Rocky Raccoon – The Beatles A couple weeks ago, I said I didn’t know if I could ever write about the Beatles. Well. Here we are. Whatever reservations I had about it were in my own head, with some encouragement and the realization that there is probably nothing that I can say that hasn’t already… 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

John Came Home – Benjamin Dakota Rogers Happy Monday! This one is good for putting us in the Halloween spirit, I think. I came across Benjamin Dakota Rogers on TikTok of all places, and was stopped in my doom scrolling tracks by the opening guitar lick of “John Came Home“. I have long been a… 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

Angel From Montgomery – Susan Tedeschi (John Prine) Recorded live at the Austin City Limits on June 23rd, 2003 in Austin, Texas John Prine is considered by many to be the ultimate singer/songwriter, and while I am inclined to agree, I really don’t know enough of his catalog. What little I do know is outstanding,… 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

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
