Country Heroes
Filed Under Album Picks | Leave a Comment
I have played this song over and over… There is no other song that resonates with me as much as this song does right now in my life. I am going through a drinking stage right now mixed in with a little depression. Having a father who was a recovering alcoholic, it is a little nerve racking to go through a drinking stage. I am trying to stay on top of it, constantly reminding myself of the dangers of my genetic history. I have been addicted to things before but this is a different in the sense that this is a legal and socially acceptable drug…
I never imagined that Hank Williams III would be on my iPod, never in a million years. There is something about his honest country punk that speaks to me. It is real and blunt and I like it, a lot. Reminds me of my Dad a bit and my Americana roots. It has made me realize that I have been taking a lot of chances with my music selection as of late, opening myself up to genres and people I never imagined I would take a chance on. It is amazing what you will find speaks to you when you go in with an open mind.
Play it loud.
Country Heroes – Hank Williams III
Straight to Hell 2005 (Bruc Records)
Well, oh what a feeling
that burns down low
when you ain’t got no where to turn,
or no where to go
It makes me feel like sometimes
I’m outta control
So I’m gonna get wasted
with all my country heroesI’m drinkin’ some George Jones,
and a little bit of Coe
Haggard’s easin’ my misery
and Waylon’s keepin’ me from home
Hank’s givin’ me those high times –
Cash is gonna sing it low
I’m here gettin’ wasted –
here with my country heroesI’m drinkin’ that whiskey
out of that glass
and if that ain’t country,
boy, you can kiss my ass
I wanna hear them old songs –
nothin’ of the new
’cause this might be the last time
I’m gonna see youSo I’m drinkin’ some George Jones,
and a little bit of Coe
Haggard’s easin’ my misery
and Waylon’s keepin’ me from home
Hanks givin’ me those high times –
Cash is gonna sing it low
and I’m here gettin’ wasted –
just like my country heroesI’m here gettin’ wasted –
with all my country heroes

Gone
Filed Under Music Mix Up | 3 Comments
I have been struggling to communicate. Right now, I feel like I have very little to give and I have been selfish with my time. Spending a lot of time by myself. Thinking… Contemplating where I am in my life and where and what I want for the future. I suppose you can think of it as a 30 year old crisis. I am not exactly sure how comfortable I am where I am at in my life so I am trying to grasp on to anything fun and different? It is something I am still trying to figure out. There has been some distance between me and the blog, nothing drastic. I am just a little quiet.
The other night this M83 song shuffled on and took my breath away. I listened to it on repeat for 30 minutes. Every once in awhile music will save me, a song will come on and can have such a profound affect on me. This live version of Gone is to me by far better than the original studio recording. Play it loud.

Magic Chords

I have had my eye on this album, awaiting the release for quite some time. I find Sharon’s voice to be ever so beautiful. The album as a whole is alright… I selected a handful of diamonds for my collection, Magic Chords, Ask, Serpents, Kevin’s and In Line. All well worth a listen and more. Enjoy. xx
