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.

Go Cat Go - Please Mama Please

Hope you called whoever you call mama. Here’s another Mom song, which happens to be one of the finest contemporary* rockabilly tracks you’ll ever hear. Read the story of Go Cat Go here.

*It’s already “vintage” since it was recorded in ‘92.

Johnny Paycheck - I’ve Seen Better Days

I played the George and Tammy version on my radio show, but don’t have a real copy of it here. The Paycheck version is just as good, if not better.

Edit: I think this just shot up into the top 100 country songs of all time I’ve slooooowly got going in my head.
