Courtesy of Erd on facebook, this is a new record by a band called Country Westerns which is a new project by Joe Plunkett formerly of The Weight of Are Men fame. Talk about a blast from the 3dd past.

Fuck yea!
Bio:
Singer-guitarist and Atlanta native Joey Plunkett left NYC for Nashville 10 years ago, after making a name for himself in that city’s rock and roll underground as the leader of Brooklyn legends The Weight and hustling bass for Gentleman Jesse.
Nashville drummer and songwriter Brian Kotzur was the star of Harmony Korine’s “Trash Humpers”. Kotzur also wrote the film’s score. He was a member of the Silver Jews.
Country Westerns started as an outlet for Plunkett and Kotzur to play music almost in spite of being in the middle of Nashville’s hungry music scene. Their idea was to make “depressing songs with fun drums”.
Over a year they met up twice a week, made up songs that they liked, and played them to an audience of David Berman in Kotzur’s garage. They played parties sometimes.
This period was a kind of a state of grace – they liked writing and playing; they liked hearing Joey sing. Pressure was off. Still is, I guess. But anyway, everyone won. Sometimes they even played shows with a sax player. This is around when I saw them at Soft Junk, Nashville’s premier DIY party performance art space.
In Spring 2019, their esteemed colleague Sabrina Rush joined as a bass player because she’d never played bass before. She plays violin in State Champion and managed tours for bands you like. Her melodic approach to bass elevated the Country Westerns sound.
So David Berman encouraged them to leave the unmusical climate of Nashville to record a couple of songs with me at Strangeweather Studios in New York City (aka Music City) without a label, on their own dime. The idea was to capture the urgency of their live show. We all liked how it sounded so we dug into our pockets and did another session there a little while later.
Fat Possum heard the results, found our efforts “casually profound” and gave them a record deal.
I don’t know how to tell you about what it sounds or feels like, cuz that’s why it’s music. I’d say people who like raw and well written rock and roll songs along the lines of stuff by Dwight Twilley, Dead Moon, Wipers, The Saints, Replacements, Green On Red and that whole vibe should love this band.
There’s a rare emotional weight and poetry to Country Westerns’ music that hits the spot so hard for me. Hope you dig.

These guys used to be EVERYWHERE here in Nashville. For a couple years it felt like you could stumble into any old place and catch them, Blank Range, or some other awesome bands. Miss those days.

Turnpike Troubadours on shuffle. Such a lean catalog of songs.
“We shook that shit off of our shoes 100,000 times”
“We were two tornadoes touching down out in the old Midwest. We did our best at dodging the debris.”
Those lines are in the same fucking song. God, I miss those fuckers.

Yeah. I like it quite a bit. Posted about it a page back. The opening song is excellent, and overall it’s a pretty impressive record.jr29 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 28, 2020 3:59 pmhave you listened to the new Kyle Nix ?Iowan wrote: ↑Sun Jun 28, 2020 3:51 pmTurnpike Troubadours on shuffle.

"Casually profound." W/ a quote/description like that who cares what it actually sounds like? Can't wait to use that phrase in a sentence though it's hard to imagine how that might happen.Jonicont wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2020 7:15 amTequila Cowboy wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 9:49 pmI like this a lot.Clams wrote:Courtesy of Erd on facebook, this is a new record by a band called Country Westerns which is a new project by Joe Plunkett formerly of The Weight of Are Men fame.

I totally agree about the opening tune. It's fantastic.
I definitely give the rest a passing grade too.
He used every Turnpike member other than Evan and that's exactly what it sounds like.

There's a little of that 90's alt country sound to it, but definitely leans more rock.
