Bob Fudge – Colter Wall I’m finally done with the term, and I’m finally back to being able to jam out all day long at work. It’s a nice feeling for sure. It is an unfortunately temporary arrangement, but I am trying not to take it for granted. Colter Wall is one of the coolest Read more

Ever South – Drive-By Truckers It’s hard for me to believe that it has been so long since I’ve written on this blog. For those who don’t know, I started a Master’s program in early August, which has taken most of my free time that I would use to write. I really hate that. The Read more

Self Destructive Zones – Drive By Truckers The Drive By Truckers first post-Isbell record, Brighter Than Creation’s Dark is one of their best.

Sturgill remains one of my favorite modern country musicians, and in all honesty probably one of my favorite artists of all time. I was first made aware of him when this album, A Sailor’s Guide To Earth came out in Read more

Dance In the Desert – Daniel Donato Happy New Year! I decided to start off 2025 with a really fun one. Daniel Donato is a hell of a guitar player, and I would recommend listening to more than just the song I chose to feature to get a real sense of his style. This one Read more

John Came Home – Benjamin Dakota Rogers Happy Monday! This one is good for putting us in the Halloween spirit, I think. I came across Benjamin Dakota Rogers on TikTok of all places, and was stopped in my doom scrolling tracks by the opening guitar lick of “John Came Home“. I have long been a Read more

Thoughts on two songs by two artists that are both very important to me I know that I have mentioned Zach Bryan in posts before, but I believe I have yet to dedicate a post to him. The same goes for Frank Ocean. There are certain artists that are somewhat difficult for me to write Read more

Hallelujah – Ryan Bingham Ryan Bingham‘s 3rd album, Junky Star, is one of my favorite country albums to date, full of great songwriting and some really cool music. For today’s post, I chose to feature my personal favorite song off the album, but I expect to revisit this record at some point for an Album Read more
