I never thought I’d say it but I’m really appreciating the beautiful harmonies of a cappella southern gospel music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTjK...

Also it really drove me mad that despite turning off automatic updates Instagram would update itself and change the pricacy settings occasionally. You’d think that was criminal if the folks doing it weren’t involved in law making.

Just deleted Instagram and other social media apps from my phone. I’ll just be using them as websites now. They track and sell every piece of data they can to anybody and give it to law enforcement So they can track citizens.

I’m here for your snow pictures.

My grandma used disposable plates for everything later in life. I used to think that was so wasteful. Now that I have a kid and spend approximately 50% of my free time doing dishes I totally get it.

new blog post! blog.dollarcountry.org/2026/01/23/l...

Mailmaxxing Thursday.

Here’s a very specific gripe to my world of collecting odd and rare country. I’ve bought multiple unknown country 45s with E.T. in the title and most of them have just been about Ernest Tubb. I have lots of songs about pop culture and aliens so it’s possible it would be about the other E.T.

There are like 10 people like me in the world who love country and 70s dub reggae. This is for you m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ckx6...

I hate when bands are mysterious about their sounds like this.

An advertisement for a Rev Charles “The Sackcloth Prophet“ Young revival in San Bernadino California. I love how this looks part evangelical, part 80s speed metal, and part DIY wrestling all as one. Truly a catching advertisement. Young with his wife and brother performed as the Young Bros Trio.

A somewhat legendary sermon record. I’ve never listened but I keep a copy around for some reason.

“Back in my day we had to buy our ambient chill playlist on VINYL!”

Look at it

Art showing you the One Way

New sticker coming soon

This has been a great way to meet Doug Sahm fans not from Texas

Here is my controversial take 90% of whether or not like Doug Sahm‘s music has to do with if you are from or in Texas.

You can now listen to any dollar country episode from 1-257 on the website. That’s over 5000 songs, the majority of which are things I’ll bet are new to you. dollarcountry.org/episodes

What does it mean to be “living in Canaan”? A lot of gospel songs mention it and Im not sure what it means.

This band name is pronounced ”slow ass brothers” and nobody will tell me different.

What’s happening at the DC archives? Find out at the blog post blog.dollarcountry.org/2026/01/06/j...

The answer may shock you!

I appreciate that so many brave eBay sellers dare ask the question “what if I posted this $3 record for auction starting at $40?”

My band used to play New Year’s Eve. I can’t imagine being out until 4 tonight. Loading in and loading out, drinking my weight in pbr. It was fun but I’ll leave it to the youth for this one.

got some sweet adding machines today

My only plans for Christmas besides spending time with my family is to make the sandwiches from the first episode of twin peaks. Butter and Brie on baguette, eaten from the middle.

New episode of Dollar Country up now! dollarcountry.org/items/show/3...

Just got these new stickers in the mail. Grab em here: dollarcountry.bigcartel.com

Update at the DC Blog: blog.dollarcountry.org/2025/12/13/d...

One of my favorite things about music is that I can listen to something I don't like initially and over more time with it I can learn to appreciate it. I didn't used to like country gospel, but now I do.

I recently learned that doing donuts in a car is called "whipping shitties" by some people in the northern USA. Can anyone corroborate this?

I made a label video of the Bummer Xmas Mix www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTia...

A Bummer Xmas Mix by Dollar Country dollarcountry.org Give it a listen at the website or apple podcasts or mixcloud.

So far the problem with my bummer xmas mix is that there are too many songs about christmas in vietnam. Not enough for a whole mix, but I can't let them take over the whole thing.

This mix was made a couple years ago, and I'm going to make a new one this year because somehow really sad xmas songs just find their way to me. I just found one about how a blind girl can't see how beautiful her christmas lights are. Why did someone make this song? No clue, but I'm glad they did.

Just put a Bummer Xmas Mix up on the patreon. It's got christmas in jail, vietnam, and other places. Check it out at the link! www.patreon.com/posts/bummer...

Just got my favorite type of compliment in the mail today.

Dollar Country Episode 256: All about K-Ark Records! Listen at dollarcountry.org/items/show/1... or apple podcasts.

My kid turns two soon. If there's one thing I've learned from having a baby it's that your brain turns to nearly useless mush for at least a year and it's OK to not remember plans, say no to things, not be able to get everything done, and generally be a scatter brained zombie for a while.

Here's the link to all the stuff on the database that includes audio. Just added about 20 songs this week! dollarcountry.org/items/browse...

Just uploaded this audio the database of Jim Birdwell and the Traveling Texans. Two really great tunes that have a great sound. Lord I Tried is an absolutely brutal song about a car accident. dollarcountry.org/items/show/2...

I'm happy to announce that I've been asked back to do another 6 shows on NTS radio for 2026.

This is the sticker equivalent of wearing your band's shirt at your own gig.

@phonicunderground.bsky.social asked me about these discs they found yesterday and I did some sleuthing and found some interesting stuff. These are instantaneous discs, which is the broad classification of discs that were not pressed, but cut in real time, often on an at-home lathe machine. --->
