Feb 2022 not-metal alt-country twangy
It's getting rather late in the month for me to realise that I haven't yet done one of my "sapient pretends that he knows something about twangy, miserablist, country music and so strikes out in the direction of sounding like someone who owns a pair of dusty boots and a big ol' ten-gallon hat."
Today I filled in that particular lacuna with the musical equivalent of quick-setting concrete.
Yee-haw, y'all! :D
I left hell
That's all behind me
I got a better place to go
On my way
That's where you'll find me
Cos this road is all I know
I turned the light out
I closed the door
Ain't goin' back to that old line
Told the preacher
Layin' on the floor
"Just one step at a time"
And if you see me coming
Down that dusty road
Make sure and be ready
Cos I'm carryin' a heavy, heavy load
If I ever
Get thinking deeply
Reckon I'll be feelin' fine
Carve a path
Through life's steep canyons
To this new place I call mine

This is so good - dark country that's yeahaw and blues with a metal vibe in the background. Great vocals! And such great twanging guitar work.
Love it!

#tit4tat. Howdy its the drunk cowboy! That guitar is pure country, i hear a train a coming i think! The concrete has set and all is well. Very entertaining listen

I've been waiting for your Black Country song this year. You haven't disappointed us. That bass is just catchy & the twangy guitars are superb. You really should release an album of these gems. I'd be lining up to buy it.
See You In The Shadows…

I think this is a genre that could have legs. Probably four and having someone riding on its back. Top twanging.

Twangtastic sir! Very nice

I was waiting for your dark country song the whole time! Thanks for saving my day. Like your gritty voice here. And these guitar licks are too cool. And the solo sounds like riding on the dead horse of a nazgul. Great one.

"ooh yeah!"
you're a fucking chameleon.

So great! That low bass is hinting of the darkness and metal! Ha. I love the theme and character. Great song and it doesn’t sound like you’re faking it. I will be back for more listening Tuesday!!!
