Dave Stamey's "Mule String Trail" is a great song, actually about mules.

Billy Joe Shaver is coming!!!
Billy Joe Shaver is coming????
Yes he is!
Yes he is!!!!

I was
an extra for this movie for like a day. Then I got a real job. The costumes were very hot, very itchy, and I was told not to cut my hair a certain way. Would have been cool to do all the martial arts training & junk though. Ah well, I'll be in the movies another time, I guess.

Dick Dale all the way….

Yes, or "CH" will do in the presence of a client.

Ah, but he did. He's been writing for years. It just hasn't been published. It's all sitting there, waiting for that sweet, sweet day… I mean sad day. Definitely sad.

No, no no. There's a hell of alot more to Rascall Flatts than there is to Kenny Rogers, who was king during the 80s country-pop days, and the Dixie Chicks, well, they just rule and that's it. End of discussion.

Check out some of Junior Barnard's electric guitar work, too:

Please tell us the Merle/Buck story in Buck's week.

Oh, and to the purists…. Fuck you. You are always wrong. Why would you not want to write/read about Nashville Skyline or John Prine's debut album? That shit is country gold!! even if the artists that made those songs aren't pure country singers.

I think they'll all get their own weeks… 52 is an awful lot of weeks. And I mean, how could you skip 'em?

I loved that article too… like where he talks about never being able to look Roy Nichols in the eye. Jesus, man, heavy as lead.
