June 6, 20214 yr Bought tickets today for Jason Isbell at Red Rocks on August 1. I know he's coming to Austin right after that but it's going to feel really good getting out of the Texas heat. And this will be my first time seeing him live after two aborted attempts. Here's hoping third time's a charm.
June 7, 20214 yr What a stupid question. Yes, Isbell is running a festival that features bands he is feuding with.
June 7, 20214 yr I loved the answer though. Grabbed a hotel room earlier. I think it’s gonna sell out fast.
June 8, 20214 yr Can't remember if I posted this already but the discussion of Cooley's writing made me think of it. The Moment with Brian Koppelman Ep on 2/11/20 Linky no worky Edited June 8, 20214 yr by cactusflinthead

June 11, 20214 yr used to be "wow i bet this isbell album will be great" and now it's "maybe there will be a couple decent songs".
June 11, 20214 yr used to be "wow i bet this isbell album will be great" and now it's "maybe there will be a couple decent songs". Slow clap. I tried Listening to “Reunions” recently. It still mostly sucks. I like “It Gets Easier” and “Only Children” and that’s it.
June 11, 20214 yr I’ve been digging The Vandoliers lately. This is the best new song I’ve heard this year, with the possible exception of that McMurtry song.

Forever is a great album through and through. I don't care for their previous stuff as much, but that one is really solid

Damn, Bruce is doing some fantastic stuff right now. He is realizing something that he talked to be about a LONG time ago. He initially built that Premier Studio but had to sell it but he is really making this stuff work now.
June 14, 20214 yr Blackberry Smoke at HOB Houston on Friday night was tremendous. Charlie Starr is a way underappreciated musician.
June 18, 20214 yr PSA. If I recall correctly, there are several posters here that like Scott H. Biram (the H is for Fuck You). He's playing Monday's at C-Boys on South Congress before he goes back on tour. Early show 6-9pm for $5 cover. I went last Monday and it was great.

Here's hoping third time's a charm. I decided to go that show instead of one of the Austin shows. So excited to see them at Red Rocks with Lucinda opening. This will my high school aged kids first show at Red Rocks. It’s pretty cool to have this experience with them at a place where I’ve been making it a priority to travel from Texas to see bands since I was their age.
June 23, 20214 yr On a local DFW front, 1100 Springs are calling it quits. Thanksgiving final shows at the Granada.
June 28, 20214 yr I think I’m most interested in this: ”The L.A. Rats — a metal supergroup of Rob Zombie, Nikki Sixx, John 5, and Tommy Clufetos — interpret the Hank Snow hit “I’ve Been Everywhere,” famously re-recorded by Cash for 1996’s Unchained.”

July 2, 20214 yr Having trouble finding it on Youtube, but Sturgill performed "House of the Rising Sun" with the National Symphony Orchestra for Joan Baez's Kennedy Center Honors a few weeks back. It's phenomenal. Best I can do is share the link to the whole broadcast from CBS and tell you to fast forward to timestamp 26:40. Do the work to watch it. It's worth it.

July 7, 20214 yr Nice tune. A couple of thoughts: Kevin Russell is really aging into a terrific singer, and it ain't Fastball without Joey.
July 8, 20214 yr I heard a guy named Rob Baird on local radio last night, broadcasting from Guero's. He was fantastic. Somewhere between Steve Earle and Red Dirt. Terrific voice, strong lyrics, and his guitarist absolutely smoked. The songs on his website are older than what I heard, and frankly not as strong. Anyone know anything about him? Apparently he's done some pretty big tours, so it's probably just me who's out of the loop. Rob Baird

July 18, 20214 yr New John R Miller album released yesterday, the whole thing is great. Here’s an older live version of one of the songs on the album

We actually paid him to play at a party in college- was surely the worst gig of his career. I loved his Blue Eyed Angels album and haven’t felt like anything since has compared other than a few songs (Dreams and Gasoline, Can’t Stop Running). I really thought he was going to take off but never seemed to happen for whatever reason. He puts on a pretty good show - has some good stories he will share on the origins of a few songs. Not hard to catch in Austin… seems like he plays a few times a year at Antones and Saxon Pub. Edited July 21, 20214 yr by 40acredropout
