Will also have to check more David Ramirez: gearshifting (solo acoustic) melodies, strong vox wothout oversinging, deft twangy vibrato, reminds me of Steve Young, but a little mellower, Chris Smither maybe?

Maybe at least some of it somewhere. Also liked brief isolation set by Pau Cauthen: very Southern voice x Elton John Lennon piano, then Randy Houser, even more Southern, like he was gonna quaver but too thick an accent, but was agreeable enough for another setette (think he's known more as a writer?) Computer crashed and I went back to medicare.gov. Next night checked the xpost ACL benefit for a while: David Ramirez got really sub-Dylan mumblecore on verses, better on choruses (another Dylanette effect, come to think of it). But, based on the Luck's Reunion performances, will still check his albums (on spotify, anyway).

Kalie Shorr released an amazing album last year---now she says she got c-19 while in quarantine (tho did go for groceries):
@kalieshorrDespite being quarantined (except for a handful of trips for groceries) for three weeks, I managed to contract COVID 19. I'm feeling significantly better, but it's proof how dangerous and contagious this is. It's endlessly frustrating to see people not taking this seriously.

Think I might skip most of the acoustic at-home etc.; a little bit goes a long way.But here's one more, re that Steve Earle project upthread (saw it too late for the Fecebook stream, but will be rerun and maybe posted somewhere):Steve Earle is set to perform a special live stream this Sunday, April 5th beginning at 3pm Eastern via his Official Facebook page as well as the Sirius XM Outlaw Country Official Facebook page as well. The solo performance will commemorate the 10th Anniversary of the Upper Big Branch coal mine explosion that killed twenty-nine men in West Virginia on April 5th, 2010, making it one of the worst mining disasters in American history. The audio from the live stream will also air via Earle’s weekly Hardcore Troubadour radio show on SiriusXM Outlaw Country, Channel 60, next week (premiering April 11th at 9pm Eastern). Earle’s live stream performance will feature the songs he wrote for and performed in Coal Country, a new play with music based on the disaster written by Jessica Blank and Erik Jenson and directed by Jessica Blank. Opening on March 3rd to critical acclaim at The Public Theater in New York City, the production was postponed after two weeks due to COVID-19.

announcement from Michael Timmins---seems like it should go on a Rolling thread for recurring exposure:
... we have some new music for you to listen to and hopefully provide you with a small distraction. It's a set of songs that we've been working on for the past year and which we were set to launch when our worlds turned upside down. The plan was to release a very limited edition, audiophile double-album made up of a re-mastered, re-cut version of All That Reckoning along with a second disc that contains the new music, Ghosts. We have the test pressings and they sound beautiful. But, as you all know, logistics are difficult right now, so we are delaying the release of the vinyl (there will be no CD) until the world returns to something resembling normal.
In the meantime we have decided to release the new music on streaming sites everywhere. It's an intense set of songs, but that's probably not a surprise to you....read on if you are interested in the genesis of Ghosts.
****
In July of 2018 we released our album All That Reckoning. Two months later our mother died and we realized that there was more reckoning still to come. Ghosts is the result of that realization; a suite of songs revolving around grief, pain, fear, anxiety, beauty; a set of songs examining the complexity of emotions that subsume us after losing a parent. We were writing and creating these songs while we were touring ATR and as they took shape it became clear to us that they belonged as part of, or at least as an addendum to, the songs that make up All That Reckoning. They deal with the ultimate reckoning, the reckoning that comes with the death of a loved one and the reassessing that one goes through as one tries to process such a loss.
The concept behind this project was to present it as a two disc vinyl-album set. All That Reckoning and Ghosts work best as two bodies of work, reflecting off of each other, but you know what they say about the best laid plans of men....so in the meantime enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. You can stream Ghosts here (the music is being added to more streaming sites every day): streamhttps://cowboyjunkies.lnk.to/Ghosts

― here 1st (roxymuzak), Thursday, 9 April 2020 23:43 (four years ago) link
aubrie's record features steve earle and is pretty psychy and has a lot of surprising touches, like a squealing theremin on one song, and one song starts off with a legitimate scream. it's very kacey though aside from that

That Sam Hunt “Young Once” song does not have the hiphop signifiers he has been labeled with. Just modern country that utilizes the formula in a good way.
