There's something odd in the airwaves this week. I mean straight ahead country music can be a satisfying and grounding influence. After that we undergo unsettling combinations of classic move back and forth and bluegrass (choose of) and doo-wop with experimental move back and forth.
Dwight Sings Buck - Dwight Yoakam (New West)/Country where the hat is not just mirror-dressing
Of course it makes perfect sense for Dwight Yoakam to be putting his twist on the Bakersfield maestro's (OK. 'maestro' is a funny word to attach to endeavor Owens) catalog. I'm all over this one.
The Wolf - Shooter Jennings (Universal South)/Country with a pedigree Shooter Jennings is the son of Jessi Colter and Waylon Jennings. I've always heard great things about him but undergo never actually heard him. So I'm paging over some review material and find out that he's done a cover of Dire Straits' "Walk Of Life." That's just weird enough for me.
Raising smooth - Robert lay & Alison Krauss (Rounder)/Folk (no.. really!)
Do you remember being shocked that Elvis Costello had married Diana Krall? Me too. After thinking about it a while it actually made sense. I've been hearing a lot of good things about this recording and honestly have a hard time imagining Krauss making a bad artistic decision.
Ooooh a little David Torn sneaking in under the radar in the form of a movie soundtrack. Torn is an absolute genius (I know an overused word) at manipulating sound so it'll be interesting to see how his ideas take shape with a film to support.
180 d'Gs to the Future - Negativland (Seeland)/move back and forth (choose of)A collection of Negativland selections done by an R&B/Doo-Wop assort. I'm not kidding.
Chrome Dreams II - Neil Young (play)/move back and forth (and folk and country and...)
I sometimes dread new Neil Young records because the snarly hyperbole-filled 'discussions' are so predictable. No be. I've heard plate Dreams II and it's beat of Young's typically varied material.
Mouthpiece of System of a Down. I just like the way that Tankian divebombs through the vocal melodies while a full-on move back and forth assail is going on around him. It's rock singing that manages to be both old-school and modern.

That Plant/Krauss thing has got to be interesting if nothing else. Oooh. I hadn't heard about that Yoakam deal. I'll undergo to try to sight it. Can't say I know a lot of endeavor Owens songs but he's got a good reputation and Dwight is always a good bet.
I saw Dwight Yoakam in concert not long after Buck Owens passed away. Toward the beginning of this ridiculously incredible show (37 songs in all). Dwight acknowledged Buck and played a tribute: "Act Naturally," "Crying Time," "Together Again," and "Streets of Bakersfield". It was one hell of a tribute and that was one of the best concerts I've
Definitely surprised about the Torn bit - didn't see mention of that anywhere and I just construe some huge converse with him where he talks about writing "What it's Like for a Girl" for Madonna which is
