First, Willie Nelson's forthcoming album, "God's Problem Child," is streaming at NPR Music: http://www.npr.org/2017/04/20/524393534/first-listen-willie-nelson-gods-problem-child

This song. On a loop. https://youtu.be/MBpMXuzHR3I

Drive-By Truckers & Hiss Golden Messenger

You guys are in for a treat. I've got a ticket to see them next Friday with Hiss Golden Messenger in New Orleans.

After two listens I don't hate it but I'm also not really loving it either. Nothing is really standing out so far.

New Pornographers' forthcoming "Whitehouse Conditions," now streaming at NPR Music: http://www.npr.org/2017/04/03/522193333/first-listen-the-new-pornographers-whiteout-conditions

I'm a little late with these, but I was a BBQ team member on this year's Hogs for the Cause in New Orleans. I managed to catch the Seratones on Friday night and Fruit Bats, the Marcus King Band and Shovels & Rope yesterday. A great weekend of music, food and sunshine. By the way, I searched the forum and only found one six-year-old thread about Fruit Bats. They're very good. I'm going back through their catalog now, as I was only familiar with their newest release. Check them out!

Unfortunately I didn't make it to the show. My dad was hospitalized yesterday, so I ate the ticket and stayed with him for a few hours last night. If you go let me know how the show is.

Recorded & live music (obviously), baseball (I want to take in a ballgame at every major league ballpark), reading, traveling, Southern history/culture/foodways, national parks/outdoors, history, civil war battlefields, photography (though my camera is prehistoric and I haven't made much time for it in recent years) and sleeping.

I'm happy to advise it's not just a rumor: http://www.stereogum.com/1930949/the-war-on-drugs-releasing-new-single-thinking-of-a-place-on-record-store-day/news/

Elvis's versions of "Too Much Monkey Business" & "Promised Land" are both good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYW0YVQ_b_4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HR_-hsAIRA
