My issue is usually the twang. I don't know how to describe it but a lot of it just sounds fake. I can't even put my finger on it but some twang doesn't bother me but there is so much out there that raises the hair on my neck. Dwight seems to have a bit of blues mixed in with the stuff I heard and that appeals to me.
I ran across a Slingblade video which led me down a Doyle Hargraves rabbit hole. He has some pretty cool stuff for people like me that don't care for country music in general.
I was yesterday years old when I learned that SRV's Strat was owned by Christopher Cross (yes, of yacht rock fame) before Stevie owned it. This fun fact reminded me that Cross is actually an extremely talented guitarist.
I'm 56 years old. I consider myself of reasonable intelligence, am professionally employed and would be considered by many to be well spoken.
Still, these are the things that make me laugh:
We bought furniture from Ashley recently and they kept us up to date on schedules etc via e-mail and text every few weeks. It is a very well run business from my experience. We even received the furniture ahead of their projected date.
Just finished the Adam Carolla interview of Jewel and visited this song. Holy crap. From about halfway on she absolutely kills. She's an artist I missed but I am going to do a deep dive now.
Amphetamines were discovered in the late 19th century so I would suspect that maybe The Babe, who was known to abuse some things, could have been a fan.
The end of the contract is the reward for the meat of the contract. The money was spread out a couple of extra years knowing that the value of 10 million dollars was different from 10 million dollars 9 years later.
