That entire Jenny Lewis solo album (Acid Tongue) is great.

And speaking of Steve Earl proteges, this is a vid my wife took when Scott Miller was in town earlier this year, playing a request for me:

Steve's son (Justin Townes) has finally put out a solid album on Bloodshot. I didn't care for him in the past, but he's become a better songwriter with age.

Thanks. I'll give it a listen.

I liked Lonely Pine Hill, Mama's Eyes and Midnight at the Movies, though they could have been his dad's songs, but everything else has been kinda mediocre.

Recommend a track or post a Youtube clip! I'd never heard of them until a few minutes ago and listening to Murdered in the City now. Nice! I know some people give her all the country cred of a female Kid Rock, but I like Sheryl Crow's new Carter Family cover (you know, that Son Volt song about the magazine

)

No Depression was an Uncle Tuepelo (Jay Farrar from Son Volt, Jeff Tweedy from Wilco) song not Son Volt. That being said, I haven't heard Son Volt in years but their first album was brilliant.

Got out some old Townes stuff and an album I really like by this unknown girl Tiny Vipers.

 

[JustinW]

I've been listening to the Meat Purveyors lately - I wish there was a decent youtube vid for them!

 

[milosz]

I like Tiny Vipers (she sounds like Nico), but I wouldn't claim anyone signed to Sub Pop is "unknown."

Hi
This will be my first semester of college and I want to take Music Appreciation and Lifetime Fitness and Wellness. They are only offered online. Do these courses require a large amount of work?
