  1. Smile

    The Jayhawks release their 6th album on May 9, 2000. It's quite the departure for die-hard 'hawks fans ... including this one. But after a few listens -- and Baby, Baby, Baby on 11 under the cans ... all was well. There's a little more pop than alt-country/altr-rock but the Jayhawks sound is there. Just rub those eyes and step high and light ... #thejayhawks #smile #altrock #pop #poprock #alternativerock #altcountry #alternativecountry #janglepop #powerpop

  3. "Picture" is a #duet written by American music artists #KidRock and #SherylCrow, released on November 12, 2002, as the fourth single and ninth track from Kid Rock's 2001 album #Cocky. The original recording on the album is performed by the song's writers. Rock re-recorded the song for radio with #alternativeCountry singer #AllisonMoorer because Atlantic was initially unable to get the rights from Crow's label to release the album version as a single.

  5. A Bonnie "Prince" Billy kind of morning in this apartment, one of his most upbeat albums in Lie Down in The Light cause I love depressing death ballads by Will Oldham but this seemed like the more motivating choice to start my day with.

  8. On 14 April 2009, Bill "Smog" Callahan released his second album "Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle" under his own name.

    "Well I used to be darker/Then I got lighter, then I got dark again"

    "Just before the curtain falls, thoughts drift back to 1996, when Callahan proclaimed: "Life's a joke / A waiting game".

    13 years later, on his 13th album, he has found peace by breaking with it".

    Richmond Fontaine - Western Skyline

    #RichmondFontaine was a four-piece #alternativecountry band based in #Portland, #Oregon. Like Franz Ferdinand or Jethro Tull, the band was named after a real person but like Leonard Skinnerd their namesake was not famous prior to being adopted by the band.

  13. Discovered the Adieu False Heart (2006) album by Linda Ronstadt and Ann Savoy.
    Chills.
    Haunting mix of folk, bluegrass, and cajun, by voices as restorative as cool, clear water and as intoxicating as bourbon.
