An article I found on No Depression a while back:

What is that message board about? I see someone is fearless about posting download links to albums that are commercially available.

I think I have all of those. I have not listened to any of them in a while though.

I wonder what that little dig was about. There must have been some legal stuff going down.

There's a lot of stuff there to be had. Much like the Black Crowes, he shelved albums that were better than what he ended up releasing. At least I think so.

I don't know if it is still called New Country, but I guess it is still big deal. Or rather, it seems that way with bands making albums directed at the county charts. Two I can think of: Bon Jovi and Darius Rucker.

When I first saw the tracklist, it also made me think of the Buffalo Springfield boxset.

That reminds me - I read or saw an interview once with Waylon where he talked about how that Outlaw Country deal was made-up to sell records.

This sounds familiar. I think I saw a link about this on Expecting Rain or an article in No Depression sometime over the past two years.

I spent a few hard day's nights out there myself back in the day.

From Billboard.com:

I've always thought that song was rather sad. It's interesting to me that on the album, it is followed by the song Leave My Blues at Home.

Edit: it's out now. 25 bucks. Please Call Home

One thing I miss is Pete's blog. It was pretty cool to read, and at one point, be able to respond to what he had to say. He sometimes answered back. I have read that there is also another re-issue of The Who Sell Out coming out sometime this year. A link to a post about it.
