What did you listen to today?

Yeah. After seeing Roger Waters live I am kinda of the position that I prefer my rock music sans politics. I stay well informed and act when possible for the causes for which I care. I want my music as an escape, not perseveration. If you’re going to write a protest song, at least make it slap like this:

Starting the day with some Bela & The Flecktones

For those of you who bitched about DeadCo playing too slowly - this is for you, bless your pointed little heads...

WSP & DIPA kinda afternoon

Chris Stapleton is at the top of his game. His new album "Higher" is a masterful blend of country, soul, and blues that showcases his remarkable vocal range. His voice, gritty and soulful, is the star of the show.

The instrumentation in "Higher" is equally impressive. Stapleton's guitar skills shine, complemented by rich, organic arrangements that include elements of blues and Southern rock.

The album is introspective and heartfelt, exploring themes of love, loss, and redemption. Stapleton’s storytelling is vivid and engaging, drawing listeners in.

"Higher" is a powerful statement from one of Americana music's most distinctive voices. It's an album that solidifies Chris Stapleton's place among the greats in the genre, offering a collection of songs that are both deeply personal and universally relatable.

Sue Foley's new album Live in Austin Volume 1 just recorded in May. Features this and Chauffeur Blues that were on her 1992 debut "Young Girl Blue" on Antone's.

I'll withhold comment until you all have a chance to weigh in

Posting because I know how many of you love Willie Nelson : ) His 90th birthday special aired last night. It was awesome. Special guests included Keith Richards (Happy Birthday Keith, 80 years young) and Snoop Dogg. Willie has some interesting friends.

"It was a great show but they cut Bob Weir out of it..."


Yes they did. Dolly Parton and Lyle Lovett wound up on the cutting room floor too. I'm still hoping for an extended version or "Director's cut".
