P615 Ambient Country

 

Prior to my hiatus, I had alluded that there were more of these mixes in the hopper. Here are two more with some new artists in the mix as well as additional tracks from artists featured previously. I suppose this would’ve worked better when I made it back in early summer as I think they capture that feeling of hot desert days and cool star filled nights. As I was researching this, I was surprised, then not surprised at how much AI generated music was on youtube that fit this style. As such, I decided AI generated images would be used instead of my usually random finds.

584 Around and about some Post-Country

Took a little break there, the ebb and flow of life can sometimes get overwhelming.   I'm back and hope to continue with my regular cadence of sharing mixes a few times a week.

I was picking up my daughter at school and complimented another dad on his excellent "Murder By Death" t-shirt.  One of the other Dads I was with said he'd never heard of them before.  Upon my recommendation to start with their covers albums, he quickly became a big fan and bought tickets to see them on this tour.  

That exchange got me moving along on this mix, which I had started with some ambient Americana tracks for my series on that topic, though quickly moved into post-country territory.  I also broke out my Possessed by Paul James records which are quite entertaining.  Included some odd ball country tracks I came across, like the one in Eastbound and Down, the Jim Keach track was sampled by the Orb in their YMO "Tong Poo" remixes which is just wild, and then closed it with that Elmer track from a punk rock compilation "Songs About Drinking."

Hope you enjoy the ride.

I'm stopping Spotify playlists for now, I was really upset that the last time I played some music there, I saw at least three ICE Recruitment video ads in 30 minutes.  That really upset me and I'll not use their service until this changes.
