If I have to listen to Country, I listen to Gram Parsons or the old "Outlaws" stuff (Waylon, Willie, Kris, Cash). |

I'm not sure what is "Americana" and what is "Alt country", but I listen to a lot of this stuff. The Flatlanders, Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, The Bottle Rockets, Uncle Tupelo, Bill Malonee and the Vigilantes of Love, pretty much anything on Bloodshot Records. There is tons of this stuff. I've also been into old hippie country weirdness like The Flying Burrito Brothers. -d |

I got to work with Billy Joe Shaver last year as one of Robbie Fulks Secret Country series. He's as real as country gets. He's even missing fingers. Won't see him on CMT any time soon. -d |

Check out: No Justice Wade Bowen Randy Rogers Band Kevin Fowler Pat Green It's "red dirt", which is pretty much country vocals/songwriting over rock instrumentation/sounds/arrangements. Big fat kick drums. Les Pauls and Marshalls. Cowboy hats. It's good stuff. I also saw Gary Allan on tour this year - phenomenal show with excellent sound. He had a guy on guitar that used to play with Steve Earle. One Deluxe Reverb, cranked, with an old Strat and an R7 LP goltop. The dude smoked! |

Speaking of Robbie Fulks, go to his web site and find the story of when he was part of a substitute band backing a Garth Brooks tribute act. It's hilarious. Robbie Fulks also came up with the concept of the Fountains Of Wayne Hot Line. He later wrote a song about it. |
Dave Unger wrote on Sun, 09 September 2007 22:36 |
...Robbie is one hilarious dude. A lot of fun to work with. For these radio shows he does an interview section that is chock full of dry-as-bone humor. If you think you hate Nashville, you havn't met Robbie! |

Fountains of Wayne Hot Line! LOL! I love crazy $h1+ like that! Hey, does Stacy's mom ever answer the hotline? "Sir, calm down, we can help you." |

Hey, what about Ragweed? Nobody likes CCR? I thought they were red dirt. And what about Reckless Kelly, Cory Morrow, Jason Boland... Of course I'm also "Keen" on "The Road Goes On Forever And The Party never Ends." Plus a little Shaver and Coe. Heck, even Dierks Bentley is a big improvement over Tim McGraw's whimpering. |

You know, I really liked CCR until I saw them live. They were somewhat less-than-professional in their presentation. I was certain that what I was seeing was in fact a local bar band doing decent covers of my favorite Ragweed songs. . |
Dave Unger wrote on Mon, 10 September 2007 12:18 | ||||
You probably saw Creedence Clearwater Revistited which features the original drummer and bass player. They ARE a cover band. John Fogarty WAS CCR. His solo stuff rocks. Blue Boon Swamp anyone? |

It is also in Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. I heard that the band is not actually named after the river, but three of the band members, named Cross, Canada, and Rag-something. |

I would hate to be named Ragweed. It must cause a lot of hassle at the border. Or a traffic stop. |
