Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread

There’s a Chesney festival? There are things I had just as soon not know. It's been going on several years. Every summer he does a round of stadium shows with a bill of similar lame country artists. He makes huge money off it. Now he's got a thing going like the parrotheads. No accounting for taste...

Re: The TV thread

Tonight's episode of the Deuce was fucking devastating. I really, really wanted a particular character to have a happy ending but it went about as dark as it could get.

Thanks, forgot those. I think you're right, probably solo material.
Pretty sure 218 to Denver is solo material as well.
Is there any rumor of a Cooley solo album?
There was awhile back but I haven't heard anything in a long time.

Re: Post from Patterson On New Record

Haven't seen a potential song list for the new album recently, so I decided to stick this here. I'll stick this list here (what I can recall the past few years) of unrecorded songs... Some are obviously going to be on the new record (* IMO), others, maybe solo songs... Patterson songs: Tough To Let...

Re: Hood/Cooley Nov-Dec Solo Dates

Yep- a late afternoon show but it was packed and everyone was very respectful. The night prior Cooley told a joke before Carl Perkins Cadillac. I've long forgotten the joke but the punchline still haunts me in random thought "I'm think about pussy, I'm definitely buying a Cadillac" Grandpa Jones (o...

Re: P Hood's Mt Rushmore

I've loved "The Opening Act" since I first heard it on 9/28/07, but I've come to the conclusion that it belongs beside "Heathens" & "Living Bubba" as his finest song, also one that only he could write. The chill bumps never fail when that final verse kicks in.

I thought it was more Patterson cataloging Cooleyisms than a proper co-write; Pollyanna is credited Hood/Cooley though iirc
