TIM MONTANA Names The Five Country Artists That Metal Fans Can Easily Get Into
The man knows what he's talking about.
I have booked travel for a week in the #Nashville area in late March.
Since I'm planning to move there next year, some people have suggested that I should learn more than I could find out from Google Maps and Ken Burns' #CountryMusic documentary
Waiting on hold with Apple Support to get help with a small issue. The automated system is kinda cool: it gave me a choice of a type of music to listen to.
1 for country 🤢
2 for pop
3 for jazz
4 for nothing
After music starts playing, you can press a different number to change it. Neat upgrade to a system like this.
Got asked why I don't like country music, which gives me an excuse to recirculate this banger about the genre from Bo Burnham. It sums up my feelings pretty well. 😄
#JasonIsbell on "Rich Men North of Richmond" by #OliverAnthony: "There’s something there. But that’s the song you should have written when you were 16, and then, when you were 19, you should have rewritten it without the part about hating people on welfare. And then when you are 20 you throw the whole thing out and write another song."
Today in Labor History September 27, 1903: The Wreck of the Old 97 U.S. railroad disaster occurred on this date. 11 people were killed when the train, traveling from Monroe, Virginia, to Spencer, North Carolina derailed and careened off the side of a bridge. It was traveling at excessive speed in an attempt to stay on schedule. The wreck became the subject of a popular ballad covered by The Statler Brothers (feat. Johnny Cash), Charlie Louvin of The Louvin Brothers, Flatt and Scruggs, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Johnny Cash, Hank Snow, Hank Williams III, Patrick Sky, Nine Pound Hammer, Roy Acuff, Boxcar Willie, Lonnie Donegan, and many others.
I got too far from my raisin' and forgot where I come from,
and the line between right and wrong is so fine.
I thought the highway loved me but she beat me like a drum,
my day will come if it takes a lifetime!
#GreatAlbums1960s - 20 TOP Albums from the 1960s, from a list of 50 I reviewed last year when I first joined Mastodon. I'm going back to expand the survey by another hundred albums or so, to get a deeper sense of the decade's musical riches.
Singer-songwriter Maren Morris says she's leaving country music because of the Trump era: "It just revealed who people really were and that they were proud to be misogynistic and racist and homophobic and transphobic. All these things were being celebrated, and it was weirdly dovetailing with this hyper-masculine branch of country music. I call it butt rock," she told the LA Times in an interview about new EP "The Bridge."
On a Sunday morning sidewalk
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone,
and there's nothing short a' dying.
That's half as lonesome as the sound of the sleeping city sidewalk.
And Sunday morning coming down.
Bristol, Virginia is the Birthplace of Country Music, and the museum is a unique place to visit, especially for those interested in our Country Music heritage.
Waiting for a new tire and (involuntarily) listening to #CountryMusic in the waiting room while I get some work done on my laptop.
I'm noticing something about Country... they talk about Jesus a lot, but the theology is usually atrocious.
One song talks about working hard to get to heaven (Luther has entered the chat, and he is TICKED), and so many songs just casually mention Jesus like He's just another cultural object.
