| Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80? @devinplombier I’d like to think so. As we age, our perspective changes and it’s only natural to seek out art that speaks to us at each new stage. Well, for some, at least. A lot of people seem to stick solely with whatever they liked in high s... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @rcd5050 +1 I've become a huge fan, to my surprise. I only discovered her a short time ago and have bought three cds. The topics she writes about resonate with me and even more so, the way her lyrics underscore the often paradoxical nature of h... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @tomic601 "Checking attention span"... hah! I appreciate a little humor to kick off the day ;o) @bdp24 "Entertainer" explains a lot. "Lap dancer", I can’t personally attest to. | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @grislybutter Me too-- east of Sacramento, in the Sierra foothill | |
| Where are the front men? (Rant) @n80 I hope you mean "watching", as that particular video shows the band at its best! ;o) | |
| Heroku? @jastralfu Thanks for the explanation! | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @mahgister You seem to be saying there exists a sort of Jazz "blueprint" that has been absorbed/integrated into many other genres, worldwide. You also seem to acknowledge that these other genres have, in turn, influenced Jazz. What, so far as I... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @grislybutter No; we don't have a choice. You live there, currently? | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @grislybutter Seems to me you’re being awfully hard on yourself! Thanks for explaining what you meant by "labored". I wouldn’t say you weren’t making any sense. I didn’t understand your use of the word labored. Having said that, there are peop... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @grislybutter To me, Shania Twain is one of the inventor’s of modern country (but she is good. she did it with substance). By now, modern country is a cliche, zero substance, lots of empty "feelings" I mentioned her because when she started, s... | |
| Where are the front men? (Rant) @n80 I'm familiar with some of those particularly Stapleton. Will look into the others. I guess my rant has more to do with brand new stuff. Got it. If you are not familiar with Black Pumas, their studio stuff pales by comparison with their l... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @grislybutter Did you see my comment about how she defined her sound? "Rock-tinged Country". I hear quite a bit of Rock influence in her music and she has pointed out that Tom Petty and Springsteen are as important to her sound as Classic Count... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @mahgister Jazz is the only language becoming universal by virtue of his improvising syntax set of rules integrating all instruments and music styles slowly but surely ... I'm confused. There are plenty of other genres that incorporate improv... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @bdp24 Perhaps instead of using the term Southern, "rural" is more of what I'm taking about. Sure. Makes sense to me. Considering that list, the idea that Canadians should not be included is beyond absurd. I will restrain myself (with diff... | |
| Where are the front men? (Rant) @n80 There are notable male vocalists with distinctive voices but, I'm guessing, not of the "swaggering" variety. Four that come to mind -- none of them Rock: Nathaniel Rateliff of N.R. and the Night Sweats Chris Stapleton Eric Burton of ... |
