Corb Lund:Hard on Equipment

[Tom Dunlap]

Does anyone else enjoy Corb Lund? One of the best male Canadian musical exports since Bruce Cockburn or Neil Young!

I want to go to SXSW and hang out with you. We have similar taste in music. I was pretty jealous when you posted about going to see REK.

 

[Tom Dunlap]

Come down anytime!

For the price of a concert ticket you can pay the cover charge for 3-5 musicians here in Austin. Heck...sometimes free!

Truck got stuck!
Great music!!
Is there a way wee can share songs on the buzz?

 

[Tom Dunlap]

Do you mean a variation on Napster...Treester

Just toss up a YouTube link or their homepage.

Ahhhh...Gram Parsons/Emi Lou Harris just came on...what harmonies! The real origin of country-rock!

Heres the one.

Treester! Exactly.

To many good old tree songs with no videos.

One of my favorite tree songs and bands.

ooops this doesn't work very well.

 

[banjo]

This will work, different guy, he's unknown in a lot of circles, slightly different style but real good.

Not very good quality but you get the point.

I like that Lund song. Even included a bore cut on the drywall!

Here's one of my favorites and one of Cord's heroes:

Ian said a little grubby kid songwritter back in the early 60s played a song for him in The Kettle of Fish that sounded pretty good, and he said, "Hell, I could write a song like that!" He did, and the first song Ian ever wrote, Four Strong Winds, became a pretty good hit for him. He thought it'd be easy after that...

The little grubby kid was Bob Dillon, and the song he just wrote and played for Ian was "Blowin in the Wind."

RWH wrote 'Redneck Mother'...how would you like to get a royalty check like that?!

I do envy your being there in that music scene. However, my band out here in SoCal makes more money per night than we could back there. Not as many true Country and Western Swing groups out here.

I have a hard time describing the 'country' music that suits my ear. The easiest way that I've found is to say that 'it isn't Nashville pop country'

Red Dirt
Alt-country
Americana
Outlaw country
Texas country
Redneck rock

Tree work isn't a bad day gig for a musician. You do know that Willie worked for Asplundh...for a few days until his foreman thought that he should find a different way to make a living!

The Range, 95.3 in Dallas webcasts. The mid-day DJ is amazing! Jim observed once that The Range was one sure thing that he, our Dad and I could agree on 100%.

Look here for some good webcasts:

Boot Liquor is on most of the time

I have my iTunes on most of the time at home. Don't listen to regular "country" radio out here.

There is a good am station out in San Bernardino, but it doesn't come in well where I'm at. Thank God for iTunes, Youtube, and CDs!

I remember The Range from a few times I've been back to Fort Worth (where I grew up). Great stuff.
