If you've run out of creative spark after writing umpteen songs about drunken sorrow, the working man, and bucolic strife but need the perfect name for your new roots rock or alt-country band, you're in luck! Just click below to visit my new "Genericana Band Name Generator!" My apologies to the three or four existing bands whose names are possible on this generator.

New Sturgill Simpson!
Sturgill Simpson today announced the forthcoming (May 13) release of his new album Metamodern Sounds in Country Music and the streaming of a new tune, "Living the Dream" on Paste. Here's a live recording of the song from when I saw him in 2013. At the time, Simpson wasn't ready for the tune to be unleashed upon the world, but with the Paste post making it official... well, here you go:

St. Paul and the Broken Bones - Broken Bones & Pocket Change
There's still a minute or two to "discover" this band before everybody else in the world. Their new album, Half the City, came out yesterday and it's a soul/R&B/garage-rock debut nearly as strong as Alabama Shakes' celebrated bow. Highly recommended for fans of Black Joe Lewis, Alabama Shakes, Otis Redding, James Brown, Lee Bains III & the Glory Fires. Just wait till you hear this voice...

Top 10 Country Songs Most Soccer Moms Would Not Be Fond Of
Here's a countdown of 10 country songs that would not weigh easily on the sensibilities of most mainstream country radio listeners (now anyway - the Wagoner song made it to #2 in 1967). Feel free to add your own in the comments.
Can you imagine this playing on the radio after Taylor Swift's latest ditty? Me neither.
Hank and pals scream in honor of a "music artist" who frequently took a dump on stage and played in it (to put it nicely) and was also known for wallowing in self-drawn blood (to put it nicely again).
08. "Holding On So Tight" - Gary Floater (portion of the song at this link)
This ode to "punching the clown" might not rest easy on radio programmers' palates.
Lucinda has never been bashful about middle-aged sex. "Now I've got your sweetness all up in my hair"... TMI Lucy!
Unreasonable figures?
Pink champagne, candlelight, surprising the wife (and her lover ...with a knife!!)
Rodney's a born romantic, huh ladies?
03. "Delia's Gone" - Johnny Cash
This shockingly cold and violent song from the Man in Black is all the more disturbing because of who it's from.
I guess if you're as ugly as Coe, you've got to lay on the charm thick.
Hank returns to the countdown with this wordy-durd filled rant against Nashville, offering to put male and female sexual organs back into country music (were they ever there in the first place?) The D-word and the C-word get ample airtime.
