And about half of everything else he's done. Love Jason Isbell. "Sharecropper eyes"--hell of an image.Quote:

"If We Were Vampires" amazing lyrics. He's awesome. Band kills.Quote:

Excellent guitar player too. Saw him in Reno some years ago, after he had huge success with Southeastern, and was shocked he didn't sell out the venue.
We saw him and 400 Unit this summer, and at the Sheryl Crow Austin City Limits Hall of Fame Induction a couple weeks ago. Top talent, and hilarious and cool on twitter. Accessible. He's an excellent player.Quote:

Sad cowboy songs. I heard the first one on the radio the other day, reminded me of the second.

Canadians both.
BTW, been watching Yellowstone. I have mixed feelings about it but the music is pretty darn good. Ryan Bingham has a part.
damn.
During my wannabe Hank Moody days this one was always at reach.Quote:

My Dad saw Gregson and Collister while on a business trip to DC in the early 80s, he bought their LP, which introduced me to this.

Made me think of this one, same artist

Cive Gresson sounds an awful lot like Richard Thomson--that and the subject of Home is Where the Heart is reminded me of this
Love RT and LT, lots of their songs (and his solo songs) fit this thread. And in fact, RT has two tracks on the album that has the Gregson/Collister song on it that I linked. Like this one, that just slays me.

Since we're going down the Brit folk pop rabbit hole . . .
Another classic of the beautifully sad
RIP Sandy Denny, because she didn't have much peace in her short life.
Really interesting, and tragic, bio.Quote:

Phil Elverum records as Mount Eerie. He put out an album in 2017 about his wife dying of cancer when their daughter was a year and a half old. The album is an emotional journey and not one I put on often because of the subject matter.

His wife, Geneviève Castrée, was an artist in her own rightincluding writer/illustrator. I knew that she had worked on a children’s book for their daughter after the cancer diagnosis, I did not know that it had been published.
I let my son pick books each week from the library. We come home with a stack and read a new book each day. Sometimes there are surprises and lessons to be learned but today’s took me by surprise. Call it lack of sleep or vulnerability while in my son’s nursery.

Just wow. Yeah, it’s a TikTok fad hit, but jebus does it nail depression, on so many levels, from lyrics to production:

God dam this song can get me.
So good.

Same simple chord progression, and if you can play and sing both of these two songs, your odds of getting laid are pretty good.

Every now and then I need to hear this.
How has this thread evaded me all these years? So many compelling songs and interpretations.
Back on page four (Bonnie Raitt & John Prine) ... one of the best versions of Angel from Montgomery. This one is a bit different (Tedeschi and Trucks) - Susan weaves into a chorus of Sugaree toward the end, and Derek's solo is out of this world:

One page back (Richard and Linda Thompson - Dimming of the Day). Bonnie Raitt commented that when she sings this song it has to be the last one of the evening, as she's totally spent after that.
Speaking of Richard Thompson (simple boy meets girl story ... complicated by a motorcycle):

OK, it's really long, but I think it's worth it.
