Here's a few of my favorite live shows over at Archive.org
Hayes Carll - At the Continental Club Jan. 21, 2006
If you haven't heard Hayes Carll, then you owe it to yourself to check this guy out. Hands down one of the best singer-songwriters I have heard in years. In the vein of Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, Ray Wylie Hubbard, & Buddy Miller. The fact that this guy is largely unknown outside of Texas boggles my mind. This guy is the future of real music.

A nice little acoustic set from the truckers from 2004 featuring then new songs from "Decoration Day"

Corb Lund - At Cheatham Street Wharehouse Nov. 30, 2006
Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans hail from Alberta Canada and are putting out some of the best country you can get now adays. This show was a double bill with Hayes Carll (his performance is also available on archive) and just like him it's a damn shame more people don't know about him. Some of my favorite cuts from this show: Roughest Neck Around, Hurtin' Albertan, and Time to Switch to Whiskey.

Thanks. Two of these are new to me, and I'm a Texas country fan. Maybe your ethical reformation will introduce me to some good stuff.
ReplyDeleteHTP, Hayes Carll & Corb Lund (along with Ray Wylie Hubbard) are probably my favorite artists right now. Especially Hayes....he reminds me of everything I love about guys like Steve Earle, Townes, and Ray Wylie.
ReplyDeleteHe actually turned down a major label contract a couple years ago and released his second album (Little Rock) on his own. It now holds the record as the only independently released album to win "best album" at the texas music awards. The man has integrity & balls, not to mention immense talent. I can't wait to see what he does with it.
