Howdy,
Was glad to see that Dave Insley has a new CD out. His voice always reminds me of Willie Nelson somehow. but rather than outlaw songs, he sings in the spirit of cowboy westerns. On his latest CD though there’s a little honky tonk and even a country-soul crossover which comes of pretty darn good.
With all the good music coming out I’ve been neglecting the backfill the past few months. But last week I bought the Charlie Feathers compilation, Get With It. Wow. Talk about stepping back in time. As you listen to the tracks in chronological order you can elmost hear the evolution of early rockabilly being developed from one song to the next. Lots of tracks from this set will be going into rotation.
Dig Deep,
Calvin
