keyse1 Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 for no particular reason here is an article explaining what Americana is and where it comes from I came across it looking for pictures of the record cover of WTCBU I know how much young people like acronyms that baffle me It is long but there are lots of videos https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.udiscovermusic.com%2Fin-depth-features%2Famericana-music-country-roots-history%2F&psig=AOvVaw3-9v9ahszbl5LgA1meqU4X&ust=1595307989086000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAkQjhxqFwoTCJiJ2M2H2-oCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cazzesman Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Thank you Citreon, Can't believe I missed this. I will sneak into JB HiFi in my Covid bubble suit some time to buy a copy. In the mean time I downloaded a Flac version of the Album from Bandcamp where Jason and Amanda do a live duo version of the CD. Plenty of the reviews claim it is better than the Studio CD. Cheers.

keyse1 Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Good grief Its 5.30 and I haven’t heard Johnny Cash all day And only one Bob Dylan song so listening to both at once thanks to the marvels of modern technology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyse1 Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Listening to folkie stuff I bought in the early 70’s This kind of music was great all those decades ago and I’ve never really not listened to them and probably like them more now In a way I’ve actually grown into them especially the sound (as in the music and vocals ) and what the songs mean beyond the romantic entanglements From memory I would have read about them in Rolling Stone magazine About 90% of the records I own are because of record reviews Hard to believe what a great magazine Rolling Stone was until the late 70’s Edited July 31, 2020 by keyse1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deanB Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Chris Wilson- King For A Day Another artist who has eluded me until now. Sadly, it turns out that I'm a bit late getting to the party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, it turns out that I'm a bit late getting to the party. Sadly missed. His contribution to the Australian blues scene was enormous. He used to do regular music-related book reviews for 'Off The Record' on RRR and always so insightful. See if you can get one of his DVDs. He had his own special style on stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray4410 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 the amazing rhythm aces a great band to see live now wouldn't that be a treat right now let's hope that this new lockdown set of rules(which i totally agree with) works and we can rid our beautiful country of this insidious virus and get back to normal so we can see the musicians both local and international do what they do ,make ♬, isn't that that got us into hifi.

keyse1 Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 I love this record and the half dozen songs with Johnny Cash are among my favourite JC songs Includes Bob’s song Song To Woody Banjo has to be one of the best instruments My Ship Will Sail has to be one of my favourite songs made perfect by Earle’s banjo Lot of great songs in country music about death and this is one of the best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyse1 Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Not what I was intending to listen to this afternoon Harlem River Blues I love the song For singing along to the chorus In my mind Where no one can hear me When I heard it live realised it was about suicide Lot of great sing a long type songs and then one day you realise the subject matter is a long way from the cheerful tune Working for the MTA is one of hundreds if not thousands of train songs Lyrically and sound wise it’s very standard train song theme and like most of his records could easily slot into the 40’s or 50’s But probably the only song ever written about the New York subway Great record and one of the very best of America’s young country music players 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
