That is also a prime place to see him. The one problem with seeing him in a college town is the grip of bros shouting "TRUCK GOT STUCK" all night.

1000 umbrellas posted:"Get high/play a little Goldeneye/on that ol' 64" is the foundation for a new American poetry. The Goldeneye line is one of the best lyrics I've heard in years. Also, "see the world from the inside of a bar." I like the album generally, but Sea Stories seems like a perfect wheelhouse for Sturgill in particular.

H.O.L.Y. by Florida Georgia Line is the pinnacle of that sort of music.

Neither of those bands are really bluegrass though? They're country bands.

I was joking with my response. That song is an abomination and FGL should go away. In general, a shitload of bluegrass is religious in some way. Especially when you start going back to the rootsy bluegrass. I think a lot of Wailin' Jennys is pretty religious. Songs like Glory Bound or I think most of their first album (40 Days) has religious overtones. The O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack of course is a good place to start (and to then go through the individual musicians contributions) but that was assembled basically based on depression era music gospel / appalachian folk. Allison Krauss's I know Who Holds Tomorrow. Gillian Welch. Some of Crooked Still's music (Shaken by a Low Sound) touches on those topics. I'll poke around and look for some more specific stuff but for sure the o brother where art thou soundtrack is the most concentrated album of what you might be looking for (it also owns).

Thanks for the suggestions so far everyone! The O Brother especially, I love Allison Krauss but I haven't heard anything else off it, so I'll definitely check it out.

I feel like a piece of poo poo for not realizing he wrote it and that Zac Brown only covered it. I was just reading about the Isbell (who is a Serious Country Musician) relationship with Zac Brown and I found this great quote. "As Isbell said yesterday, 'If you want more popular country artists to sing songs that have some real meaning, don’t be pissed at the ones who do.'" It is cool because Zac Brown does seem to do some pretty cool and real stuff so I'm glad they get along. http://www.savingcountrymusic.com/zac-brown-band-covers-jason-isbells-dress-blues-on-college-gameday/ edit: memorial day video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hlYNU6xPJc Paper With Lines fucked around with this message at 04:10 on May 31, 2016 |

Anyone going to the American Roots Music Festival in Katonah this month? I just got tickets with a friend of mine and I'm pretty excited. I don't know a lot of the bands, but I've seen Hurray for The Riff Raff a few times so at least I know there'll be at least one fantastic headliner.

New Drive-By Truckers track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB4aP31heQE New album September 30. West Coast tour dates announced. In a rare bit of luck the dates correspond with a trip we were already planning. I'm beyond pumped. Check this out: quote:Drive-By Truckers have always been outspoken, telling a distinctly American story via craft, character, and concept, all backed by sonic ambition and social conscience. Founded in 1996 by singer/songwriter/guitarists Mike Cooley and Patterson Hood, the band have long held a progressive fire in their belly but with AMERICAN BAND, they have made the most explicitly political album in their extraordinary canon. A powerful and legitimately provocative work, hard edged and finely honed, the album is the sound of a truly American Band – a Southern American band – speaking on matters that matter. DBT made the choice to direct the Way We Live Now head on, employing realism rather than subtext or symbolism to purge its makers’ own anger, discontent, and frustration with societal disintegration and the urban/rural divide that has partitioned the country for close to a half-century. Master songwriters both, Hood and Cooley wisely avoid overt polemics to explore such pressing issues as race, income inequality, the NRA, deregulation, police brutality, Islamophobia, and the plague of suicides and opioid abuse. As a result, songs like “What It Means” and the tub-thumping “Kinky Hypocrites” are intensely human music from a rock ‘n’ roll band yearning for community and collective action. Fueled by a just spirit of moral indignation and righteous rage, AMERICAN BAND is protest music fit for the stadiums, designed to raise issues and ire as the nation careens towards its most momentous election in a generation. Sounds like a loving barn burner.

HORATIO HORNBLOWER posted:New Drive-By Truckers track. Also I hate to say this and I am gritting my teeth as I type but while I get why that excites people on paper I liked DBT being exactly as political as they used to be, where it was there but they were always storytellers first, and am not super optimistic about the result of white dudes on the verge of 50 saying they are really inspired by To Pimp a Butterfly.

that quoted post posted:AMERICAN BAND follows ENGLISH OCEANS and 2015’s IT’S GREAT TO BE ALIVE!, marking the first time DBT have made three consecutive LPs with the same hard-traveling crew. Um, no. DBT has, in fact, made three albums in a row with the same line-up before (Decoration Day, The Dirty South, A Blessing and a Curse). This line-up, however, has not. Unless you count the live album, which I don't because it's a live album. edit; Oh yeah, Shonna didn't play much on DD, my mistake. Still, counting the live album is dumb.

Just got back from the American Roots Music Festival. Good times. Saw some bands I wasn't familiar with (The Lowest Pair is really good), saw John Fullbright, and got to hang out with most of Hurray for the Riff Raff for a while. Definitely worth the trip to westchester.

John Anderson is fantastic. Old Crow covered Seminole Wind when I saw them in concert last year and I got way more excited than I rationally should have been.

I used to be in a band that played nearly every dive bar in Southern Indiana/Northern Kentucky. One night our lead guitar player bought an old band mate to sit in with us. The guy quit playing years ago because he had a really good job with the railroad and a few kids to take care of. Anyway, this guy could sing just like Jon Anderson. If you closed your eyes you'd never know it wasn't the real thing. When we played Seminole Wind.... I have never, in my life, seen an entire beer joint suddenly silence themselves and look toward the stage.

I'd have loved to see that. I haven't seen John live in over 20 years, and Seminole Wind is one of my favorite songs ever. I know I don't post here much, I'm mostly a rap/metal/shoegaze guy but good country always has a place in my heart. And the last time I walked in the swamp, I sat upon a Cypress stump, I listened close and I heard the ghost of Osceola cry.
