Bluesky seems to have a 'live' feature now

I just noticed today that there's a 'go live' option. I haven't done that on other platforms since Reddit had it's pandemic-era RPAN streaming feature (RIP- that was awesome) and I know it's a thing everywhere else and I'm the last person to pay attention to those outside of YouT

Wyoming: 50 States of Country Music - by Donnie C. Cutler (Country Cutler blog on Substack)

Donnie C Cutler has written about independent country music in quite a few outlets but his sub stack blog is a PHENOMENAL place to learn about artists. This year he's doing a state-by-state breakdown. He started with Alabama already but looks like he's jumping around the alphabet

Giota Gianna - Ο Άμλετ της σελήνης (Στην υγειά μας) {17/11/2018}

Giota Gianna was a fascinating musician and singer from Greece whose harmonica playing reminds me of some of their more usual folk instruments. She was active most of her life as a nightclub performer and I think actress, but was recorded only in her 80's. I'm not super familia

Deke Dickerson's books The Strat In The Attic (and sequel)

I read the Strat In The Attic book (there's apparently a Volume 2) recently and MY GOD it's fantastic. It's the story of how he (a vintage country/jazz/rockabilly guitar god) spent a ton of time chasing down rumors of old guitars, figured out the provenance of various guitars, an

Crooks And Straights (Croatia)- Red Robin

FANTASTIC neotraditional country from Croatia. They're trying to tour the US and are running some kind of gofundme to help pay their way- not surprisingly it's hard to be a country artist over there. I'll post their link in the comments.

New Ashley McBryde video is INTENSE: What If We Don't

Ashley McBryde's last couple of releases and videos hint at an intense upcoming album about trauma (?). She's probably the best of the mainstream- her songwriting is probably closer to the independent singer-songwriters than anyone else who's part of mainstream country, and her s

Any chance of copying the user-curated starterpack idea?

one useful feature that Bluesy pioneered was a tool that allowed users to make lists of accounts they follow that they could then share with other users . It's easier than just telling people to click on a bunch of accounts to follow, one by one. People used this tool to make st

Amazing songwriting about a queer kid -Jeffrey Martin - Red Station Wagon

Bales Of Cocaine - The Reverend Horton Heat

I'm continuing with a rockabilly theme today but really this is also hillbilly bop, which was a style in the '50s that was midway between rockabilly and very silly country. Lots of people like those band have resurrected that
