Jamey Johnson goes gold

You'd think he could afford a beard trimmer by now.

Country Doppelgangers 11: Alt-Country Day













Ryan Moore Adams has the whole Harry Potter thing going on.














Roger Clyne of Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers strongly resembles Encino Man era Pauly Shore.













Neko Case reminds me of actress Debra Messing.














I have a feeling Justin Townes Earle will look a lot like actor Harry Dean Stanton in about 40-50 years.













Ben Nichols, lead singer of FTM favorite Lucero, and Sabretooth aka Liev Schrieber.















Sorry, Lucinda...

Happy Birthday Johnny Cash! (not that this song has anything to do with him)


(It's my birthday too, but JC's is more important :))

Best of 2011 So Far

It's shaping up to be yet another great year in music, if the first two months are any indication. This list is pretty top-heavy, but anything in my top 12 or so is highly recommending listening.

Favorite Albums of 2011 as of Feb. 26

01. Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - Here We Rest
This album will be released in April, and I'm here to tell you... it's awesome.

I think I'll have to stop making a separate list for live albums as of now. This one's too good to exclude from the main chart.

06. Social Distortion - Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes
07. Amos Lee - Mission Bell
08. The Decemberists - The King is Dead
Kickass southern style rock with strong melodies.

10. Left Lane Cruiser - Junkyard Speed Ball
11. Owen Temple - Mountain Home
12. Pearl Jam - Live on Ten Legs
13. Gregg Allman - Low Country Blues
14. Cage the Elephant - Thank You Happy Birthday
15. Drive-by Truckers - Go-Go Boots
16. North Mississippi Allstars - Keys to the Kingdom
17. Middle Brother - s/t
18. Ian Axel - This is the New Year
19. Cake - Showroom of Compassion
20. The Baseball Project - Vol. 2: High and Inside
21. Josh Kelley - Georgia Clay
22. Radiohead - The King of Limbs
Take that one with a grain of salt. My jeans aren't skinny enough for me to enjoy the last few Radiohead albums very much.
