Bluegrass, Newgrass and Mandolins!

[Curious_AJ]

I've seen most of those guys in concert as well. Gotten drunk with quite a few of 'em as well.

*gasp!* damn you!

one person I'd get drunk with any day would be Willie Nelson. He's a legend right thar.

You, me, and 95% of the US population.

Eric Clapton - Willie And The Hand Jive Lyrics


(Johnny Otis)
I know a cat named Way-Out Willie,
Got a cool little chick named Rocking Millie.
He can walk and stroll and Susie Q
And do that crazy hand jive, too.

Mama, mama, look at Uncle Joe
Doing the hand jive with sister Flo.
Grandma gave baby sister a dime;
Said, "Do that hand jive one more time."

[Chorus:]
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive,
Do that crazy hand jive.

Doctor and a lawyer and an Indian chief,
They all dig that crazy beat.
Way-Out Willie gave them all a treat
When he did that hand jive with his feet.

[Chorus]

Willie and Millie got married last fall.
They had a little Willie junior and that ain't all.
Well, the kids got crazy and it's plain to see,
Doing the hand jive on T.V.

[Chorus]

[Curious_AJ]

Tell that man of yours to get "The Red Headed Stranger" on LP.

he probably wouldn't like it...

Some excellent versions of these songs, and damn near a best of for DBT. A great little story told by Patterson Hood in 18 Wheels of Love where he describes how his mother ran off with a trucker (true story apparently), and a cracker version of my favourite Rolling Stones track, Moonlight Mile.

I've managed to amass a rather large Drive-by Truckers collection over the last year, and also gotten hold of Jason Isbell's latest album, Sirens of the Ditch, which is very much his style, that kind of Tom Petty meets Bruce Springsteen thing. Joe Neff was with the band by then, and his pedal steel guitar is just brilliant.

I got the latest album Brighter than Creation's Dark a few months ago, and while I miss Jason Isbell's stuff, its still got some good stuff on it. Interesting to see Sohanna Tucker finally singing a few tracks.

haven't read this whole thread, but the "Brother Where art Thou" soundtrack has good songs to play.

I used to do a bit of busking on queen st with a banjo player, doing the Beverley Hill Billy's Theme song and Duelling Banjos.

Bluegrass is fun, but I haven't really listened to that much of it.
