My stick figures are are truly works of art.

The Cate Brothers, twins Ernie and Earl, scored a hit and appearance on Bandstand in the mid '70s.  They toured and recorded several albums, before the dust settled on them as a one hit wonder.  They enjoyed a resurgence in popularity in the '90s with the addition of wunderkind David Renko on sax.  Musicians from Austin to Tulsa to Memphis and Nashville damn sure know who they are.  Earl lives up the road from me and can still bring it.

Here they are with famed Levon Helm.  That's Levon's nephew, Terry Cagle also on drums.

You have a sticky figure?

^^^^^^^ This is what I am talking about.

I am not into country, but if you like it, THAT is what this thread is all about. Posting ANYTHING, you think should have had more attention.

Oh yeah.  Except that's not country.  Nashville wouldn't touch it.  You'd have to record that in Memphis or Muscle Shoals.  That's what Bugs Henderson called American Music.  Speaking of Bugs.

My godfather (who was a VERY big deal in the folk music world) said the best banjo player he ever knew ran a tuck shop in Whitehead, Co. Antrim.  No one other than the locals knew who he was and he liked it that way.

I know nothing about country, but just listing to this thread all can ask is WTF?

Just listening to the metal rif in this video, it sounds like every Eagles song anyone knows.

Holy shit, why do we fight all the time. MY BEST FRIEND from Oklahoma whom I met in the 2000s was raised in rural Oklahoma and lives there to this day. Don't get him started on banjos, he will talk your ear off. It would not surprise me one bit if he knew what you were talking about.
I don't care if it is country. blues, jazz or rock, if it includes the sax, you have me at sax. I FUCKING LOVE SAX.

Leo Kottke:
An artist I love but that most people I know have never heard of.  Found an 8-Track of 'Ice Water' in the parking lot at a state park when I was in my late teens and have owned it on every format since.  I am partial to guitarists anyway but 12-string is a whole other level.

Ok, so in your entire life, you have NEVER ran into a band, you liked, local or national or unknown. You've never been to a local bar where you listened to their music and thought 
"Damn they are onto something"? 

I don't know what fucking planet you live on, but it isn't earth.

I never thought my opinion was so important that it should change everyone else's concerning a particular artist.

That's what planet I live on.
