An Outlaw Song from Colter Wall. And like him it’s Canadian.
This is Sturgill Simpson, definitely a hippie commie but he has some good songs.
Once again these are some species of hippie commies but the song is beautifully done.
A great song. Evokes a simpler time, a better time.
The Man in Black sings about the Man Upstairs. This was on the last album he recorded before he died.
Very apocalyptic.
Tyler Childers is probably some variety of hippie commie but he has some good songs including this murder ballad. I guess my advice to him would be shut up and sing.
“The raven is a wicked bird.”
Been a fan of Wall’s for four or five years. This is a good murder ballad.
These guys did a good job on this song.
I’m a fan of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s music. I really don’t know anything about the musicians; their politics, ethics or personal stories. I discovered them quite late in life. But I like some of their music.
I bought this album seven years ago and then didn’t listen to it until last year for reasons that I haven’t been able to remember. And when I did, I just added it to a large rotation of music tracks so that I never even noticed that the songs were by someone new. But today I played the album and said, “Hey I love this stuff!” So, I looked him up and found out his genre is considered “Americana.” I figure that means he doesn’t want to be called a country music singer because he’s a lefty and there’s more street cred with the hippies if you say you’re an Americana artist. Well since I couldn’t find any offensive lefty stuff on his website, I haven’t cast him into the outer darkness.
This guy writes most of his own stuff and it’s good. Stylistically, it’s all over the map. There’s blues, country, rock and roll, folk and a mixture of acoustic and electric instruments. He’s got sad songs and laments, comic songs and tales of the musician life. It’s really hard to pigeon hole him. His voice is a little ragged but definitely interesting.
He’s definitely not mainstream commercial country which for me is kind of a good thing. I’m going to have to get some of his other albums. I recommend this one for country music fans. Whether he’s filthy hippie or not is an open question. I’ll have to do more research.
