Corb Lund:Hard on Equipment

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!
 
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."
 
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!
 
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.
