I agree. I really like Moreland, especially his first two albums. But I wouldn’t rank it up there isbell
I really like Moreland but his voice sounds exactly like the guy singing the opening scene of Major Leage to me.
I didn't compare it to southeastern. I compared two albums that were released around the same time. I ended up listening to big bad luv more than Nashville sound. I just think it's better. This is coming from a guy that's been to 10 Isbell shows.
Saw him in Salt Lake City tonight for the 4th time. Just awesome. We were hoping Amanda would surprise us, but no luck.
I know there are some Tyler Childers fans in here.... he just won best new artist at the Americana Awards and have an awesome speech. I like this guy.
Listen to Black Magic on his first album. I thought it was Ryan Adams. Poison on that album is also amazing
Saw him live a few months ago and he was absolutely wasted. Couldnt understand him at all. A little disappointing since I love his music
I was skeptical of this guy, but I just listened to this song and it's pretty great. He even threw in a "love is hell" for good measure.
I was disappointed he only played an hour set when he played Tallahassee. He was def drunk but not that bad
i couldnt understand a single thing he said in person. might have been the audio+alcohol but it was still a letdown.
https://www.rollingstone.com/music/...les-as-drive-by-truckers-origin-story-726986/ Review: Adam’s House Cat’s ‘Town Burned Down’ Doubles as Drive-By-Truckers’ Origin Story Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley’s Eighties band was deeply indebted to R.E.M. and the Replacements while showing signs of future Southern-punk greatness. More than a decade before Drive-By Truckers released their first album, singer-songwriters Mike Cooley and Patterson Hood formed a fledgling North Alabama band called Adam’s House Cat. The group, which included Chuck Tremblay on drums and a revolving door of bassists, was more openly influenced by its mid-late 80’s indie contemporaries than the history-obsessed Truckers, who would take on more anachronistic subject matter when they began making their Skynyrd-obsessed Southern-punk later in the mid-late 90’s. Town Burned Down, the sole lost album from Adam’s House Cat that’s now being released for the first time, lays bare the band’s many influences. The 1990 LP offers a revealing glimpse into the type of music–primarily reverb heavy college rock–Cooley and Hood were most infatuated with as young twentysomething’s (Cooley was 19, and Hood, 21, when Adam’s House Cat band formed in 1985). The specter of bands like R.E.M., late-period Replacements, and even Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers loom large on Town Burned Down, which today sounds like a long-lost scrappy southern indie staple. The album, which features newly recorded vocals from Hood, also clearly marks both how much and how little the present-day Truckers, now in their third decade as a band, have progressed, matured and developed from their 80’s roots. “Runaway Train,” Adam’s House Cat’s long-lost single, comes as a minor revelation, a fast-paced mix of indie rock and proto-alt-country that displays Hood and Cooley’s early propensity for marrying deep personal drama (in this case, Hood’s parent’s divorce) with a hit single-worthy riff. “We can be singing the most painful song in the world,” Cooley would say of the Truckers years later, “And we’ll do it with a smile on our face.” Other highlights include the college-rock riffs of “Shot Rang Out” and “Long Time Ago.” Elsewhere, early, unrefined versions of Truckers staples “Buttholeville” and “Lookout Mountain” show how much their post-grunge power-riffs would eventually help accentuate the high-drama in Hood’s Southern gothic narratives. Taken as a whole, the album serves as proof of just how much, unconsciously or explicitly, Cooley and Hood’s sound would become subtly influenced by the rush of grunge that would hit in the years immediately following Adam’s House Cat, who called it quits in 1991. Mike Cooley, not yet a songwriter, serves merely as an accompanying guitarist on Town Burned Down. Carrying the album on his own, then, Hood offers a revealing look into his songwriting progression. His sense of melody and pop structure came shockingly full-formed in the late 80’s, but the stories he tells, centered primarily around young male aggression and dejection, lack the literary detail and character-based life-or-death grandeur that he would find just years later on songs like “The Living Bubba” and “18 Wheels of Love.” Nevertheless, Town Burned Down is a vital document of the early formulations of one of the most the singularly vital turn-of-the-century bands, a shrine to the Truckers’ indignant beginnings that sounds more at home today than it must have nearly 30 years ago.
Have a nice little run of shows coming up. 9/28--The Record Company(1st Avenue in Minneapolis) 9/29--Lucero(1st Avenue in Minneapolis) 10/15--moe.(Fargo Brewing Company) 10/21-The Dead South(The Sanctuary in Fargo) Plus a local band(Teenage Lobotomy) from back in the day(late 80's) is playing a reunion show in Fargo this weekend.
He’s the special guest on John Prine’s upcoming episode of Austin City Limits, which I believe will air on 10/13.
Saw Dawes tonight at the Tabernacle. No opener, just three hours of Dawes. It was perfect. They played two sets and then came out for an extended version of Peace in the Valley as the encore.
Amanda Shires playing with her band in Richmond tomorrow. I'm thinking about going, anyone ever seen her/them live?
Was there as well. They are so damn good live. Closing with Peace in the Valley was awesome. Taylor killed it.
