Grinder Switch – Redwing
The 33 1/3 book for DBT's The Dirty South made me aware of these guys and I quickly fell in love - their first 4 albums are absolutely gold!

I saw him at one of his last shows right before. Got to help lift him on stage because it was at a small place in Denver that wasn't handicap accessible. Andrew Rieger told me after the show that he hadn't seen Vic light up on stage like that in a while. He put on an incredible performance that touched everyone in the audience. We drank a beer together after the show with Laura Carter. News of his death hit me really hard. I don't think I've cried from a musician's death before, but I cried when I heard this news.

I had a good Warren story so...
My go-to record store from the mid 80s thru the mid 90s was Selecter Records. It was in a small town that was considered the big town by my town which was a tiny town. Selecter was owned by Warren Haynes' brother, Brian, and his wife Susan. Such good people. I spent so many hours in that store and have so many great records in my collection because they turned me on to them. Eventually, Brian's dad became ill and they sold the shop so they could move back to Asheville. A local "hipster" bought the store and the guy he had working there was Jack Black's 'Barry' before High Fidelity. So sad it went down in flames that way, but I digress.
We had a tiny bar/club - maybe held 100 - called Ten Years After that pulled in some incredible artists during that period. Most of these were truly musical giants but the trends of the day had left them out of favor with programmers and record sales weren't what they used to be. One of these was Lonnie Mack. I had tickets for this one and I got a call from Susan the day before the show. She told me Warren was coming in to visit and the plan was he would jam with Lonnie that night.
The message was get there early, please tape and keep my recording habit on the down low as the jury was still out on how Lonnie felt about tapers.
I did, I did and I did and boy, am I glad I did...
Fun fact about Lonnie - he bought the 7th Flying V off the production line at Gibson and that was his guitar forever and ever. What a unique sound he got.

April 7 - On this day in 2020, John Prine died of COVID. Play a country-folk/Americana album or an album that was specifically made as a pandemic album.
The pandemic inspired Lucinda Williams to create the "Lu's Jukebox" series of records with the proceeds going to live music clubs to help keep them afloat. Great cause. Great music.

Jason promised that if Georgia went blue in the 2020 election, he'd release an album of covers of Georgia artists - this release the outcome of that. Amanda Shires & Jason also hosted a daily livestream the first 30 days or so of the initial shitstorm of the pandemic, and personally I found it to be a great way to continue to feel connected & deal at that time. They've since pulled most of them down, but including their cover of High & Dry from the series as a bonus.

It really is. And Jason & Amanda's voices continue to be appreciated by me in the current political climate.

I was wondering if i was going to have a chance to spin this for the challenge thread and then nearly forgot it was a pandemic album. I hadn't heard this band before but the people in the record store recommended it when I came in several times in a row, so I blind bought it. This things great, heavy blues-y stoner-y groovy... Only problem is "Rats in Ruin" usually haunts me for a couple of days whenever I play it.

Richard Betts - Highway Call
Dickie Betts and Gregg Allman invited Haynes to join the Allman Brothers when they revived the group in the Late 80s . Duane get lots of deserved love but Dickie Betts is just as vital to the success of the group and his solo stuff rips!
