    I like it but Cooley's voice is definitely hurting and it does have more of a Patterson feel to it. Sounds a good bit like Fourth Night of My Drinking to be honest.

    Watched Jay Farrar play Son Volt's 'Trace' in its entirety tonight, plus some extra Son Volt stuff. So damn good.

    Unpopular opinion: Chris Stapleton does absolutely nothing for me. In fact I find his music kind of annoying.

    Paint by numbers songwriting is how he was described to me by someone. I agree for the most part but do like some of the album.

    Here's the thing, and this will sound hipster of me, but when "Traveller" first came out and very few people knew about it, I thought it was better than Sturgill's "Metamodern." Great songs from start to finish. Then the Timberlake appearance happened and the rest is history. I went to one of his shows a couple months ago and it was all the Jason Aldean, Sam Hunt, etc. crowd, which was a major turn-off for me. Then apparently he's now selling out to beer companies and such on social media. He went from a quasi "savior of country music" to another waxy, commercial act almost overnight.

    I don't think it was an accident this bearded "outsider" won all the awards at the country shows this year. Someone saw he's a talented guy, and marketed him as not one of the bros. Good for him, whatever, get money.

    I just don't enjoy his voice which seems to be his big selling point for most. Maybe I need to do a front to back album listen.

    Stapleton era Steeldrivers is how I was introduced to him, and that is some of the best music I've heard in a long time.

    I've given up on worrying about what type of people listen to the music I like, and just enjoyed the music. Fire Away is a fantastic song.

    Been really digging Traveler lately. Didn't give it a proper listen until recently. Love this song.

    Stapleton played a bunch of Steeldrivers when I saw him in Athens. Wish he'd play more, even though I love the Traveller songs.

    Was at a wedding in a small town in Utah this weekend. There was a little 3-man band (guitar, violin, drums) that played before the rehearsal dinner on Friday night and they opened with Cover Me Up. They immediately made a fan and got a nice tip.

    This was fucking amazing.

    So amazing in fact that I ripped the audio, then divided it into tracks to make an album out of it.
    If anyone is interested in that, let me know and I'll drop box it

    Not really, because it wasn't just grabbing at current events like this.
    Like I said, good song, but I'd rather it not mention Obama or allude to Mike Brown and Trayvon. Just seems kinda tacky

    What are you guys talking about? Puttin' People on the Moon is just a good old yarn about a guy enamored by space travel. Sink Hole is about a dude with grading problems on his property. The Three Great Alabama Icons is simply a reference to some cool dudes, just like The Southern Thing is about feeling good about your roots. The Buford Stick is about how adept law enforcement is, and Uncle Frank is a tale about a guy living the good life with no interference whatsoever.

    If I recall correctly, Patterson wrote the song a week after the whole Ferguson ordeal so I don't think it's forced because that was how he felt at the time. If DBT has ever been anything, it's honest song writers

    I respect that, Steve. Different strokes. I was actually hoping they would return to more politically charged songwriting because it makes their music angrier and they've been a little tamer in recent albums.
