Don't see Darden Smith much on Surly...but a true Austin talent and a guy who puts his money and music and talent, where is mouth is.    His "Songwriting With Soldiers" project just aired on PBS, shot at War Memorial Auditorium, Nashville.  You would never know, by watching this, that he was the mind and energy behind this.

In my area it's the Pepsi Center in Denver.  Really disappointed in an arena show, but I am sure I'll still go.

I’m looking at a newer venue in Minneapolis that holds 7-8K or some weird arena in Madison.

90% sure we’re doing Minneapolis.

Anyone got the hook up for presale codes for Austin?

 

One of the ticket sites is already listing floor seats for $400 plus and they aren’t even available yet.

Sign up through his site for the verified fan presale. It was sent to his mailing list subscribers.

Every time I see a photo of James McMurtry I am reminded of the time I saw him sitting alone in the food court at Northcross Mall.  He was there for a kid's birthday party.  The kids were ice skating and James had this hollow, dejected look in his eyes, not unlike the way hostages look in photos released by their captors.

That is his standard look.

Even worse, the Erwin Center. 

There is no worse venue than COTA.

fuck this...i finally get in at 10:05 and it's only mezzanine left. 

6 in the pit in dallas.  fuck yeah!

I can't get in for Minneapolis.  Plus its fucking $78 BEFORE fees.  I'm out.

$100 for Austin before fees. First the code didn’t work, then it put me in virtual waiting then it sent me through to only find mezzanine available. 
 

just got email for artist presale at noon. Guess I’ll try that.

much easier through artist presale.  pw is GOODLOOK if anyone needs it.

I got $100 Loge seats in Houston with the Verified fan presale

 

$250 for 2 after fees.  Just a tad more than $15 a ticket at Fitzgeralds in 2015.

I'm pretty late with this comment but the animated story for "All is Said and Done" on the Sturgill Netflix is intense. Probably derivative of a bunch of Mad Max type plots we've seen before, but the story and visuals are kept so simple as to really hit home. I really liked the whole feature, it's barely over a half-hour and blends music and action beautifully.

I love rig rundowns. Is this a new one or the one that’s been out for a while?

it's a new one.  haven't watched yet but i will just to see him talk about the ed king guitar.

I'll bet that pissed him off more than the gunshots.

Jam Band Rocker. It would piss me off too.

I have two general admission floor seats for Randy Rogers at ACL Live Sat Nov 30th, face value ($70 for pair). PM if interested.

These are sold.

Based on Jason’s instagram he’s in the studio today. 

I'm gonna post this on this thread because it says "other good stuff" . . . Tony Joe White doing his best Louisiana swampy blues rock whatever.  What a fantastic song, I just now found this version.  (I don't know why people refer to it as "polk salad", I've always know it as "poke salad".)

 

 

That’s some sweet tone. And very tasty licks.

I don't know why but I'm not a fan of songs where you're describing food items.  But I think maybe also my distaste for Mustang Sally is creeping in.  BUT, man I like listening to that strat, love guys that use the volume knob like that.

Every time I heard this song, I now think of this song

 

Oh, definitely on the Ray Wylie Hubbard connection.  That appearance on Letterman was legendary.

It's not often that I just start gut-bust laughing listening to a song, but I'll be damned if I didn't lose it the first time I heard him go "I said 'down in Louisiana'".

I do love Polk Salad Annie too.  That TJW performance is awesome.

LMAO:

"We hit it off like a metaphor, like a metaphor for a hydrogen bomb"

 

Ray Wylie Hubbard is a national treasure that the country is largely unaware of.  Who writes "we hit it off like a metaphor"?  

Jeff Plankenhorn has a song on his new record (it is fantastic BTW) he cowrote and performed with Ray Wylie Hubbard.  

 

And the song he wrote with Hayes Carll.   Love they both have different lyrics.   Very different lyrics.  Then you have this bit of brilliance.   

She crosses a bridge and then sets it on fire
Lands like a bird on a telephone wire"

Did not know he wrote that with Hayes Carll

Plankenhorn wrote this in response to Lin-Manuel Miranda's acceptance speech at the Tony Awards shortly after the Orlando nightclub shootings . . . I think it's a tremendous song:

 

Never heard of these guys but this song keeps popping up in my Spotify.  Interesting vibe, vocals have a dash of Hank III.   First 30 seconds of vocals scratch an itch for me, going to have to listen more

 

 

Ha..i"ve pimped them for a while on here.  That album is one of my faves of the decade.

Big fan of this one from them:

I may have posted this in this thread before, but I've been listening to a lot of Arlo McKinley lately:

They in my opinion haven't put out a bad album.

I like Isbell.  I mean I REALLY like Isbell. He's a tremendous talent, and seems like a super cool cat. 

But he's a bit of a goofy-lookin' mofo. 

Amazingly he He looked more normal (Matt stafford-ish) when fat and bloated knocking on deaths door.

He looks high af in that picture. I just always assume that’s the case with the other guy.
