Yep, we had tickets to see his BSO in November but he cancelled the tour because of tinnitus. We saw Lee Rocker in Arlington, Texas, and I wanted to fly to San Diego to see the last of the Stray Cats 40 year reunion tour concert, but it was vetoed by the War Department as a frivolous waste of money. Had they appeared in Atlanta we would definitely have been there.
so I saw Sturgill and Tyler Friday night
These are by far my two favorite people in music right now so I was pretty excited to see them in one concert.
So summarization:
first, Sturgill performed with a jacket but no shirt so his chest was exposed. I was not expecting that lol
If you have ever seen Tyler's red barn videos on youtube then you have an idea of what this show was like, just with more lights and a band backing him. He did not talk much but I will say he was pretty darn funny when he did. His music is great, and he is great live. Don't expect much more than him playing music though. Not a big showman or anything
Sturgill is not what I expected. I own all four of his albums and if you want to hear those songs then no need to see him in concert. Oh, he plays them but they sounds pretty different. This is not a bad thing, just a note. It was a rock'n'roll concert. Loud, lights, shredding electric guitar (Sturgill is freaking bada$$ on guitar, I had no idea he could play like that. It is not reflected on his albums.)
Tyler played for an hour or so, Sturgill closer to 2 hours. Def. get your $ worth. Neither talk much or do anything except play music with Sturgill playing twice as loud as Tyler lol.
Another thing with Sturgill: his voice is not really made for the type of music he is doing right now imo. His first three albums fit his voice but this newest one he just isn't strong enough to carry it the way he wants. It is not bad but I would love his guitar playing, his music, his lyrics but Cobain or Cornell singing.
If you can go see it. I recommend it. It does feel like two very different concerts in one night but that is an observation and not a complaint
Since this is vinyl related, I'd like to get some input from you guys if any of you has experience and can share some intel. I want to get a new turntable but I'm not that high on cash, so I found some budget options here https://popular.reviews/turntable/, the PVTT15UBT from Pyle and the Musitrend. As I know of, Pyle should be the better option manufacturer-wise, but maybe some of you have input and can help me decide. TIA, have a good day!
Not sure what your budget is and if you're looking at an all in one or stand alone unit. Money is important based on how and how much you are going to use it. Avid vinyl listeners should invest in quality turntables. Casual listeners can go the cheaper route.
A few years ago, I had about 175+ albums given to me ranging from 33's, 45's and some 78's. I had no turntable because as many do, got rid of mine many years ago because of "advanced" technology. Sorry I did. Long story short, I bought an ION Classic LP just to be able to sound test the albums before I put them up for sell. It's a decent turntable and works for what I need, however if I were to get back to pure listening and collecting of vinyls for that purpose, I would spend more for the turntable. Some of the good ole' vintage turntables (70's) can be had on eBay, but they will cost a few bills or more.
Tyler Childers is awesome. Check out Nicholas Jamerson also. Both from Eastern Ky.
going to check out now on youtube. top 2-5 you recommend?
If cost is an issue and you're a younger person who's never owned a turntable before, then just buy an all-in-one unit to try it out. Should cost $50 online or at a retail location like Best Buy. Victrola sells a carrying case type that is perfectly serviceable. If your passion for vinyl grows, and your album collection along with it, then you can decide a few years from now whether to invest in a better system.
I am a huge NF fan. I’m going to his Atlanta show with my son if the concert isn’t cancelled due to Corona. Lately I’ve also been listening to a lot of the Pogues and Tom Waits. Obviously, I have varied tastes.
have tickets to NF in Greenville, assuming does not get canceled. but odds are low at this point
I love rap and NF is one of the very few I let my 10 year old listen to
Tyler is badass
Tyler, Nicholas Jamerson, just started to listen to Arlo McKinley(sp?), Foy Vance is pretty good, Brent Cobb is good. “Shine on Rainy Day” is a good album as is the new one. Providence Canyon I believe it’s called. Brent is a Georgia boy and related to Dave Cobb the producer, I believe. Dave Cobb has produced many great Americana/Folk/Country/Singer-Somgwriter albums.
Just realized you probably meant songs. His albums are on Apple music so I’m used to just downloading albums. Songs I’d recommend are Hindman, Long way to Wheelwright, Floyd County All Stars, The Sun and Riverbank. He has other great songs also and a dropping a new album 4/20.
That’s how I started following him after Mansion cane out. I was looking for a high quality, Christian artist for my teenage son to listen to instead of some others. I’m pretty sure the ATL show is going to get cancelled because of C-19.
your son is way too old, probably, to like this guy but look up Froggy Fresh. Silly but fun rapper. He does not make rap anymore but when my son was 5 or so started listening to him. He created a whole little world his songs take place in. In case you have any other young kids
A friend of mine manages a handful of great bands, if you want to combine your love of vinyl with support for local music in these difficult times.
Futurebirds and Cicada Rhythm are both Athens-based. Hardy Morris, who some of you may know from Dead Confederate, is an Augusta/Athens guy. And Great Peacock is from Nashville.
These are links to buy their albums directly. If you want to check any of them out first, they should all be on Spotify, Apple, Youtube, etc.
