Am I late to the Zac Brown & Jamey Johnson party?

the guitar song is one my 2010 favorites. if you havn,t listened to steve earl he's great too. thanks john

i think his latest is townes. tribute to townes van zant, his mentor. if you like tvz it;s good. different than his rocking hardcore troubador stuff. s.e. became popular with copperhead road too. but that was a long time ago. it is really good. but i like everything he's ever done.

slaid cleves, ryan bingham, gurf morlix, ray wylie hubbard and others. there is alot of really good americana artists out there. dave alvin [ of x and the blasters] is one of my favorites. ccr just announced they were off the road for a while after 10 plus years. their music is great. i just found a band named centro-matic. really good stuff. btw,,don imus has some really good artists on his show. and good authors. he's a cranky crumudgeon but that.s his act.

hard to beat the icon john fogerty. he was great at the super bowl or was it the college bcs bowl a few years ago? i read that he got reexcited about playing and would spend all day doing guitar exercises to tune up. this dedication at his talent level is admirable. he said in an interview that before returning to guitar he flew his plane the same way... all the time getting better. when i wrote ccr i was mentioning a band from oklahoma named cross canadian ragweed for anyone interested. great sound and a great band. check them out if you are a fan of americana rock. there is so much music i can not get to. for some others check out itunes radio under country,,,bootlicqour radio or on sirius there is outlaw country. with pandora just type in a name of an artist you like and you will get many new names. before i got flooded with new artists to check out i used imesh for a while. you can listen to almost any cd before buying it. for 8 bucks a month it saved me 100s if not 1000s of dollars. there isn,t much good to come from our celebrity culture but the musicians who are driven to succeed is a great thing.

i use pandora for free to stream a genre i like.. on imesh for 8 dollars a month or a few more for premium you can download the whole cd or a song. millions of em. every once in a while find something that is not available. if you buy then you keep it and can put it on a ipod etc or disc. i just rent the use tho. as long as you keep current with the 8 bucks you can play anything you chose. when signing up look around and see if you can unchoose the social experience part so the annoying pop up won,t tell you there are annoying friends out there. this aspect is worthless but this started as a peer to peer deal before they went legit and is still part of their deal. sound quality is below 200kbs so it is not for the best sq needs. but to preview new things and see if it is worth buying imesh is a good tool.

sounds great on mine too.
