They’re Hanging Me Tonight – Marty Robbins Marty Robbins’ Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs is seriously one of my favorite albums of all time. It’s so much fun to listen to; I would compare listening to the album to watching old Western serials like The Lone Ranger. It’s a super entertaining and also very relaxing Read more

Kate McCannon – Colter Wall I first found Colter Wall shortly after I got to college, and if you’ve never seen or heard him, I highly recommend watching the live performance first. He was 21 or 22 at the time it was recorded. In my opinion, he is one of the modern-day greats, and there Read more

Cedartown, Georgia – Waylon Jennings Another murder ballad! I think that may be the theme this week. Less than an hour north of me lies Cedartown, Georgia. A small town of about 10,000 or so, probably best known around these parts as being the hometown of Nick Chubb. It also happens to be the title Read more

The Bird Hunters – Turnpike Troubadours This past weekend, I was lucky enough to get together with three of my closest friends in my hometown for a weekend of hunting. I would rather be in the woods than most places and really feel lucky that I have the opportunity to do so so often. However, 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

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

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

Miss September – Greensky Bluegrass “Miss September” by Greensky Bluegrass, from the album Shouted Written Down & Quoted, is one of my favorite tunes of all time. It has a laid-back vibe with killer instrumentation. I believe I initially heard this song after being intrigued by the album cover. I love photography, and I really 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
