Gone fishing
If you are feeling up to it, feel free to write a country song about me: Living in the swampy, hot south, plagued by severe storms and tornadoes. Lost a tooth (trust me it’s a story you don’t want to hear). Lost my man. Am all bruised up (related more to the tooth and not at all to the man). I’m hanging it up for a while. Sitting on the porch, sippin’ whiskey and watching the lightning and the fireflies until I’m calm and life doesn’t feel like a utter disaster. Hiatus. Summer vacation. Mental health break.
In the meantime there’s some new albums you should be listening too:
DADDY, For a Second Time (Tommy Womack & Will Kimbrough, also on tour, check the dates, go see them and learn to love Tommy as much as I do)
Todd Snider, The Excitement Plan (hopefully you’ve already got this because you’ve been reading all the other good press it’s getting)
Cory and Jon ♥ (speaking of which, Daisy and I are going to see Cory tomorrow and Jon in about month, hiatus or no, I promise to report back to y’all about both)
Ryan Bingham, Roadhouse Sun (Again, everyone has been on about this so hopefully you got the memo already)
Alright, kids, I’ll be back from hiatus when I am a whole person again (July?). In the meantime, to cure what ails me, I’ll be listening to the new Lucero tracks, DADDY, Todd, Jon, Cory, Ryan and Johnny Cash on repeat. When I get back we’ll have podcasts, reviews and metric ton of crazy new stuff, just you wait. I promise the wait will be worth it.
P.S. Willie contest winners are Lisa and Timmy Mac!! Thanks to Random.org for arbitrarily shaking out the list for me. Winners, check your email for details. Hooray!
