R.I.P. Chip Taylor, the songwriter best known for "Wild Thing" and "Angel Of The Morning.” Born James Voight (he was the brother of actor Jon Voight), he also released dozens of his own albums and wrote songs recorded by Willie Nelson, Linda Ronstadt, and the Hollies. stereogum.com/2493499/wild...

Happy to share my memories of recording with Augie. I'm forever fortunate to be a footnote in a hero's discography.

I just saw that my beloved engaged in social media for the first time in a year. For good reason!

Fans of Doug Sahm/Groover's Paradise & Chicano Gospel RocknRoll: Frank "the Wild Jalapeno" Rodarte's debut album at age 83 is up for pre-order. Songs by JDD, Reigning Sound Greg, Bill Callahan (Smog tune). Bandcamp Pre-order up right here: frankthewildjalapenorodarte.bandcamp.com/album/the-re...

Surprise to no one, I'm sure: this is not the first time someone has shared my music & used the word "flem" in describing our shared experience.

& on the existential (rhetorical?) opener, "Why Do Men Sing?" the irony & pathos is jacked up w. backing vocals of the wondrous Eve Searls. (AKA, my wife).

I'm putting my Big Boy hat on tomorrow to slide into a TGIF. 🎩

I never played for Boston and I hold my bat like Rod Carew.

A must-read Joe Ely article. Loved every time I saw him play. A true legend.

I played tambourine on this song. But, EVE SEARLS is the gorgeous backing vocalist you hear with Bill. @chrisdeville.bsky.social 😍

I don't own any guitar pedals so once again in a psych music list for being psych-ologically unwell. Happy to be here & thanks for listening.

Me too, but never seen his baseball card before.

SNOCK DOC. Check out a homespun short film that gives us a highly personalized snapshot of the late/great Michael Hurley circa 2009.

This is not me after being beheaded for my many 2025 sins, but I am happy to be on the list beside Bobby Charles's smile.

My "Happy New Month" well-wishes earlier today sank w/ no warm responses. However, I'm still sharing this with everyone bc this website is an essential PSA for everyone buying new vinyl that cares about sound. Great installment here.

Happy New Month.

🦃Turkey Themed.

Always fun to remember that this is the only album that Neil Young has ever released on his birthday.

Thank you, Mr. Altavista!! 😍

I'm playing a house show in Austin, Texas on Saturday early evening w/ Amy Annelle & Dwight Smith. DM me if you want the address or curious about what I'll be wearing.

This is an accurate post. It is being nominated for Album of the Year for Best Vinyl Lacquer Cut & Pressing for an Album with Pedal Steel that Foreshadows Open Heart Surgery.

An album that should appeal to longtime fans of Hurley's weathered leather folk forms. A singular voice; part town square truth teller, part vaudeville spell caster. His songs ramble though grassy blues, tied up with burn pile smoke and sweet breezes, while retaining a studio charm. bit.ly/3KB3PM6

💎💸💎🎶I'm back for my second installment.

For the 4th time this year, I had another "festival" offer rescinded when I told them I don't have a band, so sharing this as example of how you accommodate a solo acoustic act not on a label or working with an agent: PUT ME AT THE BOTTOM.

Oh thank you. I'll "see you" next month!! 🤑

I just logged on here for the first time in a few weeks, but I am still running so...🏃💓🏃💓

Bill wore a green shirt in Ireland. I wore a blue shirt bc I'm from Blueland.

"[H]e has a peculiar way of guiding you into his world." Live review: Bill Callahan, @jerrydaviddecicca.bsky.social at Liverpool's Arts Club. sun-13.com/2025/07/07/b...

And played on Elyse Weinberg's Greasepaint Smile lp.

Everything in here is true.

Just seeing this post-tour since the only app on my phone is for a flashlight... thank you!!!!

Great article, & hope this encourages many to explore the Worried Songs catalog. There's not many labels like them anymore. Ah remember the days when decisions were made w ears & not algorithms... how quaint...

Cardiac Country keeps chuggin' along! Thank you for the sweet review!

A very appropriate pun headline considering Nic Cage was my surgeon. Thx for the excellent review.

I'm hitting the road next month & I'm taking a pedal steeler & singer with me. JDD trio will be visiting these fine towns. Greg Cartwright & Styrofoam Winos & Matt Rowan will show us up on select dates. Hope to see you. Please tell your friends.

I love this music site, so extra happy to talk about myself here. Thank you, Tonearm! 🏃💓🔪👻🎩💧(emojis for most songs included here)

Thanks, Ben! & when I read this on Friday, I saw Pug (on the list above me) was playing 4 miles from my house that same night. No one plays within even 30 miles of my house!! So I went to a rural strip mall bar & watch him slay-George Jones, Billy Joe Shaver, his own tunes. All killer!

Very happy to be inside this nice article that says nice things about my music. Thank you!

It is 100% coincidence that I scheduled this the same weekend as the Austin Record Show. I would never intentionally detour my life & drive 2 hours to buy records from some of the best dealers in the world.

If you're in Austin, TX, or know someone who is, I'll be playing a Cardiac Country record release/happy hour show this Saturday from 5-7 at the Aristocrat Lounge. I drew a cute flyer too.

Target audience.

You earned it! Thanks for always listening up north, DA!

I've listened to it allot, too! Thank you, James!! 💓See you soon-ish.

Thank you, Mr. Doom & Gloom.

Cardiac Country entered the world today. I hope you enjoy it.

Thank you, Ross! 💓

Truth bomb!! 💓

Oh yeah!!! Thank you, CE!!

I love this review of Cardiac Country. Thank you, R.O.!
