Music And All Things BrookJersey (Moran)

Two from Paul Thorn, a man who solo or with the Paul Thorn Band has opened for such diverse artists as Huey Lewis and The News, John Prine, Mark Knofler, and Jeff Beck.
Also was a decent professional boxer, good enough to fight Roberto Duran in a televised bout on Duran’s way down.





Picked these two in particular in honor of me having “one of those days”

funny guy, lots of talented people that are doing the work, not gaining the recognition they deserve. thanks for making available.
 
Two sides of a trio of brothers, The Brudi Brothers from Seattle, who have amassed an impressive on-line following. Two very different musical styles represented.
The first is their original, a tongue in cheek song written by busking in San Francisco and observing people walking the streets as “cowboy and working class” posers (my interpretation). If you don’t care for the retro style of that, the second title speaks for itself and well worth a listen.

That first song, somehow, some way, put me in mind of early John Gorka, a bit sarcastic, a bit funny, and entirely entertaining.

The second song speaks for itself.

Good spotting logen, I have no idea how you find so many gems, but keep them coming.

Agreed, though I didn't see Nathaniel Rateliff. He was great last time I saw him.

Yes, I would like to have seen Rateliff and Billy Strings but concert was pretty much an all day thing and CNN picked up at 7 pm eastern so several good performers didn't make the coverage.

I also missed Willie Nelson as he came on after midnight here.
 
I met an old buddy for a few beers last night, Met and Yankee games on TV, music the topic of discussion most of the night. Got to talking music trivia and one of the all-time greatest questions. Too obtuse to offer as a question so I’ll “Joe Friday” it, “just the facts”.
Jackson Browne wrote “These Days” when he was 16 years old while hitchhiking through the south with a friend destined to become a famous musician in his own right, which is part one of the trivia.
The traveling companion? Gregg Allman.
Browne recorded it years later for “For Everyman” but by that time several people had already put it on vinyl, including Allman and Tom Rush. However, part two, who first recorded it? The woman was much more well known for her association with a truly groundbreaking record than for any real musical prowess.
The answer, at Andy Warhol’s insistence the women forced on the Velvet Underground for the “Banana” album, Nico.

Huge Jackson Browne fan and These Days one of my favorites. Incredible to learn he had that kind of perspective at 16. Thanks for posting!
 
Don’t know Taylor Swift but I do know Robert Earl Keen

Usually done as a cooking rocker but I am a sucker for great fiddling


A wee bit early but my favorite Christmas song after Fairytale of New York

Robert Early Keen, Jr., is a musical hero of mine, he has some great material, these are at the top of my list...(he un-retired recently)

I listen to The Road Goes On Forever all the time, one of the best Story Songs there is, I always thought they should make a movie out of it, maybe Coen Brothers and John Goodman.....

Every single Christmas since I found this REKjr Merry Christmas From the Family song, I play it, not all my family members "get it". This song evokes the NL Christmas Vacation movie for me, though mostly because of Cousin Eddie and his family and their RV in the driveway.

Texas troubadour is REK, along with the likes of Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Guy Clark, TVZ, JJW, Kinky Friedman and a host of others. He's a Kerrville Texas boy who did a lot for the Hill Country during those devastating floods.

P.S.: Taylor Swift's music doesn't do it for me, but I can see why some folks like her.... she is not un-talented.

The college station I listen to here plays that song often between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love it although my wife is not a fan.
 
Well, you had to mention the great Guy Clark, song writer extraordinaire and IMO, a very underrated or unappreciated singer and guitarist. Two of his best and one of his silliest.

have seen Guy play on stage with Joe Ely, Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt, with my daughter a few times, one of the best!

Interesting film about Guy and his acolytes when in their youth, enjoy.
 




One of my favorite groups, in bluegrass and Americana genre, plus they play with others, giving older tunes another version.
