Milton Mapes is my new obsession. And, in typical fashion of being late to the game, they're no longer a band.
Centro-Matic has also getting a significant amount of air play from me.
-
I've also been enjoying a lot of Hayes Carll lately. I dig the way he carries his voice. Plus, dude has a hell of a sense of humor.
-
Just in case one of you cares, Jason Isbell - Southeastern is my current album of the year.
Him performing a song off the record on Sirus Outlaw Country:
-
Milton Mapes - like!
Centro-matic - meh
Hayes Carll - like the music, wish the humor stayed before and after the song
Jason Isbell - I loved the mellow ballad vibe, but the foul language grated hard against the experience. Good voice and instrumental performance; lyrics need work, imo.

I'm surprised at that, since his lyricism is generally considered one of his strong points. Here's an older tune.
And here's a tune he wrote when he was with the Drive-by Truckers, performed with his band.
and more Hayes Carll

I just meant that as a reference to the jarring, out-of-place foul language. As I said, I otherwise liked what I heard.
-
Yeah the F-bomb was really out of place for me, at first.
-
James McMurtry (son of Larry McMurtry, author of Lonesome Dove) writes great songs. This is one of my favorites.
-
Interesting, I didn't know his son was a musician. I have both of his memoirs.
-
I've been listening to this guy quite a bit lately. His debut album was on a lot of people's top 10 lists for 2013. Guy is legit.
-
I can get behind that.
