Jahfin Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 "While Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar were scampering around in Pampers and playing with wooden blocks, Charle Gearheart and the Goose were fusing country and rock sounds like nobody else, plumbing the depths of hillbilly, folk, bluegrass and rock music almost two decades before any of that 'No Depression' stuff became tres chic. Goose Creek's unique country-rock hybrid had an earthier, more organic sound than just about anything coming out of Nashville circa 1971-74." - Rev. Keith Gordon, Blurt Magazine The YouTube description for this concert: Goose Creek Symphony has developed their own style of jam-band original Americana music since the mid-'60's. They perform at the Jammin at Hippie Jack's Americana Music Festival in Overton County, TN. Goose Creek Symphony is considered by many to be one of the most original bands of their time. Major record labels (Capitol & Columbia) of the 60s/early 70s didn't know what to do with a band that played a mixture of rock and roll, folk, jazz and country with an undeniable hillbilly influence, a hippie attitude and a reckless sense of instrumental daring. They used horns and fiddles as well as effects and blended it with psychedelic rock and roll. The true definition of "Cosmic American Music".

Jahfin Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 New interview from the Dallas Observer with Brent Best of Slobberbone where, once again, the question of what is and what isn't "alt.country" rears it's ugly head. As you'll see from the article, Slobberbone took a few years off where Brent did some solo shows and formed a new band called the Drams before reforming Slobberbone in 2009. They've toured fairly extensively since then but still no new record (or shows in North Carolina). Brent Best Talks About Going Solo, The Legacy of Slobberbone and Having Rachel Maddow As a Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 This could just as easily go in the Country music thread since the Flying Burrito Brothers were more Country than "alt" even though they (as well as Gram Parsons) are often credited with being pioneers in the genre (or subgenre, as it were). From DangerousMinds.net. I must admit, I never knew the thing about The Gilded Palace of Sin selling so poorly. HOT BURRITOS!: THE FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS IN A RARELY SEEN VIDEO Here’s something quite tasty indeed. A really nice quality video of The Flying Burrito Brothers performing “Hot Burrito #1.” This is new to me and doesn’t seem to have appeared previously on Youtube. With Gram Parsons, Chris Ethridge, Michael Clarke and Sneaky Pete Kleinow. Chris Hillman is seen briefly and only partially (a fleeting glimpse of a blue suit and shock of dirty blonde hair) at the edges of the frame. Why so shy? Was this when he and Gram were feuding? Or was the cameraman as stoned as the band? Also, Clarke and Ethridge have switched instruments. Strange. “Hot Burrito #1” appears on The Gilded Palace of Sin, an album which has influenced country rock and Americana bands for the past several decades without ever having sold enough copies to achieve gold record status. http://youtu.be/_tHoNZp7POA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
