A compilation of my very own,....
 

so i've decided to make my own compilation thread,...if thats alright with you guys,...

i've chosen to put it in the section because,...well,...country folkie jam bandish, stuff is kinda my nitch,.....even though i'm sure some of my comps will include other things,.....



this first comp is a mixture of texas singer songwritters (which i thnk by now we all know i'm really into),....
it stuff that makes me think of growing up,....things i listened to in high school and college, and no matter what musical phase i'm in, i always come back to this stuff,......

so here's my first installment,..... do with it what you will

track listing,...

biloxi - jack ingram,....
jack's been around for awhile and recently has gained some nashville acclaim ,... for whatever thats worth,... this track is my favorite to see live

sangria wine - jerry jeff walker
you didnt think i'd have a texas comp without jerry jeff walker did you? the man is one of my all time fav artists,......and sangria wine puts me in a good mood no matter whats goin on around me

the ballad of the kingsman - todd snider,...
ok so he's not FROM texas,...but he's influenced alot of songwritters down here,.....and i love his witt

cooler-n-hell - ray wylie hubbard
best known for redneck mother,.....

a storm blew in - brandon rhyder
it was so hard for me to chose a rhyder track,......as i love pretty much everything he does,....
brandon has a lot of bravado in his voice and some people are turned off by it, but when i see or hear brandon, i feel everything he's feeling through his voice

dreadful selfish crime - robert earl keen
needs no explination in my opp

sunset boulevard - charlie robinson
while some may argue his brother bruce is the more prolific songwritter, charlie just does it for me,....and this song has always been a fav,....it take me back to riddin dirt roads, crammed in a truck, windows down, drinking stolen beer, and singin at the top of my lungs

it aint easy being me - chris knight
i think we all feel this way somedays

if i had a boat - lyle lovette,.....
i wish i could write songs like this

long black veil - stoney larue
one of my fav songs by one of my fav artists

remain - mike mcclure
so,.....he's alittle pitchy,....but the way he writes,....and the sound of his voice,....i really think mike mcclure could talk me into almost anything

I have also copied this thread to the 10 track compilation thread to esnsure better coverage.

Thanks, I'll give it a go...

thanks y'all,...
i know its not gonna be everyone's thing,...but,...you know,...

1: spinning around the moon - cory morrow
from one of the vets of the texas music scene, spinning was unexpected on his last album, but its become one of my favorites

2: nobody's girl - reckless kelly
i've been a reckless kelly fan since jr high when my best friend's older sister used to listen to them all the time,.....nobody's girl has become my unofficial theme song, causein me to drink large amounts of alcohol and danceing like a banchie anytime i hear it

3: half of my mistakes - radney foster
radney has been the words behind many of nashville's hit makers,.....under rated and under played, mistakes is my favorite of his

4: mood to burn bridges - neko case
with a haunting voice and sharp witt, neko is a favorite in the alt country world, where woman are not exactly welcomed

5: resurrection - wade bowen
great live shows has built his following, and nashville is starting to take notice,.....i saw a video on 'the edge of country' the other night and was alittle shocked

6: loney lubbock lights - aaron watson
aaron is a country purest, his shows are always full of waltzes and texas swing,.......makes me want to buy new boots

7: mexican sky - cross candian ragweed
this was written by the less notable scott evans,......and while i like ragweeds version, scott's is better, i just couldnt find it

8: love - roger creager
sounds like that first cold beer you crack open after a break up, with your friends

9: merry go round - brandon rhyder
sums things up

10: big mistake - adam hood
sounds like that first beer you crack open after a break up, by yourself

11: sunrise - ryan bingham
though it sounds like there's gravel in his voice, this track makes me want to drive on a sunny day,......and have no destination

12: everytime i roll the dice - delbert mcclinton
classic delbert

13: good friends - hayes carll
dubed the next todd snider,......always funny, sometimes to a fault, and heart heartbreakingly so,.....

14: proud souls - jason boland
often covered on the circut, this was boland's first 'hit' and one i think everyone can identify with,......caution, bourbon might be needed to listen to this

15: loving that girl : scott miller and the common wealth
party music with a brain

16: crow - matt powell
matt has always played in other peoples bands, this is a track off of his first solo album,......

17: saints in the twilight - mike mcclure
my current obsession (besides the wood brothers)

18: kelly comes to town - rich otoole
just a fun song, i think we all know 'kelly'

19: righteously - lucinda williams
i didnt think i could do an alt country comp without some lucinda,....

20: road to nash vegas - dan tyminski and ron block
most people will know dan from 'man of constant sorrow' on the o brother where art thou soundtrack,....he also plays in union station,....both of these guys are amazing guitarist,.....i was lucky enough to see them at the cross roads guitar fest a few years ago, and can safely say they were one of my favorite moments,.....

21: gringo honeymoon - robert earl keen
cant not have some keen

22: luckiest man - the wood brothers
also my current obsession

I thought only myself and Big3 were into Neko, she looks great nekkid too!!!
Cheers

lol she does look good naked,......

i got to see her, not naked though, a coupla years ago in dallas at a little theater off greenville ave,....and it was amazing,...
if you havent seen her live, you should

When I was in my band we opened for her cow-punk band Maow, she was really sweet. I haven't managed to see her since though.

She was fat then :(

with a voice and face like that,.....i could care less if she is, or was ever fat

Don't get me wrong, I still wanted to hit it like it owed me money http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...p/badteeth.gif
