In the event you needed a reminded why

Hootie is an asshat.

At least he didn't say country music sux....


Jun 29, 2015, 1:55 PM

'cause that woulda been the truff!

It is fine if you think all country music of all time sucks,


Jun 29, 2015, 2:00 PM

but if you think that, you should stay out of the conversation.

Country music radio is truly horrible.


Jun 29, 2015, 5:13 PM

Instead of evolving like Darius says it should, it has dug the tree up by the roots and cast it into the sun.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

There's a ton of excellent country music out there..


Jun 29, 2015, 5:06 PM

but it's not on the radio and it sure as hell isn't coming from Hootie. Bingham's latest album was good, Isbell put out an amazing record last year and his new one is solid (though I'd classify him more Americana), and Sturgill Simpson is killing it on tour right now.

Thanks for giving me another reason to dislike all things Hootie.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That was my goal. Just so much of it is off base.


Jun 29, 2015, 5:12 PM

That site is where I look to find new people to listen to. Or check out what RH tells me to. I need to check out Isbell some place other than work where I can really listen.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Isbell is probably my favorite artist out there.


Jun 29, 2015, 5:21 PM

I've been lucky enough to see him a dozen times or so and it always fantastic. Id start with "Southeastern," as it's easily his best and work from there. His music from his time with Drive-By Truckers is great, too.

Americana, alternate country, and folk are about all I listen to. That site you linked to is pretty good; a good friend of mine is on there daily.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Agree, Isbell is really good. Saw him on Record Store Day


Jun 30, 2015, 9:55 AM

in Greenville a few months back. His songs are usually very dark but they all seem to have a point to them. I can't wait for the release of his new album.

Check out Chris Stapleton and Whitey Morgan if you want some good country.

See also Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen***


Jun 30, 2015, 10:27 AM



badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Saw him in Columbia right around that time


Jun 30, 2015, 10:27 AM [ in reply to Agree, Isbell is really good. Saw him on Record Store Day ]

and he unveiled 24 Frames for the first time. He's just an incredible songwriter that can tell a tale better than most anyone.

I'll have to see if it is still up, but I had a link to a leak of the new album. I'd already preordered the record, so I didn't feel too bad. If you're interested, I'll PM it to you.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'll TMail it momentarily.

As an aside, I enjoyed following your trek through Florida. I don't love this state, but you entertained the #### out of me. I'm making a trip to the Keys in a couple of weeks!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You definitely need to stop at the Caribbean Club on Largo.


Jun 30, 2015, 11:33 AM

I wish we'd had a lot more time there...it was like a cast of characters assembled for a TV show in there. We were in there a little over an hour and the conversation with the locals was priceless.

night.

IT'S FREAKING HOT AND HUMID DOWN THERE.

ringofhonor-rhtig.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


It ain't much cooler at night.


Jun 30, 2015, 11:50 AM

I remember shooting pool in a bar at Key West at around 11:00..on a July night. There was a thermometer in the bar (that was mostly outside) and it was 89 degrees.

I looked up at the thermometer a little while later at around midnight...and it was 90 degrees.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Well, yeah....not much cooler but


Jun 30, 2015, 12:19 PM

at least there's no Florida Death Sun burning the flesh off of your bones and beaming pure radiation goodness directly into your retinas.

ringofhonor-rhtig.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Cooler?


Jun 30, 2015, 12:25 PM

Yeti or poors?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'm pretty sure that the Florida sun is the only thing that

Jun 30, 2015, 12:10 PM [ in reply to Saw him in Columbia right around that time ]

I also pre-ordered and already got 2 songs from the album, 24 Frames and Something More Than Free.

Both songs are egg-salent.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Side note, how do you know Isbell's new album is good


Jun 30, 2015, 10:42 AM [ in reply to There's a ton of excellent country music out there.. ]

Doesn't come out until the 17th.

ringofhonor-rhtig.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


So far, I've not seen an actual schedule for this weekend.


Jun 30, 2015, 10:37 AM

I know there will be two stages but I don't know if the Picnic is more like the Southern Ground festival that it ends around midnight or is it like the Christmas Jam and goes until roughly sun up.

My worry is somebody that I really want to see is going to get left out.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I thought I saw something with two stages listed


Jun 30, 2015, 11:41 AM

and had the same thoughts as to who was making the cut and who was not.

Jun 30, 2015, 12:08 PM

time? I am actually surprised that Coe is going to be there. He seems the type to want to whip a cosmic cowyboy's ###.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I've seen Coe, so it would have to be RWH in that case.***

I imagine Coe is closer to dead but


Jun 30, 2015, 12:35 PM

Hubbard probably doesn't head this way very often. Maybe Kris will just play with Willie and Merle to take care of that problem.
