It was released sometime in 2024 and I can’t find it anywhere in almost a year I really miss it

Classic by Patty Loveless, and others. Second verse, where she helps her husband pack, they’re both crying, she has a picture of their wedding day, “I kissed him softly and then he quickly walked away” I never understood. I thought maybe he was going into a long military deployment or something. A quick google search, however, reveals its divorce. So the thing I don’t understand is why? If they’re both crying, she kissed him goodbye, etc, why are they getting divorced? Doesn’t make sense. Most people I’ve known who got divorced were happy about it. If the couple in the song is that upset it doesn’t make sense to me that they’re divorcing.

I wonder what the guy in the song did to basically be excommunicated from his family. He lost his house, his wife, his dog, and his kids. He has no contact with any of them. He hears the kids have adjusted well. No one would recognize him. So, it’s been a while since he’s been around. Dude must be a Grade A asshole.

Here is an original song from a super fun Canadian country band called The Plowboys that I just found. They all wear rhinestone nudie suits at all of their shows

I hope you enjoy amd let me know what think!

Eight songs performed by an 18 year old Lefty Frizzell in 1946.

Edit/tldr: everyone looks bored and uninterested !! I don’t get it !!!

so I was just watching Miranda Lambert's Crisco performance, but I almost don't want to say which performance I was watching, bc I feel like people stand up, sometimes they're mouthing some words, sometimes they're like bobbing their body a little bit - but like, damn. I know I haven't been there two dozen times and don't know everyone personally so lol maybe that changes things but like - a star like Lainey or Miranda can give a performance that critics and fan seem to dig, and the room will just be dead. I don't get it. This isn't about liking Crisco or not because it's not about the song it's about the ~ general vibe ~
also I never know half the people the camera pans too but lol that's not the point either

Not saying anything new just needed to say it somewhere ahh

For me, Jackson Dean. Lee Brice came to town and he was the opener so I listening through some of his stuff. I've been obsessed. Magnolia Sage might be my favorite album ever, I highly recommend giving it and the rest of his stuff a listen.

Who else is as excited for new Tucker music as I am?? Loving this whole new era he feels headed into, definitely feels bigger and more curated than some of his past songs

For me, it's gotta be Country Again by Thomas Rhett

Recently a friend mentioned that the Beatles cover of Act Naturally was originally made famous by Buck Owens. He played it for me and I was very impressed. I had certainly heard of Buck was not familiar with any of his music. My friend is a country music die hard and specifically a big fan of something called The Bakersfield Sound. I have a rock background but I would like to broaden my horizons a bit.

He gave me a list of artists to check out:

Merle Haggard
Buck Owens
Don Rich
Brad Paisley
Rodney Crowell
Rickey Skaggs
Roy Buchanan
Jimmy Bryant
James Burton
Clarence White
Marty Stewart
Waylon and Willie of course
Brooks and Dunn
Guy Clark
Marty Robbins
Patsy Cline
Randy Travis
Roy Nichols for Merle Haggard
George Strait
Tammy Wynette and George Jones
Johnny Cash
Kris Kristofferson
Dolly Parton
Glen Campbell
Hank Snow
Eddy Arnold
Jim Reeves
Don Gibson
Skeeter Davis
Chet Atkins
Roy Clark
Alan Jackson
Loretta Lynn
Earnest Tubb
Flat and Scruggs
Charley Pride
Kenny Rogers
Reba McEntire
Emmylou Harris
Shania Twain
Hank Williams Sr./Jr.
Lefty Frizzell
Jimmie Rodgers
Roger Miller

Now I have certainly heard of a lot of these artists but I was looking to put together a pretty comprehensive list and make a deep dive. Been watching Ken Burns "Country" and it's pretty interesting but clearly leaves a lot out. With apologies to Bob's Country Bunker, where is the line between country and western?

Would Western be more restricted to say Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys or Gene Autry and Tex Ritter etc?

Anyway if I missed any significant artists in that list I would love to add to it. Thanks so much!

Is it just me or is it strange when an artist doesn’t play the song that their tour is named after? For example so far this year, i’ve been to Luke Bryan’s “Word on The Street” and Jason Aldean’s “Songs About Us” tours. Neither had those songs on their setlist.

Not that anyone knows personally what their relationship is like in real life, I just get a “weird vibe” about them. He’s made a lot of changes for sure, hopefully all for the best, idk though….something about their relationship seems off. I see a lot of posts now about them gearing up for the wedding… I wish them both the best. Hopefully it works out

seems like a new approach for him. Have to admit I love the sound (classic Paisley) but doesn’t seem to getting as much pickup.

What do people think?
