In reply to the discussion: Country music aint dead....you just got to dig deeper than the mainstream [View all]Hoyt
(54,770 posts)74. Excellent. My kind of stuff. I used to have a bunch of electric guitars, lap steels, etc. But now,
except for a Precision Bass, I pretty much play acoustic guitar, mandolin and mandola, if you call it playing.
There are a lot of young folks into this kind of music, so I think we'll hear a lot of good stuff coming out.
I'll leave it with a song written by my avatar/Guthrie in 1950s called Old Man Trump, performed by Ryan Harvey, Ani DiFranco, and Tom Morello.

Charlie Thompson is my favorite. He's like 1920s-early '60s country, a top rockabilly cat too

That second one is straight-up 'Travellin' Band' by CCR ... which I'm sure was itself a rip-off ...
