Alabama – Cross Canadian Ragweed CCR or CCR? Most folks are only familiar with one, without giving any credence to the other. (HA!) Cross Canadian Ragweed, one of the most influential (and best) alternative country/rock outfits of all time. I first came across these guys either my senior year of high school, or my freshman… Read more

Graveyard Shift – Uncle Tupelo Before there was Wilco, there was Uncle Tupelo. If you’re a fan of Jeff Tweedy or Wilco, you’re probably familiar with the aforementioned trivia, with Wilco forming after singer Jay Farrar departed from the influential but never quite breaking into the mainstream Uncle Tupelo.

Looking back, it may have actually been the first time we drove somewhere together outside of work. I do remember asking… Read more

Musta Been A Ghost – Proxima Parada Proxima Parada’s song “Musta Been A Ghost” is a great song for the days ahead, with summer winding down. Upbeat and soulful, this is a great song to welcome in the weekend or maybe even say goodbye to one on a Sunday afternoon. Lyrically, I think this song… Read more

Malibu & Assorted Covers – Miley Cyrus Happy Friday! I don’t really listen to much modern pop music for a multitude of reasons, but I really love Miley Cyrus’s voice. I think she has one of the better voices in music today, actually. I love when she covers songs, and I’ll link some of my… Read more

Jehovah & Van Gogh – Pony Bradshaw Pony Bradshaw is one of the more interesting “alternative country” artists out right now, and he recently dropped an outstanding new album Thus Spoke The Fool, although I am choosing to feature songs from his 2019 debut album Sudden Opera. Thus Spoke The Fool is a killer “traditional”… Read more
