Check out this classic Austin City Limits appearance by Steve Earle. Too bad the audio/video get out of sync towards the end of the video, but beggars can’t be choosers. I was born in the land of plenty, now there ain’t enough.

One of my all-time favorite Haggard songs. There’s a lot to say about this song, not only the fitting performance of it, but how well written it is. You would probably get slapped in the mouth by any real country fan if you tried to make the assertion that this song isn’t country. Yet look [...]

A lot of people would say “Seven Year Ache” isn’t really a country song. They may even say Roseanne Cash isn’t country. She lives in New York after all. But I think when your name is Cash you automatically get a little leeway. Whether it’s country or not, “Seven Year Ache” is a terrific tune [...]

Talent. Smooth talent. I think Glen Campbell could have gotten by with either his singing or his guitar playing, but the guy is great at both. This video is proof of both, and it’s probably my favorite Glen Campbell song. If you ever get a chance to check out some old episodes of the Glen [...]

Son! I say Yeah!!! This video is amazing. I have a friend who grew up out in Utah in the 80s and 90s and hasn’t had a whole of exposure to classic country music. When I brought up Jerry Reed the other day, he’d never even heard of him. Now, my buddy is a pretty [...]
