Charley Crockett "Avoiding Mirrors" at the Iroquois Ampitheater

Newer fan here. I've been picking up Charley's albums on vinyl every few weeks as funds allow and "Visions of Dallas" is the most recent one. I love Charley's stories and sense of humor as he shares the experiences that went into writing his songs, and legitimately wondered about this "red horse flying through the sky" image. Keep on keeping on Charley! I love your music. ***edit*** Anyone else have some cool stories about seeing Charley live or lyrics backstories? I'd love to hear them!

Hermanos Gutiérrez just started their own label Discos Gutiérrez

Hermanos Gutiérrez just launched their own label called Discos Gutiérrez and are bringing their whole early catalog under it.

Feels like part of a bigger trend right now where artists are building their own ecosystems instead of relying on traditional labels.

What do y’all think? Is this a good move?

Uncle Tupelo - Moonshiner

Jay Farrar sounds like he's lived it. "I've been a moonshiner for 17 long years". UT didn't write this song but man, but this song rings true.

Best Slobberbone song?

I know Pinball Song is a lot of people's favorite Slobberbone tune (and I love it, too, to be honest). But what is their best song?

I think Barrel Chested is up there. Thoughts?

Burning Ma’am

Anybody going to Burning Ma’am this year? This lineup has been a real goldmine of new music for me. Basically all loud country, psych, garage and punk with a few bonuses thrown in. Just hoping it isn’t quite as rainy as predicted but what the heck. Let’s get sloppy. I’m driving out from Western Mass because it’s gonna be that awesome.

Hello, I am dark country folk singer-songwriter / producer Homer Doak, and wanted to share my recent release on Bandcamp, "Mule", because hard mustered tunes die in darkness, and I appreciate you very much if you happen to hear it.

I use a field recorder (Zoom H6) run through an old reverb tank and decent Focusrite preamp. I play acoustic fingerstyle and do the vocals and guitar in a single take, then add a little frills here and there in Reaper. I love to record.

The main tracks on the album to highlight are "Hookworm" (Song about my grandpa life who lived through depression and rural poverty, WWII, etc.), "Fail Asleep" (Inspired by a monologue from Joel in The Last Of Us), and "Wondering If" (Just about wondering what could have been).

Thank you and hope to hear from you, any feedback, complaints, compliments.

Newer bands with killer guitar leads

I’m familiar with most of the 20th century bands in the genre but I really only know the obvious current alt country acts. I’ve been on a big Lucero kick lately and I’m looking for newer bands that have the kind of guitar leads that they had on their 90s bangers. Any suggestions?

ETA: I guess they didn’t record a ton in the 90s. Those first 5 albums or so all rip though. They knew how to open an album with a banger
