Country / Alt-Country / Roots / Americana

I picked up a copy of Run Rose Run recently and along with exploring eras of her recording that I had previously ignored through the VMP series and reissues, I’ve started to release that Dolly is one of the most consistent Country performers with her level of longevity. Johnny, Willie, and Waylon all made some straight garbage. Kris went off to Hollywood. Merle might come close but there are areas of his stuff I don’t know so well. Loretta and Tammy had some duds too over the years. I’m not saying Dolly has made nothing but classics and Bangers, her ratio of not so good just seems smaller.

Very much looking forward to new Childers, Cilker, Miller, and Shoulders. Any others I should keep on my radar?

Really excited for Charles Wesley Godwin, Dale Hollow, Jobi Riccio, and Ashley McBryde as well. It is not on this list, but I know Willi Carlisle has a new album coming out in November too.

Looking forward to most of these as well, but to add to the list I’m very excited for new Logan Ledger, Lillie Mae, Willy Tea Taylor, Jeffrey Martin, and Jason Hawk Harris.

Yeah just discovered Jeffrey Martin, so good. Lillie is awesome. no vinyl yet though. Thought about going to her release show at The Basement this weekend but it is same night as Bama/Texas game so that is a tough call. I know Logan is doing an instore at the Groove on Sunday, Can't go to everything unfortunately.

Yep was considering it also. But a little torn bc as you mentioned, the Logan Ledger instore, but also TK & The Holy Know Nothings, Cut Worms, and Sunny War also all have shows in town this weekend. I can’t make up my mind right now, but leaning heavily toward the TK show.

It always happens that way though. Was really pumped to see Tre Burt in November but then Vincent Neil Emerson comes along and announce a show the same night.
 
A few months late to the party, but after seeing they were playing here a couple weeks ago (though I ended up missing it) and noting they're from Nevada City, a "family" connection, I finally got around to listening to Two Runner on Bandcamp. Really glad to have a copy of the record in my possession now.

That is a bummer, but a family vacation sounds nice too. I am going to try to go the Whizzbang Revue and to see Mariel Buckley at the Bluebird and William Prince, Fantastic Cat Friday night at 3rd and Lindsley but nothing else I am dying to see. Living in the Nashville kind of spoils you with good shows.

I really wanted to check this out but I get back in town about 2 hours after it starts.

You played more guitar than usual on the new album.


Yeah, I love to play. It’s good for me. But I just did a bluegrass album with a lot of great bluegrass musicians, and I didn’t play Trigger at all. It’s the first album ever that I didn’t play Trigger since I’ve had him.

Well, I'll be damned.
