Not all "bands", but whatever...

Ryan Adams

Drive By Truckers

Hayes Carll

The Gourds

Thank you kind sir...

I must say that I like that... It sounds kinda popish, sortof a mix of "The Police" and "Steve Miller Band".

Anybody know how to rip this and yousendit?

Here are the lyrics btw....

So glad that you found someone

Someone and so fast

It's time to let go of someone

and put it to rest

And I don't feel sorry for you

Not sorry at all

No I don't feel sorry for him or for her

My world is gonna revolve

It's gonna keep spinning around me doll

The world where no-one belongs to her

and you're the one she thinks she wants

It's true, she's lovely in blue

So now that it's underground

and they're talking too fast

whatever they're talking about, it's not me,

It's all in the past

And I don't feel sorry for you

I'm not sorry at all

No I don't feel sorry in fact just the opposite

My world is gonna revolve

It's gonna keep spinning around me

The world where no-one belongs to her

and you're the one she wants

My world

My world is gonna revolve

It's gonna to keep spinning round me doll

the world where no-one belongs to her

and you're the one she thinks she wants

she thinks she wants the world,

the world she thinks she wants

and it's hers and you'll never get through

oh god it's so true

it's true,

it's true, she so lovely in blue

You look across the table with those guilty eyes

So many mornings now I shouldn't be surprised

When you lash out at me and you scream out in the night

What could you have done to get in such an awful fright

Is it all that bad that you think I shouldn't see

Well who you gonna talk to if you can't tell me

(chorus)

Where'd you hide the body

Where'd you stash the loot

Just keep your hands where I can see them

So I don't have to shoot

There's a smoking pistol at your side

But you swear it's not the one

Where'd you hide the body

Where'd you get the gun

Where'd you hide the body

Where'd you get the gun

When cornered you complain about the state of your career

And you look intently straight ahead pretending I'm not here

And you look me in the eye and tell me it's not about us

Then you tell me I'm so silly to be making such a fuss

So everything's OK but your nervous as a cat

What's that say about me that you think I'd fall for that

(chorus)

Where'd you hide the body

Where'd you ditch the gun

Keep your hands where I can see 'em

Make no attempt to run

You used to always throw me off the trail

I guess those days are through

Where'd you hide the body

What's consuming you

Where'd you hide the body

What's consuming you

If I make it through this year, I think I'm gonna put this bottle down

Maybe as time goes on I'll learn to miss it less than I do now

Think I'm gonna tell her that I'm gonna go away for a while

Till I can get this demon out

You know the bottle ain't to blame and I ain't trying to

It don't make you do a thing it just lets you

When I'm six feet underground, I'll need a drink or two

And I'll sure miss you

Take me piece by piece till there ain't nothing left worth taking away from me

The highway's humming in my head and it's hard to hear

Won't you read my lips if I pull you near enough

Could you read my fortune in the bottem of this coffee cup

Tell me how to tell when I've had enough

If morning's a bitch with open arms and night's a girl who's gone to far

Whiskey is harder to keep than a woman and it's half as sweet but

Women without whiskey, Women without whiskey

Whiskey is hard to beat

Whiskey is hard to beat

AWATT, I'm guessing you would respond well to Cold Roses.

I think any NOOB should start with Heartbreaker... It's usually a pretty good cd to hook you to RA. But you could also go ahead and start with the 48hours yousendit link provided a few pages back... I LOVE 48 HOURS...

HALLELUJAH, WALLS, ANGELINA, KARINA.... Man oh man, those are some great songs.

The linked "Destroyer" w/ Gillian Welch and David Rawlings is also really good

It'd be fair to say Ryan will play "Dear Chicago" at Lollapalooza, right??

No, because he didn't play "Oh My Sweet Carolina" in Myrtle Beach or Charleston. Yet, he played it in Atlanta the next night. That man has no rhyme or reason. He did play "Hickory Wind" though, but he played that in GA as well. So that's probably a new staple, and I thought he did it just for us South Carolina folks:hmm

I saw RA and The Cardinals in Charleston on Friday. It kicked some serious ass. He did play too much "Love Is Hell" for my taste(one of my least favorite RA cds), but despite that it still rocked. You can tell they are on a tight schedule. Ryan is doing VERY little talking at the shows and just trying to get in as many songs as possible. For the last 3 songs he was glancing at his watch(I only noticed because I was on the front row standing directly in front of him). It was clear that he was on a deadline of some sorts(whether out of respect to the roadcrew and the venue, I don't know). But he was clearly enjoying himself, so it wasn't out of spite. And he hasn't been drinking either, just straight business it seems. Tje show was a little over 2 hours of straight music and a tiny intermission.

Highlights of the night for me were Houses On The Hill, Hickory Wind(Gram Parsons), A Kiss Before I Go, To Be Young, Dear Chicago, and Elizabeth You Were Born To Play The Part(stunning encore, could hear a pin drop..I didn't like this song prior to witnessing him play it solo on a piano 3 feet from me in a silenced room of over 1000).

My RA list of albums, it's ever-changing though(released and unreleased):

1)My 2 b-sides, demos, and rarities mixes

2)Gold

3)Pneumonia

4)Heartbreaker

5)48 Hours

6)Strangers Almanac

7)Cold Roses

8)Faithless St

9)JCN

10)Destroyer Sessions

11)Fucker Demos

12)Demolition

13)Forever Valentine

14)Suicide Handbook

followed by a DISTANT few that rarely see my cd laserbeam.....

33)Love Is Hell

44)Rock N Roll

57)29

When JT is an old man reeling from the loss of his lifelong true love... Then you might hear us say his stuff is "too depressing". That's where the distinction lies.

I love "sad bastard" music... See my admiration for Ryan Adams. But sensory overload is always possible IMO. This new Johnny CD is beautiful, just so so so very sad...

And it reminds me of my wonderful grandfather who is seeing he's love(my grandma) slip away to Alzheimers. She's not on this planet anymore(in mind). And without her, he is lost. Man I don't won't to get old!! It hits home to close for me.

It's completely and utterly depressing and probably won't get many spins in my cd player. But it is powerful stuff to be sure.
