised the new album didn't end up getting cited on more end-of-year lists.

She even mentioned the flu she had, said she’s feeling way better (and sounded like it). Lots of good energy and plenty of charm. A really solid show that ended with a cover of the Stones’ “Wild Horses.” Great way to spend a Sunday night with 100 random strangers.
