and where in the world is that english girl, i promised i would meet on
and yeah luv me some hayes carl. his song with corb lund, she left me for jesus, is hilarious. corb lund is another fave, but this seems like a pretty hip (if small) crowd, so i'm guessing everyone here already knows him.
if we haven't already lost the OP, this one might complement the welch/rawlings style. i don't usually like hipster remakes of old music, but sean hayes's alabama chicken LP is an exception. and all of his years in the carolinas give him some cred for me.

Here's "She Left Me For Jesus"

love that song.
and as long as it's gospel hour:

If my scheme to convert Las Vegas to funk fails, and it probably will I'll get back into bluegrass, folk. I did a lot when I was starting. 'Country' mean commercial to me. I like this kind of stuff;
I call it mountain music.

And I also think of it as "mountain music" - not that I know much about it - just that the contemporary stuff that generally approaches me wearing the "country" label sounds too commercial and cliched to be swallowed easily. So it's older stuff for me - and some of the "new" old stuff, under a more modern bluegrass label - and also I have been developing a warm taste for the unexpected (to me) southern blend of soul and country.
As a cultural tradition alien to my own, it is still all pretty new to me, though, .
So interesting to check out all these recommendations.
Thanks.

Here's Blue Rodeo showing their psychedelic country side. I like that these guys play what they want, even if it doesn't fit country, or rock, radio format.
Here's the official video, still good but has over 3 minutes cut out.

I did not know James Burton played on Gram Parsons' solo albums--I thought it was Clarence White (who was a fellow Byrds alum and died just before they were going on tour). Al Perkins plays a mean steel guitar on those records as well.
I saw Gillian and Dave a few years ago--phenomenal performance. Check this out:
Watch what he does with the capo at ~1:44. I have NEVER seen anyone do that. One of the best flatpickers around IMO.
If it hasn't been said before, here are quite a few others I like and have seen: Lucinda Williams, Old Crow Medicine Show, Old 97's.
By the way, I love jazz, and it's about the only thing I can play reasonably well, but I really want to start an alt country band ala the Drive-By Truckers.Last edited by Doctor Jeff; 04-21-2016 at 05:41 PM.

Neat capo use indeed ^^^
Here is some more neat capo use, a nice little trick which he does several times in the course of the tune - he doesn't start playing till around 1.15 or so btw if you want to avoid his rambling introduction -
(Not meaning to derail the thread from country sounds btw, I just thought one good capo trick deserved another!)

Came across Pierce Edens music over the weekend, quite a voice! Here's 3 really good songs from his latest release (2012) that show some nice range.
Pierce's music is based in folk and bluegrass from the Appalachians of North Carolina where he grew up, combined with the energy of punk he was exposed to in his teens.

Time for another Tom Russell post. "Wounded Heart of America" is a collection of Tom Russel songs recorded by other artists, and a few recorded by Tom. Some great stuff here.
Veteran's Day, Blue Wing, Gallo del Cielo, Manzanar and 'The Sky Above, the Mud Below' are stand-outs on this outstanding set.
Here's a link to the playlist for the entire album.

Tony can do it all . . .

More of Tom Russell's incredible story telling - 'Manzanar'. Here's 3 artists (including Tom) telling the story, each bringing something a little different in their interpretation of the lyrics.

Here's one from Dead Grass, a bluegrass band that played Grateful Dead and featured Vassar Clements (who worked with the Dead). Looks like the entire album is on Youtube, it's a pretty cool listen.

This song was referred to in a newspaper article I read this morning, so I've been looking forward to hearing it all day. Now's the time...
