I'm gonna have to listen to it all the way through soon. I liked Stoney Larue a lot in high school but burned myself out on him with the Red Dirt Album since it took him like 6 years to come out with anything new other than Oklahoma Breakdown. I do like Look at Me Fly and Velvet, though.
juosh abbott was he played every song off his last album, alll of his popular older songs, and two songs he hasn't released yet (one of which he hasn't played anywhere until tonight ) motherfuck i'm drunk doesn't matter had sex
taking a girl to a josh abbott concert is the best thing you can do if you want to have sex at the end of the night especially when he plays songs like these i'm not his biggest fan, but i will take a girl to his concert anytime he's around he actually said if you're not taking a girl home tonight it's your own fault
New song from Turnpike's upcoming album. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/hear-turnpike-troubadours-roadhouse-ready-down-here-20150707
Posted a few songs from my buddies band, Shane Smith and the Saints, before in here. Their second album, Geronimo, comes out in September, and here's a song from it. http://www.texasmusicpickers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/03_Oil-Town.mp3
Can we have a Ryan Bingham discussion? I discovered him on my own right after Mescalito came out when some folks on a music message board I read at the time recommended it. It seemed my style so I bought it without hearing a note. I remember where I was when I first put it in my car CD player and promptly fell in love with it. Still one of my favorite records...ever. Since then it's been nothing but weak, weak stuff. And a lot of Mescalito was written years prior to its release. Even the most recent one, when it first came out, I had convinced myself it was the best one since Mescalito, but here we are August and I never find myself going back to it. I've seen him three times and enjoyed myself every time, but the highlights of the show are all tracks from the first album. What I'm wondering is this: Is he very talented as a songwriter? God I'd love to be wrong.
I think he's clearly a talented songwriter, I'm just not sure he's been able to adjust to basically a new life, and tie that into his songs as much as he was able to growing up. "Broken Heart Tattoos" is probably the best example of him being able to do that on the new one, writing it after talking with his wife about having kids. Such a huge change from growing up homeless, bouncing around Texas living out of a pickup truck and living the rodeo life to where he is now. Living in California instead of Texas, actually having a house for the first time, all the attention from "The Weary Kind" that he didn't seem to want, and then his parents dying. Think all of that made it hard to write and hard to relate to what he was living. To me, living in a airstream trailer in the middle of nowhere California to write Fear and Saturday was as close as he could get to his earlier life circumstances, and it resulted in his strongest album since, and one that he was able to tie his life into. Could be completely off base, but that's my take on it.
Not digging that on first listen but I've come around on songs before. Looking forward to their new album, really enjoyed their first one. Thanks for posting.
Came here to post that. I have a link so suck it. https://play.google.com/store/music...ke_Troubadours?id=B6ycfsty7rwo6hvf6ykzw2pksua
American Aquarium playing On 3rd and Lindsley at 9:30est http://lightning100.com/listenlive2.html also some kid is opening up right now
American Aquarium Celebrate Anniversary of ‘Burn.Flicker.Die’ The Album That Was Supposed to Be Their Last by Buddy Logan August 25, 2015 1:38 PM Three years ago, today, American Aquarium released “Burn.Flicker.Die.” They had planned on it being their final work, but as it turns out the band was just a sold-out album release party away from reinvigorating their career. American Aquarium commemorated the now non-anniversary of their, then, final album release, with the following post to Facebook: Three years ago to the day we released Burn.Flicker.Die to a sold out crowd at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh,NC. This was supposed to be the last record this band every made. This night in particular marked a turning point in our career. It proved to us that people cared about the music we make. We aren’t for everyone, but for those that use our music as the soundtrack to their everyday lives, you are the reason we are still here, making records and playing shows. We are living proof that hard work and honest songs have a place in this world. Here’s to the underdogs out there. Keep fighting. So let’s go back. Back to when the North Carolina based band released “Burn.Flicker.Die.” It was August 25, 2012, and it marked the sixth album in seven years for BJ Barham and the boys. A daunting workload for any band, and this was on top of heavy touring. With just a regional, although very dedicated, fan-base at the time, who could blame the guys for hanging it up, and getting nine-to-five jobs. Thank the good Lord they didn’t do that. After getting in with Red Dirt stalwarts Jason Boland, and Turnpike Troubadours, who helped introduce American Aquarium music to our scene, they were able to tap into a whole new region — one rich with folks hungry for their signature honest-rock-infused-country anthems. Since 2012 the guys have been touring, and hard. Not only in Texas and up and down the East Coast, but throughout the U.S., and people are responding. They began opening up for and becoming friends with some of Red Dirt’s most iconic singers and bands (Boland, Turnpike, Cody Canada). They started getting radio play. Fast forward to 2015. This year marks a decade together for American Aquarium, and it’s also the year they released their most important album to date. Not only has “Wolves” received rave reviews from Rolling Stone, our website, and many other major national publications, it’s grown the band’s fan base exponentially. And call me selfish, but hopefully it’s guaranteed us at least a few more albums from American Aquarium. In hindsight, it might’ve been more appropriate to title the album “Burn.Flicker.Inferno.” Happy non-breaking up anniversary, guys! Hear the show that was supposed to be their last album release, in it’s entirety, here.
