The ‘dusters song is “Don”t Mean Nothin’,” one of my favorite co-writes with fiddler/vocalist Jeremy Garrett.

All of those people enter the Marty Stuart giveaway and Ben Foster wins? I’m sure he really needs another CD to add to his collection…(lol)
Trailer’s re-touched album covers are up to his usual standards except who in the hell are some of those people? Hmm…
As I’ve said before recently, I hope the songs on the new Sara Watkins album are more interesting than her last effort. Sara’s got a lot of talent, but a synergistic co-writing partner would be appreciated!
When are we going to see a review of the new Davy Jay Sparrow CD at Engine145? I ordered a copy sound unheard based upon Triggerman’s review down at Saving Country Music and am anxiously waiting to see if it lives up to the praise. I sure hope it does because top quality modern western swing albums are about as rare as hen’s teeth these days, and especially outside of Texas…
Music City Roots returns to the airwaves next week and just in the nick of time! I’ve started to go through Americana withdrawals. (lol)
