If any of yall ever go down to Galveston, just go to the Old Quarter to meet Rex Bell. He's always there and owns it. And he's the subject of this song.

I've recently gotten into Corb Lund and Jason Isbell through Spotify and need to get into more of that type of music. I live in Texas so I should know more countryish stuff than I do.

Spotify recommended John Fullbright the other day and I'm digging the stuff on his profile.

Oh also Randy Rogers because I had a great time while I was hammered at a festival he played last weekend and he looks like my Grandpa minus a few decades.

Some other Texas-y songwriter guys right now you'd probably like;

Hayes Carll

I've been listening to the new album Metamodern Sounds in Country Music by Sturgill Simpson. It's really great; he has this voice that's a dead ringer for Waylon Jennings or Merle Haggard but with trippy, almost psychedelic lyrics.

If you like outlaw or classic country check it out, it's on spotify.

EDIT: here's a song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWx6csgGkg4

This album is fantastic.

I'm sure he wouldn't do it but I'd be pissed if they didn't ask Hank III.

Not only didn't they ask him, they didn't ask for his approval and apparently he's pissed Hank is going to be played by a non-American lol. All the celeb gossip sites are freaking out about how he's apparently a racist xenophobe redneck for not liking their favorite hot movie star.

I saw Steve at Gruene Hall a couple of years ago and it was a great show. Maybe his divorce hit him hard?

Does anyone have anything like 357 string band, hellbound glory, bob wayne, highlonesome? it seems like a pretty niche genre, but this is the closest thread to the style.

You'd probably like Hank 3 if you've somehow never come across him.

As some who was born and grew up in the Appalachians (Western NC and East Tennessee), it is amazing to me that a foreign movie is one of the best love letters to bluegrass I have ever seen.

I have to say, one of the coolest and weirdest experiences in my life was going to a bluegrass festival in the Netherlands. Basically a bunch of weird European hipsters cosplaying as rednecks, but hell it was a lot of fun.

Can anyone tell me what type of folk/country is used in the trailer for this movie? Sorry to link to Amazon but I couldn't find this particular trailer anywhere else. Any more music you can reccomend in the style of that song would be much appreciated, thanks

That's Johnny Corndog/Fritz. He's cool.

Stuff that sounds specifically similar to that song... hm I don't know. Sad folk country would be Townes Van Zandt territory I guess.

Hi thread, thanks for telling me about Hayes Carll. It was exactly what I was looking for.

When it comes to country stuff I've mostly listened to Waylon Jennings, so I needed some new stuff.

If you like Waylon and Hayes, you'd probably also like Sturgill Simpson for more newer stuff:

Paper With Lines posted:

Can anyone explain why he left DBT? The timeline seems to be:

1. DBT let in JI
2. JI marries a bassist
3. JI gets bassist into band
4. JI and bassist break up
5. DBT kick out JI

Is that incorrect?

His first marriage, to Shonna Tucker, the band’s bassist at the time, came unstitched in public. There were some ugly scenes. Isbell’s fondness for Jack Daniel’s did not become him. “Some people get drunk and become kind of sweet,” Patterson Hood, one of the Drive-By Truckers’ principal singer-songwriters, told me. “Jason wasn’t one of those people.” Isbell left the band in 2007.

i don't mean to poo poo on that cool announcement, but i gotta say that i saw The Bottle Rockets in like 2007 and boy howdy were they just the most generic country-ish band i had ever heard. are they actually any good?

The Bottle Rockets loving own. Especially the songwriting. Definitely give their first two albums (Bottle Rockets and Brooklyn Side) a try.

Were the prison concerts just some Johnny Cash liked to do or did other country artists do them as well?

Also, I've always greatly preferred live albums to studio when it comes to country and folk music and I was wondering if there were any good ones you could recommend if I like the usual suspects (Cash, Willie, Waylon) and some of the newer boys (Colter Wall, Isbell, Hayes Carll and Sturgil) and I guess throw in Steve Earle. Just artist in that general sound, playing live and interacting with the crowd.

Steve Earle's Live in Nashville 1995 is fantastic.
