The .357 String Band’s new release is a must-have.

A good bit of solid albums on this list. The Reckless Kelly, .357 String Band, Texas Sapphires and Elliot Randall albums are great…

Thanks Kelly! Now I know which albums and artists I can ignore without guilt or curiosity! (lol)
My pick of the litter would be the Johnny Gimble album. I hope I can find one for cheapsies in the not too distant feature.
Hey C.M., how does “This Crazy Life” compare to “Country Jam”, and what relative rating would “Country Jam” earn. I like “Country Jam” but it only rates 3.5 stars on my personal scale. If only the lead vocalist had a singing voice I found more interesting….
Ken, what rating would you give Sarah Buxton’s original Lyric Street full album in comparison? If I exclude “American Daughters” (which I can’t stand), I’d give the original at least 4 stars and possibly 4.5. I just love Sarah’s bluesy songs the best.
PS – I wish I knew if the leaders of these bands were Obamavoters as it would make it so much easier to idenitfy the ones to ignore and/or ridicule! I can pretty much bet every member of “Joy Kills Sorrow” is an NPR loving intellectual, elitist Obamasnob as it goes with the territory…

Seek help. Take your meds. For God’s sake.

MickerSS, I do have a prescription! It reads like this: “Kick that marxist Odumbo and his Obamacare debacle out of the White House and D.C. this week, and then call me with the good news in the morning!”. (lol)
PS – Whatever happened to free album give-aways? Are the labels not giving out promo freebies any longer? Dang…

Dick, take your meds. I repeat–take your meds. Double up on it. Whatever it takes to act like you weren’t raised in a barn, do that. You’ve become a complete nuisance and…well, apparently I’m the one that has to say it. Everyone else is nice enough to ignore it and move on, I suppose. So let me say it: YOU’RE A COMPLETE NUISANCE. WE ALL GET IT. YOU’VE MADE YOUR POINT. MOVE ON. FOR GOD’S SAKE, WE GET IT. Sheesh.
And take your freaking meds.

I thought it was just the Obamavoters who were looking to get something for nothing …

Ha. Good one, Razor X.:)

I agree! That was a good one Razor X! (lol)

I don’t think Rick’s a nuisance. He doesn’t like Jason Aldean, but nobody’s perfect!LOL

Thanks Michelle! I personally prefer the term “Obama loathing political gadfly” to nuisance! (lol)
