CD Giveaway: Turnpike Troubadours


Turnpike Troubadours Giveaway

The Turnpike Troubadours are a country outfit out of Oklahoma with a huge following across red dirt country. In fact, their album Diamonds and Gasoline won the Lone Star Music Award for best album of 2010. I mentioned on Twitter that I'd never heard the band, and @kelliegaston quickly remedied that. She hooked me up with a CD for myself and an extra one.

The Turnpike Troubadours have a laid back sound reminiscent of early Reckless Kelly and Steve Earle's more mellow work. It's an unpretentiously catchy album that sounds great in the car with the windows rolled down. If you want hipness-factor, alt-country's gritty defiance or the pop-ness of the current Nashville sound, you don't want this… otherwise, it's for you.

Good news: That extra CD is going to one of you! Just tell me your favorite musical troubadour in this post's comments, on Twitter or on Facebook, and I'll choose one entry to receive the album. It's that easy!

Country Girl A**: a satire

Country Girl Ass
©2011 FTM Satire

Verse 1
You may surprised to realize
Us country boys get country high
On country girl anatomies
The way they walk, not how they talk
We focus on badonkadonk
If you know what I mean

Build
Butt, I ain't one for subtlety
Hick chick heinie is what I need

Chorus
I love country girl ass
Conversation? No, I'll pass
I love country girl ass
Personality comes last
I'm all about that rural behind
Matter over mind, I'll tell you fast
I love country girl ass

Verse 2
Hey, country girl, shake it for me
That cushion where your thighbones meet
Your dirt road derriere
And I don't care what you've got on
A short skirt, Lees or a little thong
Long as you got junk to spare

Build
And I don't want to date you girl
Just give that gluteus a whirl

Chorus
I love country girl ass
Be a gentleman? No, I'll pass
I love country girl ass
Coveting booty, that's my task
I'm all about that rustic rump
Just make it pump till you get a rash
I love country girl ass

Bridge
Now I like Jesus, I like NASCAR
And American red, white and blue
But I love the place where your flesh parts
I wanna railroad your caboose

I love country girl ass
Posterior baby, or I'll pass
I love country girl ass
I prefer a thick-figured lass
I'm all about that backwoods butt
The place God cut the kindest slash
I love country girl ass

YouTube Gems: J. Roddy Walston and the Business

From their 2010 self-titled album, here's J. Roddy Walston and the Business with "Used to Did."

How'd I Miss This?


My bearded buddy from A Truer Sound was recently engaged in a conversation about this band on Twitter. My curiosity led me to seek out the band's 2010 album ($5.99 at Amazon!!) and I was knocked on my rear. How did I miss this???

Some bloggers and music writers hate comparisons, but I love 'em… so: J. Roddy Walston & The Business Sounds like what would result if you threw The Black Crowes, The Replacements, Appetite era Guns n' Roses, The London Choirboys and Faster Pussycat in a blender. Hair metal haters, never fear. They lean a lot more to the blue-collar 'Mats side of things, but there are large, unhealthy dollops of sleaze rock in every song. There's even a hint of Felice Brothers style folk, but this is a rock album through and through.

J. Roddy apparently leads a debauched lifestyle that Larry Lee Turnage would not approve of. The lyrics are primarily about sex, drinking, questioning religion, drugging and sex. However, he leads us down that well trod rockstar life path with engaging and solid lyrics.

This is fiery, exciting stuff that I wish I'd heard earlier, but I'm just glad to finally discover this rocking band.

RIYL: All the bands I listed above, The Stones, Deer Tick, Javi Garcia and the Cold, Cold Ground, Two Cow Garage, Lucero
