Kathleen – Catfish and The Bottlemen Catfish and the Bottlemen are another one of the groups that I listened to all the time in college, an indie rock outfit hailing from Wales. If I remember correctly, I first heard “Kathleen” while I was in high school. I really liked it but for whatever reason never… Read more

It’s called Freefall (Live from Athens, Georgia) – Rainbow Kitten Surprise It’s really hard for me to pick just one song by RKS, so much like 49 Winchester, there will most definitely be some in the future. I think if I had to choose the artist or group that was the largest contributor to the… Read more

Almost Automatic – Good Looks Happy Friday! I was introduced to the outstanding indie group Good Looks by a good friend of mine, who showed me this song almost a year ago, and since then, it has been in regular rotation for me. Not exactly a country song, but these fellas are from Texas, and… Read more

Fool Hearted & Veruca Salt – 49 Winchester Okay, I promise this will be my last 49 post for a while. To avoid posting them four weeks in a row, I decided to feature both these 49 songs on the same day because they’re on the same album, The Wind. It also happens to be… Read more

Lump – The Presidents of The United States of America The first time I was introduced to this song was actually through one of my childhood heroes, Weird Al Yankovic. Before I heard Lump, I heard his parody, called “Gump”. About Forrest, of course, it is so well done that it’s sometimes hard to tell… Read more

Dead & Bloated – Stone Temple Pilots If you’ve listened to a rock radio station, or streamed some sort of 90s rock radio on Spotify or Apple, chances are you have come across STP and probably this song. Best known for its jarring and blunt intro, vocalist Scott Weiland is actually singing into the pickup… Read more

Decoration Day – Drive By Truckers I don’t think I could ever write any post that aptly does this song justice, as it is an absolute masterclass in storytelling by Jason Isbell. (If you’re not familiar, he got his start with one of my favorite bands ever, the Drive-By Truckers.) I firmly believe that Mr.… Read more

Midas – Wunderhorse Another short one today! Wunderhorse is one of my favorite new bands, formed out of a solo project started during the pandemic in England. Their first and, at the time of writing, only album, 2022’s Cub, (which I plan on featuring in an album of the month post at some point in… Read more
