You’re Dead – Norma Tanega Something about Norma Tanega‘s 1966 song “You’re Dead” feels ahead of its time to me. Maybe it’s the darker tone or the interesting groove with mixed tempos. Whatever it is, this song is really damn cool. I love the way Norma plays the guitar on this track, maintaining a folk… Read more

Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down – Kris Kristofferson Rest in Peace Kris Kristofferson. I hate to admit that I am not as well-versed in his music as I should be, but I really like what I do know (his first two albums and The Highwaymen). Because of this, I feel that Trigger over at Saving Country… Read more

The brainchild of none other than Dave Grohl, he was able to make one of the best hard rock records, performed by some of the greatest musicians of our lifetime. Dave on… 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

Jolene – CAKE This ain’t Dolly! This is CAKE! The first time I heard this one, I think it was probably some time in middle school, and I remember really digging the guitar riff that opens the song. I think it honestly had more to do with the tone of the guitar than anything, but… Read more

I’ve listened to the Mountain hit multiple times a day for the past few days,… Read more

Steak Night at the Prairie Rose – Silverada Another Silverada song for y’all! One of the best country bands working today, you might as well call these guys the USPS because they always deliver. I can’t get enough of these guys lately and have been working my way through their discography over the past couple… 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

Frankie’s Gun! – The Felice Brothers Happy Friday! A friend recently sent me this one, “Frankie’s Gun!” by The Felice Brothers. My initial impression was very Dylan-esque, but I would say that there’s some pretty heavy Beatles influence involved here, and even more so The Band. Lyrically, I can’t get enough of this one. Every… Read more

Time To Get A Gun – Fred Eaglesmith I was first introduced to this song by Miranda Lambert at a young age, who covered it on her great album Revolution, and up until recently, I was under the impression that this was her song. I have been wanting to look into Fred Eaglesmith‘s work for… Read more
