So you like both kinds of music--Country and Western?

I never liked the Hank Snow / Kitty Wells era but when rock degenerated
into absolute crap in the '70s I switched to Willie, Waylon, and David
Allen Coe.  That was a good ride for a while until C&W turned to crap like
Achy Breaky Heart and I moved to alternate country like Guy Clarke, Townes
van Zandt, Lucinda Williams, and Steve Earle. I don't like Spingsteen's
politics but he does write good songs.

I throw in some variety with Concrete Blonde, Drivin N Cryin, Cowboy
Junkies, and until they went the BLM route Driveby Truckers.

   Kinky Friedman "Asshole from El Paso"

Then there is the whole Irish thing with Dropkick Murphys, Black 47,
Flogging Molly, and so forth.

You should check out the "Thistle" channel on SomaFM...

I particularly like the rebel songs; they're inspiring. I play a lot of
them on a Irish flute or whistle.

   Flogging Molly "Salty Dog", one of my favorites.

On a gentler note, a cover of (IIRC) a Dubliners song:

   The Corrs & The Chieftains "I Know My Love"

First heard that one on "Thistle".
