Bouvre Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) These two genres may not be my most listened-to, but they do have a lot of gems, and deserve some love now and then.

Bouvre Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 For me, this song is a staple of family reunion campfire songs. I think it's because so many of us live in/near Seattle. Whenever I sing it at family reunions, I change the part about a man needing a woman I always add, "But not really" and my family, knowing I'm gay, gets a kick out of it. But yeah, I love this song with all my heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouvre Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 This is lyrically a hard-hitter, and I admire Townes Van Zandt's writing style so much. Basically the Leonard Cohen of folk/country.Time was like water, but I was the sea. I didn't notice it passing. Except for the turning of night into day, and the turning of day into cursing.

Bouvre Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 And of course, Jerry Garcia + David Grisman knew the loveliness of the genre: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouvre Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Reviving this a little, because this Blaze Foley song (performed here by John Prine) possesses a heart that doesn't waver, even at its most lyrically surreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouvre Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 The lyricism of Giddens' "Julie" is a wonderful example of how omission strengthens very traditional forms of ballads. The writing is strong, her vocals and banjo playing are beautiful and assured. Also I want that style of banjo really badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouvre Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) This one is loads of fun; just wait for that incredibly crisp guitar solo. Edited May 28, 2018 by Bouvre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyBeardmane Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I've never been a big fan of country/bluegrass, but I heard this song on a one of those new jukeboxes in a bar and I fell in love with it immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I really like the other two. I remember Pinegrove playing at my school, but I was busy the night of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
