You know, Country & Western!


This ain't your Dad's country music. It's your Granddad's! None of that new Nashville bullshit either. This is where you'll find what I consider the best in Country (Classic and Alt), Folk, and Americana.

ITEM! Meet me in "real life" at my other tumblr, Roots Rock Weirdo, sorta NSFW.
