Most people either love him or hate him, but I like some of the stuff Christ Knight puts out. You have to like that kind of music, if not, keep on moving, but he does sing with some soul. I had a hard time finding much on Youtube from him. Most are crappy sounding live vids. The one I found has decent sound, but the video is kind of lame.
Other songs I like from him
Cry Lonely
Down the River
Nothing on me
Go on home [Reply]
I'm normally not huge on female leads but Kylie Rae Harris is pretty damned good. I listed to her perform this song in the studio of a local (for around here) radio station. She was damn good. In a crappy ass western Kansas radio station. It boggles my mind how Taylor Swift can be a superstar, but couldn't hold a candle to this chick. Anyway, she's worth a listen IMO:
I don't have her on any kind of rotation, here are some of her songs I like
I'd Rather Be Lonely
Slide Over
Waited. [Reply]
If you like female contributions, the Trisha's are talented. You'll hear some of those ladies doing the female parts on many red dirt duets.
Sturgil Simpson (also found in Sunday Valley on youtube)
Sturgil is a veteran. Some of his music you swear you are listening to Waylon Jennings. He has a very traditional, nasally sound. The thing that separates him from the others, besides his voice....is he's a very intelligent guy. He is big into hallucinogens and sings and talks alot about mind expansion, universe stuff....as well as shrooms, DMT and sensory deprivation chamber stuff.
My favorites from him:
Life Ain't Fair......the first song of his I heard and I was a fan in 20 seconds.
Medicine Springs
You can have the crown
Turtles all the way down.
The new album is pretty spacey and he swears you have to hear it on vinyl and high to get it......
He has a 2hr podcast with Joe Rogan that was pretty interesting, and has been getting mainstream play this past couple of months on Letterman and Late night shows.
I much prefer his live stuff to the recorded. I've never met him personally but he's very talented. I talked to a guy who had him come and play a birthday party so for a fee and an airplane ticket you can get this guy at your house....
He has a long list and alot of it deals with traditional country problems, drinking, wife leaving, but he has a nice spin on the comeback too.
This is the song that turned me on to Jason eady Music
AM COUNTRY HEAVEN
Waiting to Shine
Judgement Day. He talks about Kansas City and playing this song for his hero there.
This Old Guitar and Me....... one of my personal favorites.
This band has 2 styles of music depending on which of the leads are singing. It's like listening to 2 different bands sometimes. One has a Dillon type sound and Nino(the short guy) I'd say has more of a John Cougar Mellencamp quality.
The distinguishing thing about this band is the drummer, who plays a wooden box drum(I believe what Bob Dole from CP plays)....I've seen them a few times in a small venue and have chatted with all of them for a couple of hours. Nice guys who like to play music.
Hellbound Glory
This band broke up at the end of the year and that talent is now solo as Leon Virgil Bowers.
They call their music "Scumbag Music" and their female followers "Scum hags". Kind of makes sense.
I've had a beer with this guy, and I can't say I'd consider them solid human beings afterwards, but the guy can sing and has a unique sound. They got most of their original notoriety doing viral videos, and toured last year with Kid Rock for a while.
Bastard Child This is the song that I found that put me onto their music
Better Hope you Die Young This is the song for every bad girlfriend you ever had
Lost Cause
Malt Liquor I like this song, but it's more mainstream they played on the Kid Rock tour
I kind of feel like I'm talking to myself.
Is there enough interest in this to be worth the effort? I'll keep doing it if you're digging it or I'll climb back inside my own personal jukebox if not. [Reply]

Don't stop. I love this type music. I've been playing these songs on background while I do other work on my laptop.
I just don't have anything I can contribute to the thread like most I suspect. [Reply]
I tried Red, but I'd rather read a deberg thread about the Cinco De Mayo parade I attended with Kcnative than listen to that song again, but you seem nice.
