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

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

All I See Is You – Shane Smith and The Saints A solid tune from a red dirt country band out of Austin, “All I See Is You” is far and away Shane Smith and the Saints‘ most popular song, having been prominently featured in the hit show Yellowstone. (The group also made a cameo… 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
