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

Silver Dagger – Charley Crockett One of the best entertainers out today, Charley Crockett should be one of the faces of country music, but instead the powers that be continue to pander to a pop radio audience and perpetually shove acts like Morgan Wallen down our throats. Morgan has a cool voice, but his songs Read more

It’s All Over Now Baby Blue (Live, 1966) – The Grateful Dead More Dead! Oh no! I’ve just been on a major kick lately. I tend to prefer covers of Dylan songs to them being sung by Bob himself. It took me a really long time to “get” The Grateful Dead; maybe it’ll happen for Read more

Look at Miss Ohio – Gillian Welch I first heard “Look At Miss Ohio” in a cover done by Miranda Lambert that is really good, but I think the original by Gillian Welch is my favorite. There’s something about the way that Gillian sings the song that perfectly matches the lyrics, almost like you can Read more

In Bloom – Sturgill Simpson Sturgill Simpson covering Nirvana. A perfect union of contrary things. 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

Atlantic City (Live) – Randy Brown Atlantic City is far and away my favorite song by The Band, which is of course a Bruce Springsteen cover from his critically acclaimed album Nebraska. The Band added some country twang to Springsteen’s somber anthem about New Jersey gangsters and the sentiment of memento mori. Honestly, the Boss’s Read more

Three Dimes Down – Mike Cooley (Drive By Truckers) Happy Friday the 13th! I had the pleasure of seeing Mike Cooley of the Drive-By Truckers with about 50 others last night at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur. My buddy and I, who went together, have seen the Truckers a couple of times, but this was our Read more

Alabama Jubilee, You Took All the Ramblin’ Outta Me, & The Uptown Poker Club – Jerry Reed Atlanta born and Georgia raised, Jerry Reed, often overlooked and criminally underappreciated by the masses; I don’t know if Jerry would have it any other way if he were still around today. I think his so-called “novelty” songs Read more

Guitar Man Upstairs (Live) – Mike Cooley (Drive By Truckers) Happy Monday! Over the weekend I got to see the Drive By Truckers again, this time performing one of my favorite albums of all time, Southern Rock Opera, in its entirety at The Tabernacle. One of the lighter and fun songs off that album is Read more

The World Is Ending – Brent Cobb Brent Cobb is one of the most under appreciated country artists out today, and one of my favorite “chill” country guys to listen to. This song in particular, “The World Is Ending” has a tinge of psychedelicness to it, which is almost reminiscent of the legendary and righteous Read more
