Country

[Landmine]

Not yet, I worry it's gonna be real polished and professional sounding and not like a busker that just drifted into town with an old guitar and an affinity for 1920s singers

It is pretty polished, but in a pleasant 50s country way. I've enjoyed what I've heard so far

Lee Clayton never really made it big, despite writing "Ladies Love Outlaws," which was a hit for Waylon Jennings. His first, self-titled album is really good, especially this song and "Lonesome Whiskey."

I gave it a listen, not really something I'd go back to but it's pretty good.

I was a huge Byrds fan growing up. To the point of acquiring a Rickenbacker 12 string with finger picks at the age of 16. That being said, Chris Hillman was my favorite (less neurotic than McQuinn) due to his weird approach to the bass in the earlier years and his influence on the group from 1967 onward. He ended up in FBB (alongside Byrds drummer alumnus Michael Clarke) cowriting so many of the songs with GP. I was a fan by default, love them. The albums without Gram are still good, but not of the same caliber as the ones with.
GP’s life and untimely demise is such a strange event. Still draws attention and wonder today.



Edit: Forgot to mention Gram’s stint in the Byrds! D’oh!
Sweetheart of the Rodeo is an awesome album.




Here is an amazing Hillman penned song. Furious passive aggressive McQuinn solo and all.

Hillman wrote and sang this one too. A bit more on topic. If I remember correctly didn’t he sing all the tracks on the LP right after gp died? I love this one….





Sweetheart of the rodeo is great even though gp only sang a few tracks on it. Rumor is he was still contracted by lee hazlewood record company. Which means the louvin bros cover etc…were all sung by mcguinn. That dylan cover of you ain’t goin nowhere is maybe the best dylan cover they ever did.

I was always more of a gene clark fan myself. Maybe my fav of all time. I got a Rick 330 also. You still play uh oh?

I was cranking some New Rider's Of The Purple Sage on my way to work this morning. I fuck with some of the old honky tonk shit, and love Townes Van Zandt, but could never get too into Outlaw country. I definitely fuck more with cosmic country than any other sub-genre but overall country is tight.

My father in law just gave me a Roger Miller record. Forgot about this one. This was actually my intro to him (didn't know he did king of the road at that time).

[BallDontLie]

I’ve been listening to him a ton lately… and his other band.

I’ve never seen this version actually. Pretty damn good
