Just heard Quicksand by Laur Elle and it feels really cinematic and western almost like something you’d hear in 1883 or Yellowstone. Not really sure what subgenre you’d call it though… Anyone know other songs / playlists with a similar vibe?
From his Instagram:
"I gotta clear this up right quick. I never dropped that band from those 2 shows for “Satanic Imagery”, they made it up and dragged me by a rope real good. It all started about a month before those shows while we were off in Wyoming. Their production requests raised eyebrows simply because we couldn’t accommodate them physically. Then I noticed some of the things they’d been doing on stage and after thinking about it for a couple days I decided to cut em loose. We told em the vibe just wasn’t right for an all ages audience, and we paid em in full. They got together with their business folks and plotted for days before finally making their public statement, designed for effect. Purposely making it look like it was a whole tour. Dog whistling about religious and creative freedom. Of course my rights didn’t matter since they had a new record coming out and a headline tour of their own to announce. It’s my fault, I let ‘em slip through and being that this here’s my outfit, I’m the responsible party. I reacted. I might respond differently now but everybody’s got perfect vision in hindsight. I think the most difficult part of the whole deal was the way the media, save for one outlet, cared nothing for the truth. They sanitized these folks’ image for their own uses in the click bait traffic game that is America’s left-right culture war. Or maybe it was all the artists I know who had their hand out showering me with praise the last few years that used the situation to kick me in the dick. I ain’t the one holding you down. And I won’t forget that when I was face down in the dirt coughing up blood you applauded. As for Jack White, he used it to sell tickets too and I lost a lot of respect for him. I wonder why he wasn’t so outspoken back when he was in the white stripes 20 something years ago. They purposely avoided political issues. Maybe he was worried about losing audience back when it was all on the line and he needed all the help he could get. Funny, I’ve got everything to lose right this minute and I still shoot from the hip. I’ve been speaking from my heart against the wishes of the machine my whole life. Real patriots think for themselves."
It's pretty ridiculous him coming for Jack White when there are actually plenty of White Stripes songs with strong political messages and he's always been outspoken about that. I'm not even going to elaborate further on him changing his version of the story once again, but it's pretty clear that he has a difficult time accepting that a lot of people see him differently after all that.
My friends & I were talking about songs and artists that are overplayed and artists not heard enough on country radio. It feels like every other song is Jelly or Shaboozey. What are your opinions are on country radio lately?
i feel like this was taylor swift's fault... i can't prove it, but i FEEL like it.
Hi, this is my love song, Don't ever change.
I started with composing the simple piano and wrote the lyrics (I have a short of me singing it on my Youtube page) - I uploaded that into Suno to get better singing and more accompaniment. I'd love it if you could listen, thanks :)
Hey yall.
Been getting into to more country music as of late, and I really enjoy the softer, more somber sounding songs. Songs that sound a little haunting. The first 30 seconds of Far From Any Road is *exactly* what I'm looking for, but the rest of the song doesn't quite match that feeling. Could I get some recommendations of more songs like that?
Cheers.
Won't be Blue Anymore by Dan Seals is a favorite of mine
I’m starting to get to know this girl. We’re in our early 40s. Things are going well and I want to send her recommendations for flirty songs. Nothing too heavy. Maybe stuff like Head Over Boots by Jon Pardi.
They rocked. My friend and I almost didn’t go because of how bad talked about their recent shows. Was it a bad tour last year? Has anyone seen them this year and had a bad experience? That was an amazing show and couldn’t be happier. Given we were some of the youngest people there (27) and first time seeing them, am I missing something or just catch the best show they have had in 10 years?
Ciao a tutti, ho realizzato un video saggio narrativo per il mio canale di ascolto Frequenze per persone solitarie dedicato a Townes Van Zandt e al suo capolavoro del 1969, Our Mother the Mountain.
In questo episodio ripercorriamo la tragedia vissuta a 20 anni da Townes: ricoverato in una clinica psichiatrica a Galveston, subì trattamenti d'urto e shock insulinici che gli cancellarono completamente i ricordi dell'infanzia. E analizziamo come quel vuoto e quella malinconia siano stati trasformati in musica grazie agli arrangiamenti barocchi e spettrali di Kevin Eggers:
Qual è la canzone di Townes Van Zandt che vi scava più a fondo dentro ogni volta che la ascoltate?
