Rocking out in car line to some Son Volt today. Damn their first couple albums were so good.

Yes I said rocking out…my kids would be so ashamed

Waxahatchee - Tigers Blood album is in my most listened to this year list. Beautiful songs. Her Tiny Desk set went live this week and is worthy of a view:

Trivia point - That's Jeff Tweedy's son Spencer on the drums!

[SKT]

@IH-GARY I’m looking forward to watching this. I absolutely loved St Cloud and listened to her duet with MJ Lenderman non stop this past year. I need to spend more time with Tigers Blood as a whole. And I think Spencer is a fantastic drummer…he has a feel

I kind of went on a Son Volt bender last night and was reminded how amazing Eric Haywood’s pedal steel playing is. I’ve seen him live many times with various acts and his playing always stood out to me. Richard Buckner did an entire album covering the poetry of Edgar Lee Masters called The Hill and I got to see him perform it in an intimate setting when it released (back in the day) and Haywood’s performance was incredible. Anyway here’s a cool little interview with him. He’s played on some great records…

@SKT we love Son Volt and everything in that network of alt country. Good call on the steel.

@Matt and anyone else you shared my annoyance at this one not being on Spotify

Fantastic! Thank you.

Curious as to how the guitar players in this thread rate him.

[SKT]

@Jett129 I’m a shit electric player but I think he sounds pretty good and they’re definitely having fun. I’m more enamored with the 3 distinct hair styles on display and cousin Ramone on the Hofner

I revisit this one from time to time - every one of these guys is freakishly talented

[SKT]

@GraemeE that’s fantastic. I’m always in awe of Chris Thile’s talent and I love Critter too. Here’s another…Nickel Creek’s Tiny Desk. The last instrumental song is a favorite of mine

@scooter to me he was always just the guy who sang the wonder years theme song and " up where we belong" until I watched the documentary a few years ago....gained a new respect after learning more about his career

[mclaincausey]

Love Joe Cocker. Mad Dogs & Englishmen live album gets many spins, as we also love Leon Russell.

[Jett129]

Great solo by Derek Trucks. I definitely don't know who every one on stage is?

[Matt]

Watching Yacht Rock.

[Matt]

And it was awesome.

[GraemeE]

@Matt agree 100%
