Sorry for your loss. Great song.My grandfather passed away last week. This song always reminded me of him, and has always been one of my favorites. May he Rest In Peace.

I am sorry for your loss. I love this song. I have always been partial to the original by Townes Van Zandt.My grandfather passed away last week. This song always reminded me of him, and has always been one of my favorites. May he Rest In Peace.

Saw him a couple years ago in Savannah. His voice isn't as strong as it once was but his guitar is still great. His son, Lukas played with him that show and I'm pretty sure he will carry on the legacy. His take on "Georgia" is inspired.Happy birthday to the Red-Headed Stranger. Unbelievable that he is still writing music and touring at 85. My first concert with my dad almost 40 years ago. We sat right up front and he played all my favorite tunes, with Emmy Lou singing back up on many.

Interesting. That is exactly why I like it. its even more out of time live...it is very odd...but somehow just right?I wish I liked WIllie's playing because I do like a lot of his songs. But I find his guitar playing unlistenable. It's nails on a chalkboard for me. It's always out of time to the point of sounding like he's doing some kind of abstract performance art thing.
I’ve never considered that, but can understand how his style might be annoying. I’m like Swanson though, I love the way he alters tempos with his guitar and singing. I absolutely love the sound of his guitar, although part of that is nostalgia due to my dad also playing a Martin and trying to copy Willies sound.I wish I liked WIllie's playing because I do like a lot of his songs.

Went on a deep YouTube rabbit hole dieselhed trip the other night. Their live videos are so poorly recorded, it hurts..but it brought me back to how fun they were live. One show, two guys are playing chess during the gig, incorporating it into the show. so stupid, but somehow worked.Country is definitely not my world... but I went through a period where I kinda liked some cow-punky outfits like the mekons, but especially the SF band Dieselhed (mid 90s).

Hashbrowns

there were a fantastic band live- lots of lyric improv, great harmonies, bizarre multi-instrumentalists (drummer played trumpet)
Alt-Alt-Alt CountryAnd no mention of that sturgill Simpson album?
Is it good? I've not gotten around to it yet but its on the list.And no mention of that sturgill Simpson album?

I like, but Sturgill didn't put any country into this one. Its good old American rock music.El Floppo said:Getting a lot of love in the best albums of 2019 thread
I had no idea who he was until this album was talked about in the thread. Too country in the vocal stylings for my long term liking.I like, but Sturgill didn't put any country into this one. Its good old American rock music.
Take out the synths and Mercury in Retrograde would fit right into Metamodern Sounds in Country Music. That’s the one song that I can feel that influence in. Anyway, I’d have probably been happy for Sturgill to make 10 more outlaw country records, so it’s a minor miracle I still like what he’s done instead.I like, but Sturgill didn't put any country into this one.
