Listening to the new Son Volt album and loving it!

Son Volt:  [Honky Tonk]

Product Description:

From his earliest recordings in the 1990s as a founding member of Uncle Tupelo, Jay Farrar has been a keen observer of the American landscape: its beauties and its tragedies, salvations and poisons. His two-decades of touring and travel as the leader of Son Volt as well as a solo artist have deepened and sharpened his gift for capturing the sights and sounds of his American journey a gift which is in evidence once again on Son Volt s sixth studio album: 'Honky Tonk.' Excavating, distilling and reimagining the classic honky tonk sound of Bakersfield (along with the influence of Tennessee and Texas), the music on this album is about heartache, but there s also optimism and perseverance. Pedal steel guitar and twin fiddles anchor a timeless music, in which the clear hard truths of the lyrics mine the emotional complexities of life and love, making 'Honky Tonk' a landmark on a continuing journey.

Southern Culture On The Skids:  [Countrypolitan Favorites]

Product Description:

Since 1985, Southern Culture On The Skids have brought their chicken flingin' trashabilly antics to every nook and cranny of the US of A and beyond, playing classic originals like Eight Piece Box and Camel Walk while tearing up the stage, leaving behind nothing but a trail of pudding, crushed KFC boxes, and endless broken hearts. Now, with Countrypolitan Favorites, SCOTS are giving us a glimpse into their private record collections by compiling 15 one of a kind covers, recorded at singer Rick Miller's Kudzu Ranch recording studio. From Mary Huff's sultry take on Funnel of Love (made famous by Wanda Jackson), to Miller's version of the Don Gibson classic, Oh Lonesome Me, and their swingers-on-the-rocks duet, Let's Invite Them Over (an Onie Wheeler original), SCOTS have recorded what might be the definitive countrypolitan soundtrack to a life lived on the skids.

If Love Was  Train- Michelle Shocked 

No problem ld.  How's it going?

I am a helluva lot better than I was last week. I had two sinus infections and a viral infection in my eye. doc had me come in for three straight days of iv antibiotics. It was no bueno. Better now though. When I initially went to the doc they misdiagnosed the eye thing so I was putting drops in it that actually made it worse. Once the eye doc got ahold of me he set it right in about 5 days. Nice to have both eyes back, because I was so light sensitive that I was wearing an eye patch for about a week. Arrrrgh!(that's my pirate impression)

Other than that, all good! How's everything with you buddy?

LOVE this song! From my favorite album of all time, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. 

It's in my top 5.  It was the first album I ever bought with my own money.  I wore it out.  It was one of the first CDs I ever purchased, as well.

Stumbling In The Dark- The Jayhawks

"Elton John" was one of the first records I bought, in 1970.  I'd heard Your Song alot obn the radio and thought it was OK.  Then I heard Take Me To The Pilot on a S.F.  AM radio station and went straight out and plunked down $2.99.  Full price, not on sale...
