My wife went to high school with the lead singer of Cooder Graw. We saw them play in Amarillo at a private party, and he was trying to chat her up after every set.

If I hadn’t been so enamored with live music and talking to the other band members, I might have been pissed.

I’m glad to see Steve Earle got some recognition earlier in the thread. I consider everything after Coppperhead Road to be of a different era, not necesarilly bad, but an incredible deviation. I feel that Exit 0 was absolutely brilliant, but you will likely never hear it mentioned in a discussion of best country albums, much less best overall albums, where it sits in my book.

I actually saw Steve Earle last year, and got to talk to him for a bit after the show. There were about a handful of us that went to his bus for pictures and what not. Seemed like a pretty good guy. He had lost an incredible amount of weight since they made the documentary on him a few years earlier. However, I think he should have used a better nutrition plan for his “cut”, becasue it seemed as though he had lost some muscle mass as well.

This is me and Matt Martin. I don’t know him, but I did get to meet him. Kinda like you I was “enamored” with talking to the band.

HAHHAHA!

That’s some funny shit. But I’ll reluctantly admit to singing parts of “me and my gang” while I was at work the other day. Nobody was around, I was safe

i agree

Good stuff, and good to see country fans about.

I’d add Junior Brown - best live act I have ever seen.

Oh, and if you like Waylonesque country, consider a band out of Alabama called the Skeeters. They got a nice sound, lead singer is a throwback, and the guitarist has an Allman-Brothers-jam-band background, so the live stuff is good.

Oh, and Rainjack - you drink Jim Beam with water? Sissy. ;>

If you ever saw me drink it you’d be glad I had water mixed in there. I don’t sip the shit.

But since last October when this thread began I have converted to Wellers and water.

Weller’s - nice.

I’ve never had wellers. I’ve seen it but never paid it any attention. What kind of whiskey is it, and where is it made?

Kentucky Bourbon. Smoother than Beam.

Have you Guy’s ever heard Chris Wall, he’s got kind of a retro-Honky Tonk sound.

I can only listen to Mainstream Cuntry Radio for a little while before it starts pissing me off.

Ironically the local Public Radio has some cool Alt-Country/Honky Tonk programs…they like to throw in some old school Western as well.

74

I am starting to get into Blue Grass.

Some of the new blue grass bands have an almost punk rock edge.

75

Marty Robbins was pre-outlaw but he is one of my favorites.

“El Paso” and “Big Iron” still give me goosebumps.

76

As a side note: The 8th of November by Big and Rich is the best country song I’ve heard on the radio for a long time. It’s just awesome.

77

another pic from the show.

I have drank beer with Montgomery Gentry,these guys are hilarious, they brought there guitars out after a show and partied with us.I sat on the stage with Pat Green, after taking him drummer to guitar center for some sticks, and discussed the trials and tribulations of being married and on the road, and sucked down cool Bud lights with Charlie Robison, while discussing the fine aspects of hunting deer and drinking beer in the bars of Bandera.

Does anyone remember the profesional wrestler that became a country singer? He only had 2 or 3 hits, any ways he played at the local livestock show and rodeo, and after the show he came out to our camp and was drinking beer, after a while he run off to the porta can to take a piss about 15 minutes later he came out with this guys chick. They started argueing and the ex wrestler / country singer kicked this dudes ass in the parking lot of the rodeo grounds.

79

I’ve seen these guys open for David Allan Coe and Shooter Jennings and they kick some serious ass. All of them are fuckin cool down to earth dudes that love their music. Unfortunately I missed their Tribute to Waylon Jennings that they did on Waylon’s birthday but I heard that it was phenomenal. The first time I saw them they covered Buck Owens’ “Act Naturally” and I have been a fan ever since.

Check out the Lonesome Onry and Mean and their original track Goodbye Dixie track they have on their page.

Y’all need to listen to khyi 95.3 the Range. It is an awesome radio station in the DFW area that plays real country, not that pop stuff you hear on other stations. I think you can listen to it on the internet for all you who are not blessed to be in Texas.
