Re: Yee-Haw!!! Any fans of Country and Western music?
I heard a few snippets of Guy Clark's new album on NPR yesterday. It sounded quite lovely. I'm not very familiar with his ouevre, though I'm a fan of various musicians he's influenced. Any recommendations?

I just heard the new Guy Clark recording, "My Favorite Picture of You," and highly recommend it.
I also listened again to the latest release by West Texas singer/songwriter Terry Allen, which is really good. It was his first release in 14 years and came out to little fanfare, even less than the new Guy Clark. Definitely worth hearing, as are most of the earlier Terry Allen releases.

I didn't know it, but Guy Clark visited Alaska in 2003 and played at Alice's Chamgagne Palace in beautiful Homer, south of Anchorage on Kachemak Bay. The following video is from that October 2003 performance. There are more at YouTube.

Re: Yee-Haw!!! Any fans of Country and Western music?
I like country. If you're a guitar player you can't really escape it. I've grown to appreciate the story-telling as well. I wasn't overly enthused with Isbell's first couple solo albums away from DBT but his latest sounds real good.

You can count me in as C&W fan. Love the latest Guy Clark album and have been on a bit of a GC binge lately. And I've been using Spotify to explore the roots, for example the lineage that goes Hank Williams > George Jones > Merle.
And the Louvin Brothers are great. Gospel and non-gospel.

Via Guy Clark I came across a guy I hadn't heard of before, Shawn Camp. Good stuff. This song is from the new Guy Clark, co-written with Camp:

Edit: OK, how do you embed the YouTube videos? When I paste in the "embed" code from YouTube it just shows up as text.

Re: Yee-Haw!!! Any fans of Country and Western music?
Hey, Fred K, I looked up Terry Allen on YouTube. Love it! I'll be getting that new album, "Bottom of the World." Thanks!
Wikipedia informs me music is only one of his means of expression. His main gig is as a painter, and his work is in the collections of many important museums. Interesting guy!
On that new album he does "Queenie's Song," which he co-wrote with Guy Clark. Here's a clip where he describes the genesis of the song:

Re: Yee-Haw!!! Any fans of Country and Western music?
My first gigs as a professional drummer were with a 5-piece country swing band which featured a "monster" pedal steel player, Bobby Lyle. I don't follow c&w music much these days, but my wife & I really enjoyed Asleep At The Wheel when they visited us a few years ago. I felt an authenticity and ease with them. Sometimes, there are obvious jazz influences in their arrangements and playing/singing, an interesting side note. And they have fun!

Thanks for that clip, Brooks. Yeah, that's a very good band, with a "tasty" drummer, too.

Re: Yee-Haw!!! Any fans of Country and Western music?
Just watched Heartworn Highways again today with a friend new to it. What's not to love?! My intro to Larry Jon Wilson. Great stuff by LJW, Townes van Zandt, Guy Clark, Rodney Crowell, Steve Earle, John Hiatt, Steve Young… many more. Much amazing footage of the "outlaw country" scene from the mid 70s. Highly recommended.

Our friend Squaredancecalling Steve sent me this clip in an e-mail this morning. He knew I would enjoy the way guitarist Hank Garland rips on this classic.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
