Here it is hot off the presses ladies and gents, the last single-digit podcast from Casa Twang. That’s right #9 is in the books and ready for your listening pleasure.
As I say in the podcast (listen and see!) with 4 performers - The Pollies, Dillon Hodges, Jason Isbell and Doc Dailey - all hailing from the fertile music climes of Muscle Shoals, AL, that it feels like this episode is sponsored by the Alabama Tourism Department This is patently untrue! At least until they send me a check!
If there is another theme in this episode it’s the rich display of old-school honky-tonk from Rodney Hayden, Daniel Romano , Billy Don Burns and the legendary Loretta Lynn.
A couple of mia culpas on the introduction to Rodney Hayden’s song: “I Drink To Remember” I mention George Jones as a contributing songwriter. I misspoke and meant to say George Strait. Also I mention the new Pollies release “Where The Lies Begin” was on Palomino Records. It is out on This Is American Music.
I hope you like this episode of the Twang Nation Podcast. if you do tell a friend and let me know here at my site, Google+, Twitter or my Facebook.
And thanks to all of you for supporting great music!
