hard to beat the icon john fogerty. he was great at the super bowl or was it the college bcs bowl a few years ago? i read that he got reexcited about playing and would spend all day doing guitar exercises to tune up. this dedication at his talent level is admirable. he said in an interview that before returning to guitar he flew his plane the same way... all the time getting better. when i wrote ccr i was mentioning a band from oklahoma named cross canadian ragweed for anyone interested. great sound and a great band. check them out if you are a fan of americana rock. there is so much music i can not get to. for some others check out itunes radio under country,,,bootlicqour radio or on sirius there is outlaw country. with pandora just type in a name of an artist you like and you will get many new names. before i got flooded with new artists to check out i used imesh for a while. you can listen to almost any cd before buying it. for 8 bucks a month it saved me 100s if not 1000s of dollars. there isn,t much good to come from our celebrity culture but the musicians who are driven to succeed is a great thing.
Am I late to the Zac Brown & Jamey Johnson party?
Having recently discovered a few ‘new to me’ performers, I thought to enter them here and see of these if anyone can suggest other similarly related musicians, song writers, or bands, performing now.
Those I have run across and liked enough to buy a few of their individual CDs are Jamey Johnson “That Lonesome Song”… Zac Brown Band “The Foundation” & “You Get What You Give”… Reina Collins “Austin to Boston” & “Saltwater Soul”.
Each of these are IMHO related and separate. Gems in their own rights. All completely enjoyable and satisfying.
I’m most curious to find out other bands akin to the Zac Brown, ‘roadhouse’ genre, that are as accomplished and as tight a sound as ZBB has to offer…. ZBB is definitely on time and unquestionably professional with their sound and abilities..
Thanks
Suggestions…???
