@Riffwanker Vinegar Syndrome is releasing Alley Cat

man haven’t seen that in years haha

this is dope

I don’t listen to a ton of country anymore but this hit my shuffle and I forgot how good it was

@branmalt

Looks so dope

When I first saw that artwork years back I thought it said 'Sir Luscious Left Foot'
I was like what is so luscious about this man's left foot lmao, still have to take a sec to read it the right way

right haha a good country tune just warms you up like

@drjdeponytail @branmalt

@elric jackie chan is a huge buster keaton/charlie chaplin fan makes sense but i never thought about it. he recreated some of their scenes in his movies too.

Chaplin told his goverment to f*** off whereas Jackie sucks CCPenis but yeah i would put Jackie in the slapstick lineage just off Drunken Master

his government shilling is unfortunate but it doesnt make his movies any less awesome

my dad loves The Big Brawl. I should peep that soon.

as if Tom Jones performing with CSNY wasnt enough heres him with Chet Atkins and Jerry Lee Lewis sounding pretty great lol

also judging from this id say Jerry Lees country stuff will be excellent

agreed

Rumble In The Bronx always gonna be the zenith for me just cause it has gritty 90s Vancouver standing in for New York and i saw it in the theatre

yeah rumble and police story 1 & 2 are the best. i watched those a lot as a kid. my mom used to get her nails done at this chinese place and she would drag me with her, and they always had his movies on. i remember seeing enter the dragon there too.

hmm not sure if i've seen that one

@Elric

apparently manfred had another less commercial band in between his big 2, just skimming through it seems alright, pretty jazzy with horns

this makes me wonder how many country singer-pianists there are. cant say ive came across a single one

Ray Charles the only one I can think of

Works really nice

Ken Burns actually covered that in the documentary... Piano's were too heavy to lug around all the time and couldn't cut across the noise of a crowd as well as a guitar or fiddle

yeah i remember that part just finished the bit on Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers is next. synchronizing with my listening of both of their respective main compilations last week

Oh s*** you're doing more thorough homework than me only listened to a few jams (knew Jimmie for a while tho)

Crazy how widely those two are considered the foundations of country music now that I'm looking elsewhere. Seems like everyone that made music before the 60s grew up listening to the Carter family on the radio. Elvis, Dylan, Cash etc all give them top props. Ol Cash must have felt like he married a princess considering June was deadass royalty.

yeah im gonna go hard with the extreme dust, at least while my interest is so piqued. also feel like with such a traditional genre its a little harder for the even dustier stuff to seem as outdated to a newcomer, it doesnt feel like that extreme of a jump from Hank back to Jimmie. not sure how much I'll really be able to get into it (compared to Hank who I already love) but I'm at least enjoying it all on some level

got Roy Acuff and Bob Wills compilations ready to go too
