Another copy and paste email (and no, I don't get paid or even a free copy for this), but this looks great!

LOS ANGELES, CA, September 15, 2014 - An Americana Christmas, out on CD, vinyl and digital October 14 on New West Records,
brings together some of the biggest icons and current stars in
Americana music for a wide-ranging collection of classic Christmas songs
and brand new holiday recordings. The 16-track album features legendary
artists Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, The Band, John Prine, Dwight Yoakam and Ben Keith w/ Neil & Pegi Young alongside many of the genre's current younger talents like Valerie June, Nikki Lane, Robert Ellis, Luther Dickinson and the Old 97's. The album was announced today on Rolling Stone Country along with a premiere of New York-based Texas-bred troubadour Robert Ellis' stirring and modern rendition of Willie Nelson's classic, "Pretty Paper."
Listen here: http://rol.st/1uAbaLp
The
compilation compiles previously released material with six brand new
recordings exclusive to the album. In addition to Ellis' offering,
Memphis songstress Valerie June puts her rollicking spin on season staple, "Winter Wonderland," Luther Dickinson of North Mississippi Allstars injects "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" with some southern boogie and groove, rising Nashville chanteuse Nikki Lane offers an upbeat, retro-tinged original, Canadian roots music star Corb Lund turns in the sweeping and weeping new tune, "Just Me And These Ponies (For Christmas This Year)" and Dutch duo The Common Linnets contributes the new song, "At Christmas Time."
The lone European act, The Common Linnets are one of Europe's biggest
Americana bands and have sold more than 150,000 copies of their debut
release and took second place in the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest.
An Americana Christmas
is for anyone who appreciates great songwriting and timeless music
delivered from the heart and will appeal to several generations making
it a perfect addition to your holidays.

If Dallas Davidson Had Written These Country Classics
And it's DJs, Chevys jacked, EDM music
Muddy, muddy fields that my tires roam
Yeah, my DJs, Chevys jacked, EDM music
And sexting hotties pictures of my dong
Old trucks drive you round the square even when you're drunk as hell
God bless little cutoffs them girls are shakin' so well
That's pretty much the deepest stuff that's ever on my mind
Yeah old trucks and cutoffs and Kroger cherry shine
Raptor with chromed out vents
Custom seat - leather bench
Bluetooth and intake kit
Brand new Powerplant winch
Yo, it's..four hundred horses strong
Drive your girl right out of her thong
I'm the man drivin' with a lean
King of the bros
If you wonder how long we'll be grindin'
Well, just crank up R Kelly's 12 Play
I'm gonna tap it for minutes, and minutes and minutes, lil bae
Hello Darlin'
What's up baby
How you doin'?
Those jeans sure are tight
So shake that money
Like I love to see
Have a cold one
Are you horny
Like I am tonight
Drop the tailgate
And play some Aldean
What's up baby
How you doin'?
Those jeans sure are tight
So shake that money
Like I love to see
Have a cold one
Are you horny
Like I am tonight
Drop the tailgate
And play some Aldean

Same Ol' Song
I wrote this lyric before the days of Farce the Music (or Photocrap, for that matter) and unfortunately it rings truer than ever now. And yes, I name dropped... but it fit the theme - I wasn't doing it for fake country cred.
No Country on the Radio
I was in the mood for a drinkin' song
Some guy cryin' over love that's gone
So I flipped through a dozen stations
I shook my head I couldn't find a thing
No sad fiddles, no whiskey, no twang
And came to the sad realization
(Chorus)
There ain't no country on the radio
No steel guitars, nothing sad and slow
It's happy slappy joy joy
From little girls and pretty boys
Singin' pop songs in a row
But there ain't no country on the radio
I caught the tail end of Shania Twain
DJ said that's the classic of the day
I almost drove off the shoulder
The next song sounded like a Hallmark
Card
Some whiner rhyming "heart"
with "apart"
I know Waylon just rolled over
('Cause) There ain't no country on the
radio
No steel guitars, nothing sad and slow
It's happy slappy joy joy
From little girls and pretty boys
Singin' pop songs in a row
But there ain't no country on the radio
Bridge
I found an old truckstop with a $5 rack
Bought some Yoakam, Paycheck and Hag
The channel may be clear but I ain't
comin' back
(Alt Bridge)
Hootie, The Eagles, Bon Jovi, oh my
I know where old rockers go to die
('Cause) There ain't no country on the
radio
No steel guitars, nothing sad and slow
It's drum loops and big guitars
Makes me wanna crash my car
God I miss George Jones
There ain't no country on the radio

YouTube Gems: Dwight Yoakam - Waterfall
Here's a cool animated video for Dwight Yoakam's Roger Miller-esque "Waterfall," from his stellar new 3 Pears album. I don't think this is the official video (contest entry, I think), but it probably should be.
