Cocaine & Rhinestones

The first season of Cocaine & Rhinestones recently concluded. In short, it's a history of 20th Century Music. Each episode was a must listen for me. If you love country music you got to get on this. Even if you think you don't like country music, you will after listening.

Highly Recommended

Seven Haunted Ladies of Folk Noir

Seven Haunted Ladies of Folk Noir


Folk noir is a relatively recent term, but the style itself stretches far back to the earliest history of the blues. While there’s nothing codified about what instrumentation is necessary to make a song “folk noir,” the music is usually stripped down to just guitar and vocals. Lyrics are its most defining feature, full of dark imagery about ghosts, graves and dark nights of the human soul.
