Old Guys' Cool Music
Hey, today, on XM, I heard Ray Wylie Hubbard doing a song called "Choctaw Bingo", from the CD "Delirium Tremolos".
It was one of those tunes that just flipped a switch for me, some sort of blues/folk/country/western/Native American/Texas bizarro fusion piece. The kind that would scare normal people if they knew you were listening to it. Especially the part when he talks about going into a gun store and buying an SKS, two cases of steel core ammo, and a Desert Eagle.
I knew the voice, but did not realize who he was till I got home and looked him up, discovering that he is 58 years old and did "Redneck Mothers" as well.
Not sure that I like his personal life, like Steve Earle or Willie Nelson, but he sure cranks out some great music.
Anybody else got any older, lesser known artists stuck in their heads?

Now don't hold this against me but there was this one time where we were flat out stuck in a placed that sucked and we only got one radio station. That was the year the Bangles (?) released "Slow Boat to China".
That station played that song at least once every 10 minutes for 3 plus weeks. That waaaaas torture. At the end it was like finger nails on a blackboard. I don't think I ever heard that song again.
Every time "song" comes up that one pops into my mind.

I know what you mean.
Two deployment CDs that stick in my mind are Bruce Springsteen's "Born In the USA" and Guns and Roses "Appetite for Destruction ".
Fortunately, neither contain anything as bad as The Bangles.

TR,
I know you're not likely to care for either group overall, but have you ever heard the Dead's "Me and My Uncle" or the New Riders' "Red Hot Women and Ice Cold Beer"? They might strike a chord with you (pun intended).

For me it's, C.W. MaCall.
Sure he's know for his song "CONVOY", but his first album (I think he released two), is always stuck in my head.
Especially living here in Colorado. Songs from the album included, "Black Bear Road", "Lewis and Clark", "The Green", some great story telling type songs.

I don't know. . . If I had to listen to Axle whine out Iyiyiyiyiyi on a daily basis I'd have to kill myself.