He was awesome. Played about an hour and a half, straight through instead of taking a break then coming back with an encore. Tons of energy, played everything I was looking forward to hearing, and took a couple requests from the crowd. Seems like a really nice guy too. Little girl in the crowd had a sign saying her favorite song was Getaway Truck, and he brought her on stage for it and let her sit on the side for the rest of the show.
Just met Corb Lund at a record label opening party. He had a Turnpike Troubadours shirt on and we talked about how great they are /csb
listened to it a few times today. so far my first impressions are that the best songs are: 1. the bird hunters 2. ringing in the year 3. down here 4. long drive home seems a little more melancholy and almost wistful than their previous two albums. love the bossier city and easton and main re-cuts though.
Off the top of my head, Here's what I remember him playing. Freight Train July in Cheyenne Summertime Girl Raise Your Bottle That Look Love Makin' Song Barbed Wire Halo Getaway Truck 3rd Gear and 17 Fence Post Baby Blues
Looks good. Hope he adds Reckless to end the show. Freight Train is becoming one of my favorite songs on his latest album.
Saw Bingham last night. Was really great, although I swear he has a new band playing with him every time I see him. New guys could play though, especially the dude on the fiddle. Setlist: Dollar A Day Top Shelf Drug Tell My Mother I Miss Her So Depression Radio Bluebird Long Way From GA Hallelujah The Weight (With opener Jamestown Revival) Guess Whose Knockin' Sunrise Hard Times My Diamond is Too Rough Never Far Behind Southside of Heaven Encore: The Poet (Solo acoustic) Nobody Knows My Trouble (Solo acoustic) Every Wonder Why (Solo acoustic) Sunshine (Full band) Bread & Water (Full band)
Thought the same thing on Wednesday night. That was the fourth time I've seen him and the third different band he's had, though this one was really good. He played nearly the same set as you got except replace "The Weight" with "Atlantic City" and Terry Allen's "There Oughta Be a Law Against Sunny Southern California."
Jamestown Revival opened for Bingham last night. I'm apparently way behind the times on this, but they killed it. Really good sound. Setlist (First few aren't in order my phone deleted the first few): Radio Bluebird Top Shelf Drug Tell My Mother I Miss Her So Dollar A Day Depression Hallelujah Atlantic City There Oughta Be A Law Against Sunny Guess Who's Knockin' Sunrise Country Roads Diamond Is Too Rough Hard Times Southside of Heaven The Weight - Had the whole damn city of Nashville on stage Encore: Ever Wonder Why Sunshine Bread and Water One of the best shows I've ever been to. An insane amount of energy for a Monday night. Guys who saw him recently did he have the old man playing fiddle?
Yup. Dude was awesome. Arguably my favorite band he's played with, right up there with the original Dead Horses (Corby, Paw Paw, Elijah Ford). I thought it was one of the best shows I've seen in 2015. (I liked Jamestown Revival, as well.)
