Thanks all, you got me quite hyped for the show, haha. "The Ballad of Doon & Juanita" was my most listened to album of the year a few years ago, so excited to hopefully hear some tunes from that. I'm an American living over 3 years in Norway now, and I'm starting to miss home more often lately, so looking forward to some great live country and Americana tunes.

 

he's been playing "Juanita" quite regularly but you never know since the setlist changes every night, haha. if you need any last additional hype before the show tonight i can also recommend hyden's review of the tour from last year. enjoy the show tonight!

Sturgill Simpson/Johnny Blue Skies Is 2024’s Most Exciting Tour

 

Evan Bartels released a “new” song (it’s actually a re-recorded song off a little 2019 EP) but I really hope this means he’s got a new full length coming this year.

 

Fuckkkkk I just won a ticket to see Wyatt Flores here in Sydney next week at an invite only show in a tiny ass bar. He’s coming all the way here and only playing a festival in another state so wasn’t going to get to see him otherwise.

 

Wyatt Flores to like 60 people. What a freakin night!

 

Listened to the new David Ramirez. Unfortunately it didn’t do anything for me. Fables and We’re Not Going Anywhere were so good but nothing since has clicked in the same way.

 

Digging the new Ryan Hurd album way more than I thought I would. I especially appreciate the Jack's Mannequin reference in this song:

 

I was just coming here to say I enjoyed the new Ryan Hurd

 

New Brown Horse is really nice.

Fits in nicely with some of the other recent indie/americana releases from artist like MJ Lendrrman, Merce Lemon, Fust, etc.

 

whoa, this is a huge surprise for me! did people know about this...???

 

Nope, as far as I know just surprise announced today.

 

so awesome, I can't wait to hear it

 

Well well well

 

this just made my week for real haha

 

Muscadine Bloodline, Turnpike, and Jon Pardi all dropping on the same day is some sort of music holiday for me. Damn.

 

Loved my first listen of Turnpike and Muscadine. Bad weekend to be a beer in Summit County, CO.

 

Both are good. Very happy.

 

I haven't fallen in love with an album so quickly & so hard as I have with the new Turnpike Troubadours in a long time

 

Its pretty good pretty good.

 

I was trying to hold my expectations in check a bit once I found out they went with Shooter Jennings again, but from a songwriting perspective he / they absolutely knocked this one out of the park for me

 

On the Red River is an odd choice of an opener to be kind but the song absolutely rules.

 

yeah, the main criticism I kept reading from people who actually liked the album was that it is sequenced weird and that's a strange or bad opener. I guess I can see that from an energy / tempo standpoint, but not from an impact standpoint. that is such a fantastic song - it might be my favorite song on the whole album!

 

Def my favorite song on album.
