“The Wild Side of Life” from Hank Thompson’s 1964 LP Golden Country Hits. It featured covers of country hits and a few of his own, including this one that inspired Kitty Wells’ answer song, “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels.” #country #westernswing #hankthompson #vinyl

"Maybellene" is a #rockAndRoll song by American artist #ChuckBerry, adapted in part from the #westernSwing fiddle tune "Ida Red". Released in 1955, Berry’s song tells the story of a #hotRod race and a broken romance, the lyrics describing a man driving a #V8 #Ford and chasing his unfaithful girlfriend in her #CadillacCoupeDeVille. It was released in July 1955 as a #single by #ChessRecords, of #ChicagoIllinois. Berry's first hit.

This twangy song's been in my head all day, so it's my pick for #MondayCovers.

Musical Interlude: Joshua Hedley just released his new album, "All Hat." He's one of the few country artists I follow, largely because of his experimental and retro style. His first album, "Mr. Jukebox," was a tribute to 60s country; his second, "Neon Blue," was 90s-style, and now "All Hat" is a tribute Western swing. It's fun and lighthearted, a rarity today.
"All Hat (No Cattle)," performed by Joshua Hedley.

“Real country – plain and simple.”
George Strait releases his debut album on September 4, 1981. The record launched his legendary career and many call it a key album in the neo-traditional country movement that countered the pop-country trends of the time. George came 'round just in time.

I've been listening to KPHT-LP #radio a lot lately. Good mix of dumb #CountryMusic comedy, #WesternSwing, #Blues, country #rock, trucker and CB radio songs, and more. I've heard everything from Jerry Reed to Cab Calloway.
I was worried about their politics until they played a Jim Hightower segment, so they seem to lean left.

When I was in music retail in the 80’s, I met a friend who compiled this tape for me of American music. He airbrushed the tape itself, and listed the tracks in the smallest, but legible writing I have seen. It’s an amazing range of work, and a precious gift that I’ve treasured ever since.
If you get a chance, check out some of the tracks, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks Neil. 🙏

Take a delectable turn around the dance floor on The Dogweeds’ Honey Moon. If you’re looking for a time portal to smoky road houses, Western swing, and kitten heels, let The Dogweeds carry you there. This compact EP features timeless songs of love, loss and revenge, and cord-taught guitar solos that are as technical as they are melodic.

Musical Interlude: How about a snow song? It can be hard to play winter-themed music as people tend to view it as Christmas, but c'mon, there's a ton of great tunes about winter that aren't holiday-specific. Here's a bit of Western Swing that seems appropriate for a snowy day.
"Snowflakes," performed by Cliff Bruner.

It’s sadly rare in my digging to find a Buddy Emmons track this hot outta the studio. Seemingly when he was on his own he wanted to do more chill jazz, which is cool but doesn’t really do it for me. The other notable exception I’ve found is the version of Unvle Pen off “Buddies” with #violinist Buddy Spicher. Verges on #westernswing and #hardbop
Honestly I probably need to spend some time digging through Buddy as an accompanist. Shoutout to Take for having this.

LA's Rah Rah Rabbit add some punk grit to their Western swing in their joyful kiss-off song "Game You're Playing"

There’s nothing quite like country music for songs about hard times. Here’s one for some of the people doing it tough with the current cost of living.
Asleep At The Wheel, ‘A Dollar Short And A Day Late’. Western Swing at its finest.

Joshua Hedley is soooo good. Great voice, quality fiddle and guitar, a crazy deep knowledge of western & country music history, and a good band. And a delightful co-headliner Lauren Morrow. http://joshuahedley.com/home

I’m off to the city to see a man about a #bass today. I’ll actually be auditioning a few Kays. I’ve been squeaking by for decades without a backup, and it finally caught up to me. My King is out of commission and on a long waiting list to get into the shop.
I need something for heavy gigging #Rockabilly #HonkyTonk #Bluegrass #WesternSwing and #Folk. I love the clack of a rosewood fingerboard, and I’m looking forward to having that option. Ebony fingerboards click (which I also love). #Basstodon
