You know, Country & Western!

This ain't your Dad's country music. It's your Granddad's! None of that new Nashville bullshit either. This is where you'll find what I consider the best in Country (Classic and Alt), Folk, and Americana.

 

A rare Monday night out took me to the Rock Shop in Brooklyn to see the Gowanus All-Stars. Like the bill says, country-rock and cosmic american music - heard some Gram Parsons, Tom T. Hall (which was totally weird because that’s was the exact guy in my head at that moment), Guy Clark and unexpected stuff like James Taylor, which was actually made listenable, and countrified Alice Cooper. The pedal steel player was really good - enough to dredge up the old “I need to get one of those and learn to play it” feelings.
All around good time. Will see again.
