I thought that was Cooley's geetar, at least it was back in the day.

I'm pretty sure it still is. I'm not sure what led to Patterson playing it here.

First song from the debut album by Mightmare which is fronted by Sarah Shook of Sarah Shook and the Disarmers. Cruel Liars is out on Friday, October 14th.

The title track from Weather Alive by Beth Orton. The album is due on Friday, September 23rd.

https://www.drivebytruckers.com/images/DBT_ClubXIII_cover.jpg Three listens in I'm reminded of someone recently saying they're on the fence about it because they find it so depressing. Yes, there's some sad songs on it but it's not like that's something new when it comes to the Truckers. It's alway...

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rDZY-LeEL._SL1200_.jpg After hearing "This Room for Rent" on the 2005 Oxford American Southern Music sampler compilation I'm sure I was going to get around to picking up some Sammi Smith at one time or another. As it turns out, what prompted me to finally make ...

The Return of Tanya Tucker is due this Fall.

I enjoyed this much more the second time around. For whatever reason, the flow of the songs was less of an issue this time. I was concerned because after that first spin I thought I might not want to listen to it again.[/img]

As stands, it's striking me as more of a...

Due August 19th and long overdue since it's the only I.R.S. era release not to receive the anniversary treatment. Unlike the other anniversary releases, Chronic Town will be the first to not include any bonus material. Despite what the press release says, it has been released as a standalone CD befo...

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41jcnKxSRUL.jpg Only my second listen since I picked this up back in the beginning of May. I have no problem whatsoever with the more pop direction Lydia has headed in with her two most recent albums but I'd also be lying if I said I don't also miss the more rock...

A few years back someone in a cassette FB group I belong to was kind enough to post most of the songs from one of my old mixtapes to Spotify. The only album they were unable to track down was Mondo Montage, a compilation of local artists that was issued on Record Bar's Dolphin label in 1983. Among t...

From May but well worth the read.

On this day in 1967, "All You Need Is Love" was broadcast as part of Our World, the first live, international, satellite television transmission which was seen by somewhere around 400 to 700 million people. This song closed the program and was broadcast from Abbey Road Studios in London. More info b...

What is "Alabama claw"?

The poofy, spiky hairstyle worn by the spandexed women that attended shows at Club XIII. A few of them can be seen in Wes' artwork inside the album. I believe Patterson mentions it in the liner notes.

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rDZY-LeEL._SL1200_.jpg Though I'd likely heard Sammi Smith before, it was the inclusion of "This Room for Rent" on the 2005 Oxford American Southern Music Sampler that piqued my interest in her. I've been meaning to dig deeper, then I learned of this newly rele...

"In 1978, vinyl records were more expensive than any other time since the RIAA began tracking sales in 1973. That year, the average retail sale price of a vinyl EP/LP was $7.32 – equal to $30.18 in today’s dollars when adjusted for inflation. That was the second-highest vinyl sales year in U.S. his...

Paste on the road with Margo Cilker in Boise, Idaho from a few months ago.

Emmylou and the Nash Ramblers covering "Guitar Town" back in 1992.

I'm extremely late to the discussion of the album, but wanted to add this: One of the few redeeming qualities of my ex-wife is that she did a great impression of the lead singer of Sidewinder. I got quite a kick out of the Sidewinder reference in W2CXIII. :lol: I learned of it when I posted an old ...

Heartless Bastards performing "Revolution" as part of a Do512 Lounge session back in March.

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Se6bIiVoS._SS500_.jpg After listening to this I’d have to say I’d put James McMurtry in the same category as Guy Clark and John Prine when it comes to the level of consistency of their entire recorded output. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91HOXIDMECL._SL1...

A friend of mine that's into off the wall, off the beaten path type movies introduced me to the likes of Heavy Metal Parking Lot and Dancing Outlaw years ago. One of her more recent recommendations was Finders Keepers which I just now got around to watching. Highly recommended if you haven't already...
