aupops2 9 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Good morning, everyone. Just heard, that Taylor Swift just donated $4 million to the Country Music Hall of Fame. When I lived in Hendersonville, I knew the Swift family, went to church etc,. so I follow her a lot. She donated almost $1 mil to the flood relief in 2010 also. Just a remarkable 22-year old, very beautiful young lady!! And an Auburn fan, too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telling tiger 156 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Good morning sir How're you guys doing? Weekend was good, Worked a little, played a little and slept a little. As much as Drac, barn and me have talked about Steve Earle, I cannot believe you didn't see it at some point. TALENTED family. Allison Moorer,wife(alabama girl) singer/songwriter, Justin Townes Earle(son) singer/songwriter, Shelby Lynne (another Alabama girl and Allison's sister) singer/songwriter. The family probably has 10 Grammy's among them. Steve's album "Townes" was an album of nothing but Townes Van Zandt music and won best Americana Grammy. When Steve was a really young hellraiser and he has been a hellraiser for sure, he was always at the foot of TVZ and trying to learn all he could. For more Steve Earle, try, "Copperhead Road", probably his best seller and a rocking A song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjenkins 0 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I know you tend to be busy in the AM and don't have time to look at links but that's what I posted. I've loved that song for years now and just didn't put 2 & 2 together when you guys were talking about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telling tiger 156 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 OK in that case try anything from "Townes", TVZ was and is considered one of the best alt/outlaw/folk/Americana songwriters ever. His lyrics could stand alone as some of the best poetry ever written and then when you add his guitar playing and style into that, his writing just blows me away. He was one of the first to do what is called the "flatpick" style of playing and when functional, the man was amazing. Lived very hard and wrote very real from it. "Be Here To Love Me, I'll Be There in The Morning, Quicksilver Daydreams of Maria, Tecumseh Valley, Waitin Round to Die, For the Sake of the Song, None but the Rain, Our Mother the Mountain, and to put a LOT of icing on the cake, Waiting Around to Die." Pick one, any one and if the writing doesn't blow you away, you got ISSUES!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telling tiger 156 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 There is a reason I listed it twice and with the potential titles to be found of both. This is also the same man who wrote, "Pancho and Lefty", a great song and easily his most recorded and profitable song, but it pales, imo, when compared to some of his other writing. An editor of Rolling Stone, wrote about him the following," TVZ was an ornery, unpredictable genius, a songwriter whose gift offered him salvation and damnation in equal doses. A man of eccentricities and rough edges. A man who understood himself and refused to let light spoil his dark places." Amen and amen, Reverand. A songwriter would kill, select people of course , to be remembered in this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjenkins 0 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I'm very impressed with his songwriting but most of it is just too much country for me. I just plugged him into spotify and hit random and am letting it play through the catalog they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telling tiger 156 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Unless it is a solo acoustic club date, performing was NEVER his strong suit. He was only accepted in the folk community because Nashville never thought he was country enough. Ironic, huh? You guys got to learn when there is an accented difference and a twang difference. TVZ was a Texas hill boy and hung out with the best codiene and smack junkies Austin, Colorado and Houston had at the time. His parents were very wealthy for the time. Other than being from the country, there was no country music influence in him, it was all delta and Memphis blues. He was more comfortable around Lightin Hopkins than he was around Little Jimmy Dickens. He was much more a college coffee house man when he was starting out. Check out "White Freightliner Blues" the white tracks ain't talking about the railroad kind, ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telling tiger 156 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 No artist fits in at a coffee house, it's one of the few places he could be heard when he started. Trust me that changed a whole bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
