Youve probably heard these already....

Grateful Dead. Been listening to 'em a lot lately too.

Obviously a ridiculously huge topic.

So here are two fringe entries:

Frank Thomas:

Only question is whether the cough syrupy sound is natural or uploader induced - never seen a copy of this record, never heard it anywhere but here and an upload on Waxi (by the same guy, I think).

Sanford Clark:

Why not just listen to Lee Hazlewood?  Yeah I don't have all the answers but fuck that guy.

There are many records better than this but 'Drunk And 'Crazy' by Bobby Bare is my go-to record. C.W. McCall is a good call.

[cerealrecords]

I always say this but for some weird reason "Streets of Baltimore" by Bare is mine, though sorta -politan for this venue perhaps.

This is obvious but I will make a largeish claim that Branded Man and Strangers-era Merle is among the greatest.

When you listen to early early Willie it's quite clear why it was perfect for Patsy Cline.

And there are few songs better than the original "Amarillo by Morning."

Riley Puckett
Ernest Tubb
Floyd Tillman
Will Barnes
David Allan Coe

These are both great. That Frank Thomas track especially.

Couldn't agree more. Been revisiting this shit A LOT lately, probably due in part to David Nance's "Silver Wings" cover. 'Swinging Doors and the Bottle Let Me Down' is hitting pretty hard.

[Matt]

I just read "Twenty Thousand Roads: The Ballad of Gram Parsons and His Cosmic American Music," so I have been on a Parsons kick lately—alternate tracks to the Byrds "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" w Parsons singing, Flying Burrito Brothers, solo albums etc.

Peter Stubb - Please try to buy the compilations put together by Jessie at Family Night Records (2 volumes), as all the shit on Youtube is really rough. This guy is a redneck guy with a lot of mental issues. Lots of songs about dip, whiskey, true love, mashed potatoes, self harm, jacking off etc. He can't do anything but make music. It's filthy, yet charming. It's goddamn beautiful.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3YCIJqSNzI Somewhat decent song.


I signed up partly to post about this guy. I'm not sure if you guys already heard of him, you guys are pretty elite fuckers.

His best songs IMO:

Asshole, Hackin On My Arm, One Woman Man


Also, unrelated, but on topic:

Slim Cessna's Auto Club - Last Song About Satan

Good that, Flying Burrito Bros, International Submarine band etc . Saw Emmylou Harris this weekend in Oslo. Some of her stuff esp the Gram influenced is great.

On that note, this "super group"(With members from Deleted Waveform Gathering, Dipsomaniacs & Motorpsycho) are doing Cosmic Norse music inspired from that. 3 lps where the two last was recorded at Ranch De La Luna in the desert,

Sugarfoot- The Santa Ana 2xlp
