Letting the Possum live longer than most of us will is proof that God exists and is pretty dope.

The other day I found myself in a car playing the local country station. I heard Darius loving Rucker covering "Wagon Wheel". I wanted to jump off a goddamn bridge.

Whatever happened to Blanche? I don't see anything suggesting they broke up but also nothing indicates they've done anything since Little Amber Bottles. I liked that they had the kinda gothic sound without going up their own rear end like 16 Horsepower did after Sackcloth 'n Ashes.

It's really loving great. I don't know why it didn't grab me the first time I heard it a while ago but I'm all in after three or four spins. Not sure it has any one song that matches the best post-Isbell tracks ("Birthday Boy", "Checkout Time in Vegas" and "Daddy Needs a Drink", for my money) but I've forgotten probably half the tracks off The Big To-do and Go Go Boots and these are all sticking with me.

rxcowboy posted:Just wanted to say thank you to this thread. I'm primarily a metal guy , never listened to DBT before but decided to look them up on youtube. Heard "women without whiskey" and loved it, it's scratching an itch I never knew I had. Where should I start in their catalog? Standard answer is Decoration Day and The Dirty South. Southern Rock Opera precedes those and was their breakthrough but doesn't click for a lot of people until they hear something else. After the "classic" lineup the produced DD and TDS dissolves, the clear highlights are Brighter than Creation's Dark and this week's English Oceans, though the other three post-Jason Isbell albums all have their moments. The pre-SRO albums are widely neglected but absolutely worth a spin once you've burnt through the rest.

So Tom Hiddleston will be playing Hank Sr. in another attempt at a biopic. Maybe there can be a post-credits scene where the Avengers round up all the contemporary country artists who insist on namedropping Hank in all their songs while sounding like Bon Jovi hosed a Bass Pro Shop and like Thor just wails on Florida-Georgia Line with his hammer.

There was a lovely vertical cell phone video, now deleted, of Tom Hiddleston singing "Move it on Over" at some thing this week. It wasn't like real bad but it sounded like we were seeing a weird transitional point in his preparation for the role -- like he'd worked at losing the British accent but hadn't actually gone as far as trying to actually sound like Hank. I can't imagine that's his finished Hank voice.

Patterson said on WTF that it was mostly his coke/alcohol issue. I think he put it that he offered Isbell a break from the band to pull his poo poo together, Isbell refused, and the next day he and Cooley decided they had to fire him. The "artistic differences" line was to let him save face (though I agree with the above that I really do prefer Isbell's sound from Decoration Day and The Dirty South, which he was already moving away from on A Blessing and a Curse, so it really was a plausible cover story). I think Isbell confirmed that account more or less on his own WTF episode. They're good interviews and I'm not really a WTF listener.

Where do you start with Nickel Creek? Cause I first heard of them in high school from my friends who were into Dave Matthews type poo poo and never checked them out cause I didn't trust their opinions and wasn't into this kind of music then anyway.

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.

ColonelJohnMatrix posted:Yeah, that mildly progressive aunt is a good description. Their political commentary has always been fantastic because it's been the side effect of telling a great story. It helps put you in the scenario and lets you see the bullshit first hand, coming to your own conclusions, and for the most part said story has always been surrounded by great music. These two tracks just kind of suck.

Noticed there was a third track from the upcoming DBT album on Youtube, "Filthy and Fried". Not top-tier material but I think it's better than the first two I heard by a mile. Actually has a melody and it's full of detail, not just a polemic. eta: Looking back at the last page for the release date (coming Friday) I noticed John Anderson chat -- I once interviewed him on his bus at a random-rear end county fair, had totally forgotten that happened. Super nice guy. KICK BAMA KICK fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Sep 28, 2016 |

So I'm finally getting around to giving "American Band" a full spin and just a few tracks in, my question is, who the gently caress picked those tracks to release before the album dropped? This is totally solid but I don't even feel bad about the way I was reacting earlier -- it's like they went out of their way to pick the least interesting songs to debut.

The songs in common: Waylon's versions on Honky Tonk Heroes or Billy Joe's on Old Five and Dimers Like Me? I'm not sure I can answer this in light of anything but which version I was more familiar with first but I would have to go with Billy Joe's on most of them.

Not really relevant to anything but I gotta say "One of These Days" is both one of my favorite DBT songs and the biggest example of why I'm glad they learned to mix guitars better after their first two albums. The second verse is nearly inaudible.

Somehow accidentally learned today that there is a Mandy Moore cover of "Willin'", and I'm just saying I do not believe her when she sings that she has driven every kind of rig that has ever been made. Linda Ronstadt however remains undefeated.

A few years ago so might be old news to many but I just noticed the Kacey Musgraves remix/cover of "Neon Moon". If you told me Kacey Musgraves did a good cover of that song, I'd of course believe you. If you'd told me that it was sequencer pop that puts autotune on the Brooks & Dunn vocals as backup I might not have -- but it's good!

Was doing a thing like a New Years' resolution except I forgot to start doing it until February where I try to actually listen to something I haven't heard before every day I have a chance -- new release by an artist I like, someone I've been meaning to explore further, something I know nothing about but just saw mentioned that day, something regarded as classic but I've never been interested in so I might as well give it a shot. Succeed about every other day, try to jot down a short note about each one. Think I hit my favorite one of the year so far, following up on a song I liked in my most recent Discover Weekly: John Hartford. Started with Looks at Life, soon as that was done I went to Aereo-Plain and both were fantastic. I like a lot of stuff in that ballpark of the ~1970s country/folk/rock/psych nexus but rarely does anyone hit right on the mark in the sense of humor or melody like this did (Jim Sullivan is the other one that comes to mind). I have a hard time believing anyone who reads this thread couldn't find something to like if you're not already familiar so if your ears are free for 30-40 minutes stick one of those in there. Also, it's just cool that he wrote exactly one hit that was enough to live off of and make whatever he wanted for the rest of his life, which it seems like you can't really do anymore. Off-thread topic but my least favorite of this experiment so far, one of the ones I was listening to for no reason other than it's famous and I'd never actually heard it: The Smiths, The Queen is Dead. Based on reputation I was totally prepared to begrudgingly concede that while he sucks, on occasion the guy can write a tune, but I had no use for any of that poo poo. Absolutely gently caress that guy.

I got exposed to Cole Swindell's "She Had Me at Heads Carolina" and that is one of the most unexpectedly disorienting experiences I've ever had with music. An avant-garde salvo in song recycling technology. We're maybe a year away from somebody just prefacing an otherwise unaltered original recording with "ooh and it goes like..." and releasing that as their own.
