Check Out Cherry Holmes

Heard a bluegrass band the other day. I was surprised that I liked their music. I’m not normally a fan of bluegrass. But their style was less twangy and more modern in some way. If you have a chance to give them a listen, I’d recommend you grab it.

Speedy Recovery Billy Joe Shaver

Dylan — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 05:12:51 +0000

Just happened across a casual mention about Billy Joe Shaver and checked it out by searching Google. Turns out Billy Joe had heart surgery recently and is in recovery from that. I don’t know why the local music rags didn’t pick up on that story – there’s a whole lot of people in this town who have recorded Billy Joe Shaver songs. You would think they would notice something major like that.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Billy Joe.

Tin Pan South

Dylan — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 00:27:52 +0000

This whole week, Nashville’s clubs are dedicated to songwriters. We are hosting the Tin Pan South festival and conference. This is the perfect time to hear the people who write songs perform them the way they wrote them. An all access pass is only $90 for unlimited shows at a dozen different venues. Looking forward to hearing a lot of great music this week.

Billy Joe Shaver

Billy Joe Shave is one of the best songwriters ever. His songs have been recorded and performed by hundreds of musicians. His life has been a typical country song, as well. If you get a chance to hear one of his shows, you won’t be disappointed.

Boring March Madness

Dylan — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 00:46:29 +0000

The little bit that I watch TV is usually on CBS. But for the past several days they have been broadcasting nothing but college basketball games for the March Madness tournament games. I like a good pro game of basketball – live – once in a while. But watching basketball on TV is boring as hell. I am just leaving the TV off and listening to music for the night.

CRS Week

Dylan — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 18:26:51 +0000

This week is a weird one in Nashville. It is the week that country music radio stations are taken around town to a lot of dog and pony shows. They are wined and dined and seranaded by all the labels. There are huge stars here, mixed in with dozens of hopefuls. Tonight I’m heading out to the Renaissance Hotel to hear a showcase anchored by Billy Dean. It will be really good to see him again – it’s been years.

No Grammy Surprises

Dylan — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 05:30:36 +0000

The Grammys were so predictable. I picked every winner except for Lady Antebellum. I don’t like that group all that much, and let my personal distaste for them cloud my judgement.

The show was too long and I got bored with it. They need to do something different next year if they want to keep the young viewers coming back to watch it.
