I just got bs k from Alabama from an unsuccessful pig hunt. However, the drive let me discover Turnpike Troubadours’ new album.

The Price of Admission. Every song is deserving of multiple listings.

My favorite is the On the Red River.

Give it a look up on YouTube, ITunes, Spotify, etc.

Some do not like music. That is your loss.

They are probably Trump supporters

And…

I gave it a listen. Not bad but a little one dimensional. The writer's OK but no Bob Dylan. None would be on my 100 playlist. Regards, Bill.

just tell alexa to play "rhinestone cowboy" and the following play list is pretty amazing

I gave it a listen, but can't say I found it moving. I have eclectic tastes in music, but I'm afraid country is not one of them--exceptions for Willie Nelson and Lyle Lovett. Country rock? Okay, I'll take the Outlaws.

I usually have music going while I work. Mostly it's the blues, some rock, some progressive, less pop, and a few genre-busting bands every now and them.

Tab Benoit, the Cajun blues master, has a new album out for the first time in years. Samantha Fish, one of our best blues guitarists and vocalists--female or male--has a new album out, as does Dave Mason. Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, an exciting new blues talent, had a new live album last year. Tisley Ellis, Santana, Mark Knopfler, and Ronnie Earl, had new albums last year.

The blues are passing to another generation as the greats die off (Alvin Lee, Johnny Winter, Kim Simmonds, and others). I think the art form is in good hands.

I’m a one dimensional guy who while not on the Red River have had those experiences. I’ll

I do not like Bob Dylan.

I like the vast majority of quality Americana music, Dylan wrote the playbook, he is unparalleled. Turnpike Troubadours are good, glad to see that Evan cleaned up.

Sturgill sets the standard today in my opinion though, best thing to hit music in decades, the complete package from being an incredible song writer to an absolute monster on the 6 string....and his band, they just don't get much tighter.

I hope you are referring to DAC, Glen Campbell will always be the Wichita Lineman to me and he was damn good, but Coe was the personification of the Rhinestone Cowboy.

Love Sturgill, Love Jason Isbell, Love Guy Clark, Love Towns Van Zandt. Love a lot of Tyler Childress.

I love a lot of classical stuff and waltzes.
I do not like Dylan. I appreciate him.

Listen to Campbell frequently and again this morning.

I agree, Sturgil is huge.

Ive never heard of them, but I had to bike into my nearest town to get some bits to take the exhaust manifold studs out of a bike block so I found them on Spotify.

I listen to quite a lot of folksy type music - it was ok, not top of my play list but i'd listen to them again.
