Bands you’ve probably never heard of, but should be listening to – Part 1
Lucero – Great rock band that keeps on getting better with each album.
The Stone Coyotes – Awesome rock/country/metal/americana band. Guitars, drums, & bass. Music for grown-ups who still feel young.
Scott Miller (also Scott Miller and the Commonwealth, and the V-Roys) – More great basic rock & roll & country.
Langhorne Slim – Kinda quirky & strange, sort of folk/pop, but nearly impossible to not sing along with after a couple listens. Some rough language.
Southern Culture on the Skids – Awesome and hilarious trailer-trash/swamp/surf/mexican wrestling/ 50’s horror movie rock & roll.
Ray Wylie Hubbard – Tremendous songwriter with a serious blues/country sound. Funny, profound, and profane, often all in the same song. Not for the faint of heart.
The Deadstring Brothers – Modern version of the classic Stones/Faces/Free sound, especially the 1st 3 albums.
Jay Farrar (also Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt, Gob Iron) – Very atmospheric cowpunk & rock.
Lloyd and moonsthoughts readers I have another suggestion for an artist you should be listening to if you are not. John Fullbright is a young singer songwriter who is making some great Americana music. He is not exactly unknown since he was nominated for a Grammy last year but if you have not listened he is definitely worth checking out.
Cool. Thanks Ray, I’ll check him out & let you know what I think. Later.
