Oh they calling it Americana now? Dave Alvin, Chris Gaffney (RIP) and their gang has been calling it Roots Music for years. But I have to admit they weren't doing the emo style singing. I'd much rather someone like Rosie Flores was getting some airplay.
But hey that's just me.
Check out my old band RT N' The 44s if you like the Rootsy stuff. I miss playing with those guys even though I am a Funk/Soul enthusiast.

Chris Gaffney in his final collaboration before his death hooked up with Dave Gonzalez of the Paladins called what they did western soul. But whatever you call it, it's tasty....
My turn. Caught this gal on Paste Studio. Put the song on in the background as I scrolled through the Paste Studio articles, and, wait a minute . . . this gal is goood. It was her unique voice that first caught my attention. Then came the emotion and power of her voice that only made her words come to life. She is delightful as a person as well. After her first song, out came her producer. Oh, what a treat. One of my favorites. Piqued your interest? Gonna have to watch to find out who is this famous, though not by the masses, producer.

Aaron Lewis covers the Tim McGraw song Whiskey and You. Chris Stapleton's version is also good but I think I like this the best.
Aaron did a great job with that, but it is hard for me to give anyone the nod over Stapleton......Chris Stapleton's voice/talent is just special.
Now there's something you and I are 100% in agreement.
Stapleton is definitely amazing. Not sure if people realize how much he has written for other artists.
And after having seen him live, he's a really great guitarist as well. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

My contribution going into the weekend is a cool cover of an early '80's New Wave hit that has been updated so perfectly for our current political climate:

I really dig Chris Stapleton. However, when I saw him at the Forum, I was a little disappointed. Not because he wasn't great. He was. But if you're going to be in a bigger venue, I think you need more production value. I know that's not his bag really, but he should get a producer who can straddle the line between staying true to CS's style and giving the audience a bigger show. He did an A+ show for a smaller theater.

That's a very fair critique. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

For those who are country fans (at least the Chris Stapleton kind), and you're not familiar with the Turnpike Troubadours... check them out. They're one of my favorite band of the last 10 years.

I love his version of Tennessee Whiskey, it is terrific. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny
