Whiskey Bottle replied to Derek's discussion 'Great Musician, Terrible Person'

I can forgive a lot, but I can't forgive bad music. It would probably be easier to list the musicians who aren't or weren't failures in their personal lives, arrogant jerks, or screwed up in some other form. I kind of like my musical…

Mostly, I'm just glad that Waylon Jennings isn't around to hear "Are You Sure Reagan Done It This Way".

Whiskey Bottle commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'On politics, music, dissent, and being an "American Girl"'

There is a big difference between having some ambiguous legal ground to stand on in using the song, and having a moral obligation to obtain someone's consent before you imply their support. The problem with Sander's argument that "no…

Whiskey Bottle replied to Matthew McCurry's discussion 'What are your favorite lines or lyrics from your favorite songs?'

I also get that Ray song stuck in my head pretty frequently, along with "Burn" from that same album- "Yeah, so kiss him again/Just to prove to me that you can/I will stand here and burn in my skin". Morrissey/The Smiths…

Whiskey Bottle commented on Easy Ed's blog post 'Top 10 Reasons To Support Record Store Day'

http://www.euclidrecords.com/events.jsp Euclid Records in St. Louis, MO hosts a great event with live music all day, food and drinks. I'll definitely be headed there to catch the Bottle Rockets, pick up some new music, and support my…

Whiskey Bottle commented on Easy Ed's blog post 'Squaresville...the unanticipated essay about the grammy awards'

Bieber and Lady Antebellum. I guess if I'm going to find any redeeming quality in the show, it's in that some deserving artists will garner a little more recognition, and some young music fan's tastes will evolve a little.…

Whiskey Bottle commented on Easy Ed's blog post 'Squaresville...the unanticipated essay about the grammy awards'

You could spend all day listing the ways in which the Grammys are irrelevant, or you could sum it up in two words- Jethro and Tull. Or Milli and Vanilli, take your pick. I usually watch with the same halfhearted interest that I do if there's a…

Thanks for the heads up on their schedule, they are great! I also saw the duo of Farrar and Hunt open for Jay Farrar and became an instant fan. Would love to see them play more often maybe get out of St. Louis? Great musicians, lots of…

Whiskey Bottle commented on Cody Breuler's blog post 'Streams of Booze:The Bottle Let Me Down'

Great mix- I might also add "Whiskey River"- Willie Nelson, Whiskey Bottle"- Uncle Tupelo, and you almost gotta wrap it up they way I have so many weekends in the past, with Kristofferson or Cash's version of "Sunday…

These chaps were really fun when I saw them open for Jay at the Old Rockhouse. It was just a duo that night, would be a treat to see Mike and Jay play with them.

Colonel Ford

Those of you who find yourselves in or around St. Louis, Missouri on the second Friday of any given month may want to check out local band Colonel Ford at The Schlafly Bottleworks in Maplewood. For most of us, the thought of hearing great hillbilly music in a microbrewery would be enough motivation in and of itself, but if it isn't, the line-up should get you up…See More

Jack commented on Whiskey Bottle's blog post 'Colonel Ford'

I miss St. Louis, a wonderful place to live, which we did '97-00. This band sounds really interesting. The Rockhouse Ramblers were (are?) great, and I recall seeing Dade Farrar with One Fell Swoop at Off Broadway a few…

If he knew, he probably woudn't cross over the line. Or, maybe he would.

Whiskey Bottle commented on Jack's blog post 'Pet Peeve: the term "Americana" music - what precisely does it mean?'

The Replacements and REM have written some of my favorite "country" songs of all time- Waitress in the Sky, Here Comes a Regular, Treatment Bound, (don't go back to) rockville, Driver 8. I hear a lot of country influence in…

Whiskey Bottle commented on Adam Sheets's blog post 'Introducing the XXX Movement'

2 Brits in the top three of the Americana charts...I just wish we could come up with a genre that the English don't do better than we do.
