Ian Tyson...a poet and a cowboy. Formerly of the 60s folk group, Ian and Sylvia. He moved west to Alberta and became a rodeo cowboy, and then rancher after he and Sylvia broke up. He writes beautiful, poetic, modern cowboy music. We saw him in Berkeley, of all places, 3 months ago. Mostly old hippies in the audience, but there were a few stetson-wearing folks there, as well. At age 73, he is still amazing. My favorite Tyson songs, "Springtime in Alberta," and also "Summer Wages." Favorite album is "Live at Longview."

"Another good one from Roxy Music. Haunting tune."
Your video has been deleted from youtube. What song was it? I think my favorite from Roxy Music is their cover of "like a hurricane". The audio is cleaner in my mp4, but here's the youtube version:

"And being a fan of alt. country. My new favorite.......
The Ginn Sisters"
Just checked 'em out. Nice!
They were around awhile ago, but for alt.country, I like Lone Justice:

A really good Bluegrass/old time band is "Uncle Earl." Four talented women who can REALLY play. If anyone's gonna be in Joshua Tree around 10/20-21/07 they'll be playing at the Joshua Tree Roots Festival.

Tim is a great guy. I grew up in Chico, and know him from way back. He still climbs when he is not rockin' the house, or surfing. I talked to him not too terribly long ago, and he still salavates at talk of Tuoloumne granite, but the life of a rock star is demanding! This event is a good excuse for him to get back out into the mountains. I was half thinking about going myself. Do they even allow Banjo players? Hahaha

Yah, second that Uncle Earl, their latest effort is brilliant.
Here's a great daft video from Menomena. Ya'll may not be aware that Portland is in fact the center of the universe, but I assure you that it is true.

I've been rockn out to James McMurtry lately.
We Can't Make it Here"
Lyrics
Vietnam Vet with a cardboard sign
Sitting there by the left turn line
Flag on the wheelchair flapping in the breeze
One leg missing, both hands free
No one's paying much mind to him
The V.A. budget's stretched so thin
And there's more comin' home from the Mideast war
We can't make it here anymore
That big ol' building was the textile mill
It fed our kids and it paid our bills
But they turned us out and they closed the doors
We can't make it here anymore
See all those pallets piled up on the loading dock
They're just gonna set there till they rot
'Cause there's nothing to ship, nothing to pack
Just busted concrete and rusted tracks
Empty storefronts around the square
There's a needle in the gutter and glass everywhere
You don't come down here 'less you're looking to score
We can't make it here anymore
The bar's still open but man it's slow
The tip jar's light and the register's low
The bartender don't have much to say
The regular crowd gets thinner each day
Some have maxed out all their credit cards
Some are working two jobs and living in cars
Minimum wage won't pay for a roof, won't pay for a drink
If you gotta have proof just try it yourself Mr. CEO
See how far 5.15 an hour will go
Take a part time job at one of your stores
Bet you can't make it here anymore
High school girl with a bourgeois dream
Just like the pictures in the magazine
She found on the floor of the laundromat
A woman with kids can forget all that
If she comes up pregnant what'll she do
Forget the career, forget about school
Can she live on faith? live on hope?
High on Jesus or hooked on dope
When it's way too late to just say no
You can't make it here anymore
Now I'm stocking shirts in the Wal-Mart store
Just like the ones we made before
'Cept this one came from Singapore
I guess we can't make it here anymore
Should I hate a people for the shade of their skin
Or the shape of their eyes or the shape I'm in
Should I hate 'em for having our jobs today
No I hate the men sent the jobs away
I can see them all now, they haunt my dreams
All lily white and squeaky clean
They've never known want, they'll never know need
Their sh@# don't stink and their kids won't bleed
Their kids won't bleed in the da$% little war
And we can't make it here anymore
Will work for food
Will die for oil
Will kill for power and to us the spoils
The billionaires get to pay less tax
The working poor get to fall through the cracks
Let 'em eat jellybeans let 'em eat cake
Let 'em eat sh$%, whatever it takes
They can join the Air Force, or join the Corps
If they can't make it here anymore
And that's how it is
That's what we got
If the president wants to admit it or not
You can read it in the paper
Read it on the wall
Hear it on the wind
If you're listening at all
Get out of that limo
Look us in the eye
Call us on the cell phone
Tell us all why
In Dayton, Ohio
Or Portland, Maine
Or a cotton gin out on the great high plains
That's done closed down along with the school
And the hospital and the swimming pool
Dust devils dance in the noonday heat
There's rats in the alley
And trash in the street
Gang graffiti on a boxcar door
We can't make it here anymore
