Continuing the tradition of taking rocking songs and making acoustic versions of them:

Thought that was pretty cool. Some neat slogans for the kids to claim while they rebel against the world, too. That slower part at the end should’ve been in the middle or thereabouts, making for one of those old school “mosh parts” or whatever they’re calling them now.

Sturgill Simpson - Ronin
If you're a fan of David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), you'll appreciate this. I'm beginning to think that the future of guitar is going to come out of Country Music artists (weird...I know).

"Here comes the mosh part!"

I know...I'm not a fan of Country at all, but people keep turning me on to absolutely fantastic musicians coming out of Country Music. I just don't see that anywhere else these days. Could be an anomaly, and Sturgill might be one. But those are some of the sweetest blues riffs I've heard in the last few years...just beautiful. Rogan interviewed him and his band a year ago when they were working on this album.

I feel like I’ve watched modern Country music evolve and become what used to pass as Pop-rock for several decades. As hip-hop, dance, and their various sub genres became the popular norm with the younger generation, the best and most skilled guitarists and instrumentalists found their place in Country, where they could hone their talents. I see the pop-rock influence in Country in the stage shows and song themes as well, compared to say, the 80’s or 90’s.

Never saw that before. Liked Chris Rock at the end. Only “Country rap” I think I’ve heard of is Bubba Sparxxx and Colt Ford. Ford, under his real name is a regular on the PGA tour, which I find interesting.

I think a big part of it is Country is still large enough to be old fashioned about how things used to be done. You can go to Memphis, Nashville and other towns and find studio musicians to play on your album who are absolute monsters. They eat red meat and keep fit playing other types of music...blues, rock, jazz, R&B, classical, etc.

Here's another example. I don't know what this is called...Young Country or Pop Country or what, but the guy on the kit is bringin' it.
Here's the standard song.
Ryan Follese - Float Your Boat
Here's a close-up (sort of a drum clinic) of all the fun things this drummer is bringing to the song under the radar. He's super talented. Hired gun.

Hey, Ditch, probably already well known to you, but I was recently tuned into Nicky Hopkins through a Graham Parker album. Holy cow, but Hopkins played with multiple notable acts as a session or recording musician. He was obviously popular among his musical peers. Beatles, Kinks, The Who, Rolling Stones, Steve Miller Band... What an amazing resume. I was looking for any connection he might’ve had with the Grateful Dead, but only found he played with JGB for a few months in ‘75. I was wondering if he was a candidate to fill in between Pigpen’s and Godchaux’s(sp?) deaths or prior to Brent joining as Hopkins lived in the same area as GD members.
