On the way back home from Huntsville, I listened to stuff on my
MP3 player in the truck.
Eric Johnson, Johnny Winter, The Beatles.

Full albums of Leon Redbone, Gordon Lightfoot, John Prine,
Cactus Blossoms, Clint Black, Nitty Gritty DB, Queen, Clint
Black, Jerry Lee Lewis, Prairie Oyster and Delbert Mcclinton.
It was a seven hour round trip - I might have forgotten one or
two. :P

Nice mix there. You know, Clint Black is a local boy. Grew up
and came up not 5 miles from me here in Katy. Not being a
country guy, I hardly noticed him. But my brother used to see
him play on the cheap at the local bars and such. My Brother is
a bit more into the Yee Haw stuff than me.
But I'm a great fan of John Prine, Gordon Lightfoot. Delbert
McClinton as well. His stuff kind of reminds me of Jerry Lee
Lewis at times...Lotta barrelhouse piano stuff.
Nitty Gritty Dirt band is cool too. When they did that cover of
Jerry Jeff Walker's "Mr. Bojangles", it gave Jerry Jeff national
exposure. A buddy of mine from high school played in Jerry jeffs
band for a couple of years. A guy named Kenny Daniels. One of
the worst students ever, but man he could play guitar. Country
stuff but he was great at it. Saw him off and on for a few
years. Last time I saw him was at his Mom's house and I was
working on her a/c. he showed me a couple of albums he'd played
on over the year...He wasn't exactly prospering, but he was
making a living playing. Had to give it to him for guts. I never
had enough talent to make that leap.

That's pretty cool, AJ. 8)
Most of the country stuff I listen too is because I travel
mostly with my sister, and sis is a country person. We do share
a common fondness for Gordon Lightfoot.
I've been listening a lot lately to Delbert's last album "Tall
Dark and Handsome."
He sounds pretty good for any age, let alone 78.

I've added some new (unheard) bands/tracks onto my Spotify
shitlist ad will have a listen later on, it's always a mixed
bunch, nothing too heavy or loud
I just listen 5-10 seconds per track and skip through the track
and if I am intrigued it gets on the shitlist
so, some of these could be good :
the black angels
frankie and the witch fingers
misty coast
the both
melody's echo chamber
beak
chelsea wolffe
almighty mighty
smith westerns
wye oak
marika hackmann
lilacs & champagne
