Just to say I love this idea for a regular feature.

Really nice to see Cadillac Sky mentioned here. Over the past year or two, I’ve really gained an appreciation for some of the younger bluegrass acts-these guys are great musicians.
I think one of the instrumentals on the cd, “Majestic Swan”, is really magical-the sounds they make together are beautiful then any of the instruments on their own.

yeah, the boland disc rules, and emusic rules for having it available. i will never forget the time i came home fron nashville a month ago, and i had listened to some really bad pop-country stations in music city, then i get back to texas and the first song i hear on the radio when i get in my car is “Comal County Blue”. Not to “Nashville Bash”, but it cracked me up that I had to leave the Country Music capital to hear soemthing that was really country…

again, please excuse the generic nashville bashing on my part…

I liked the Jason Boland stuff too – found some of his other songs I really liked on amazon. Really impressed with cadillac sky too.

Brady, I can see why my post didn’t make much sense. I meant to say that it would be great to see these kinds of lists at 5 or 6 different country music blogs around the Web. That way, plenty of perspectives and tastes get covered and I can go just to those lists on a chosen day and find plenty of music I might miss.

Sometimes I type slower than my brain thinks.

Oh and Scooter, all of Chris Knight’s songs are good, but if you want to cherry-pick some of his best, I’d suggest Rural Route, Down the River, Becky’s Bible, Crooked Road and Hard Edges.
