All That Jazz: Big Butch Bass Bull Fiddle ..Corb Lund : Big Butch Bass Bull Fiddle [ purchase ] While upright bass solos are common in jazz, they are fairly uncommon in country music (with the possible exceptions of bluegrass and tradition "old style" country). Corb Lund is a Canadian country musician, and while he does has a bit of a following in the US, he is quite popular in the mainstream Canadian country music scene. Lund's family is from southern Alberta where they are actively involved in ranching and rodeo. Many of Lund's songs reflect his unique heritage. However, before he started to compose country music, he moved ...Star Maker Machine15 January 2012

Concert Review: Hayes Carll with Jason Isbel ..About a minute into Hayes Carll 's first song "Chances Are" a big cheer erupted from the crowd. No, the crowd wasn't cheering for the protagonist in this heartfelt ballad. They were celebrating the fact that the Boston Bruins had just beaten the Montreal Canadians in double overtime. For a second there I thought I was back in Canada, but then I remembered that the Leafs never make the playoffs. I hope the Texans on the stage weren't confused either. Welcome to Boston! Carll headlined the sold out gig on Saturday, April 23, at the Brighton Music Hall ...My Aimz is True4 May 2011

KMAG YOYO“I’m Like James Brown only white and taller All I wanna do is stomp and holler.”—Hayes Carll, “Stomp And Holler” Back in 2008 we went to see Corb Lund in concert and the opening act was someone I hadn't heard of at the time. His name is Hayes Carll and he blew us away. When his set was done there was a line up from hell at the merchandise booth(I was in it) and every single person ahead of me bought his disc, as did I. His music is a perfect combination of old school rock ...Good Rockin' Tonight28 April 2011

2007 Repost: My Weekend with Okkervil River ..I'm currently in the middle of my five-city, two-week tour of the Eastern and Central US. I don't have a lot of time to write, so I thought I would post some old crap that I wrote before I started My Aimz is True . Going out to Oakville to see Corb Lund last week reminded me of the time back in 2007 when I was completely obsessed with Okkervil River . I saw them in Toronto on Friday, September 21, 2007, and then drove all the way to Hamilton the next night to see them again! Here are my ...My Aimz is True15 November 2010

Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans, Nov. 2, ..I'm spoiled and I know it. Toronto is the New York City of Canada, and every touring band/artist comes through Toronto at least once every few years, sometimes every year (Drive-By Truckers), and sometimes several times a year (Tim Barry). Except for Two Cow Garage, but that's another story. I'm even more spoiled by the fact that I live within stumbling distance and/or a cheap cab ride from all of the major and minor music venues in the city. Despite living in a killer music city and dwelling in close proximity to the music venues ...My Aimz is True12 November 2010

Americana Music AwardsMy blogging colleague over at A 50 Cent Lighter & A Whiskey Buzz is doing a really nice job of previewing the Americana Music Awards , to be announced on September 9. Unfortunately for the AMA , I am not nearly as nice or as sober as Mr. 50 Cent Lighter. If you want reasonable, balanced commentary, go read his page.

2010 Americana Music Award Nominees: Best Ne ..Today, we take a look the nominees for what I consider to be the most confusing category... Best New/Emerging Artist. Last year's award was won by Justin Townes Earle in his second year of being nominated (New Artist nominee two years in a row?). One of this year's nominees actually won Best Song last year, a year in which he was NOT nominated for New/Emerging Artist. Even though the nominating criteria seems to be a bit nebulous, the assembled nominees are all worthy of some sort of recognition. Sarah Jarosz burst onto the scene last year ...A Fifty Cent Lighter & A Whiskey Buzz3 September 2010

Especially since where we're headed is the same area where he was born and raised. Hair in My Eyes Like a Highland Steer is the fourth album by Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans, released in 2005. The album was certified gold and named Album of the Year by the Canadian ...Good Rockin' Tonight19 August 2010

Hillside 2010: Day 3Review of the 2010 Hillside Festival, Guelph Conservation Area, Ontario Part three of three. Part one posted on August 16 . Part two posted on August 17 . Perfect day in Guelph, despite the previous day's deluge. Day 3 The weather on the third day of Hillside , Sunday, July 25, could not have been better. The traffic volunteers were directing everyone to a different field on this day, and you could still see a few stuck cars in giant mud puddles in the adjacent lot. It looked the beginnings of Hillside's own Carhenge . More importantly though, I had my act ...My Aimz is True19 August 2010
