Psyched for Isbell

New Old 97s album is good. There's a stronger country feel to several songs than I've heard from them before. "She Hates Everybody" is my current favorite

 

Hah it was fascinating. I feel better for having heard it.

The thing that makes Cash work for me is he will talk but he'll transition seamlessly in and out of singing as fits the song. "A Boy Named Sue" as probably the archetypal example.

The last two have felt like (admittedly interesting) stabs for variety and pop cred. So a bit of a return is nice.

 

Goddamn, the new John Moreland record is something special.

 

Excited to hear that one for sure.

He was great last September in Detroit

 

Dude I actually kinda loved this lol

 

"Beat Up Bible" has become another favorite of mine; I love how her voice drops off singing "in this beat up biiiibblllee" at the end of the first chorus, around 2:10 into the song - so beautiful

 

New Justin Townes Earle album "Kids in the Street" coming May 26!

Justin Townes Earle: Kids In The Street Preorder on PledgeMusic

 

Nice. Haven't listened one of his records since Harlem River Blues

 

In my opinion nothing he's done since then has been as good as that album, but still some solid songs.

 

There's some good stuff scattered throughout the double album.

 

Another new tune from Andrew Combs

 

digging the new justin townes earle for sure.

 

Joshua James has a new album "My Spirit Sister" out April 7th.

 

Some stuff I've gotten into lately, tho I'm sure everyone else here is already familiar ha.

 

Come play.

Album - Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit - The Nashville Sound (June 16, 2017)

 

Just started listening to John Moreland's High on Tulsa Heat. Holy shit, this record is great. Idk why I was sleeping.

 

At least you're right on time for the new one.

 

I like "It Don't Suit Me (Like Before)", doesn't stray too far from anything on High

 

The album isn't a huge departure, but it's definitely a different kind of record for him. High on Tulsa Heat is one of the saddest records in the world to me. Just so heavy all the way through. This one isn't exactly happy, but there are more upbeat tracks where he really locks into a cool groove with the full band. (Though there are still some great ballads, too.)

 

I like the lead single so far!

 

Sidenote: We're getting new Stapleton, Moreland, and Isbell in the space of a month and a half. What did we do to deserve this windfall?

 

Don't forget Justin Townes Earl!

 

The new Hurray for the Riff Raff is so good.

 

And that Dave Cob-produced Zac Brown Band. You heard the singles off that yet? Curious what you think!

 

I was under the impression we were getting a new Isbell solo record, not a 400 unit full band release. Is he also writing for a new solo record or is this it?
