The long version of Susie-Q is a great start; it lends Creedence to the week1.
Thanks, XMradio!

Nearly a year has passed since the kick-ass alt.country group1 The Siderunners played their final show. Today, I was tickled to learn via the Evil Genius Chronicles that the Siderunners are making MP3s of their final live shows available for free download.
I became a huge Siderunners fan after hearing them on several EGC Clambakes, [...]

It isn’t every day that one awakens, goes to his computer, and is presented with a headline like this:
Talent Scout Ken Nelson Dies at 96.
I made a half-assed tweet1 about the event early today. I don’t mean to make light of Mr. Nelson’s death in any way. I was taken aback at the headline, [...]

Chris Yale, that is. I just ordered his new CD Well Enough Alone. I’d heard and dug his music on Dave’s podcast. I also met him at Dave’s Birthday Bash last summer.
I could have downloaded the album from DigStation and had it immediately, but I prefer to order direct from the artist if [...]

There was an interview with country music legend Merle Haggard in yesterday’s Washington Post dead tree edition. The Hag turned 70 last April, and is still going strong.
The highlight of the interview, faithfully transcribed, about country radio:
Radio doesn’t want substance. If a song actually had an opinion, that’s the first thing they’d throw [...]

Gotta love that XM Radio. The 60’s channel (Channel 6) has Wolfman Jack at 9PM ET. Info from XM here.
Growing up on the Plains of Kansas, I didn’t become familiar with the legend of the Wolfman until my early 20’s. I know he’s passed on, but thank heaven for tapes, and his [...]

1) Eat some good BBQ ribs.
2) Knock back a few beers.
3) Fire up your browser and head over to Boot Liquor radio. Click “Listen Now.” 1
4) Consume 2 fingers of good single-malt scotch before turning in.
It doesn’t get much better than that.
