Any combo of western swing, honky tonk and hillbilly boogie sounds like a winner to me. Plus the cover is iconic. Rockin' Bonnie sounds like a winner. After hearing "Hell Ride Boogie. I want to hear more. I will certainly see if Bonnie is indeed a rocker. <> One of the things that I always admired in the VC was the variety of tastes. You surely set the bar high. Excellent update H~ Rob/Boston

Thank you very much for these nice music discoveries. Above all Marcella Simien sounds wonderfull! Greetings from Northern Germany.
-
Oops, make that Hedley.
-
All these were new and of interest to me, especially that Numero Group release. Thanks for sharing!
-
Thanks Hadley, great stuff. Twenty-odd years back, I’d enjoy The Mavericks on South Beach when they were the only Miami alt country band (not a total contradiction), just before they moved to Nashville.
-
Rockin' Bonnie is terrific ! Lately, I've added " Brujo" NRPS Poco " Under The Gun" ( my only missing title ) Billy Joe Shaver " Old Five And Dimers Like Me" also.. Taos ! Nice showing on this one, Hedley 🎵
-
You are really delivering the variety! Everything here is great but I especially love the sound of Vera Sola and Branko Mataja. Branko reminds me a little bit of Marc Ribot and Bill Frisell.

Another 20 minutes of musical fabulousness, Hedley..and I enjoyed everything, however I have to say that Vera Sola was stunning..I will stream the rest of the album, but I am pretty sold already..love her vocals and the backing was just superb. Love the back story of the Yugoslavian guy, a maverick musician, building his own guitars and effects, recording from home..he and Dave Evans would've definitely hit it off!. Great video. Rob.

Hi Hedley! I hardly know any of the albums you show but I really like your videos. Inspirational and entertaining to listen to you. Good work!
-
Good to see you back in my feed. I missed you. Just wanted to share a stat I think you'll find interesting, and it's that George Strait, a 72 year old American country singer, just sold over 110,000 tickets to a stadium show somewhere in Texas. It's the highest number of tickets ever sold for a single performance by anyone, at least in the States. Eat your heart out Taylor.

All great choices, but the Marcella really resonated with me. Very funky as well. There is a great version of Where You Are on their live album. Going to be doing some more research. Cheers!
-
All stellar picks, Hedley! Thanks for sharing these! Great ear you’ve got there!

My name Joseph Cvetetic..raised on Croatian folk music..

You can't have too much Yugoslavian folk! I did like that - very tempted to invest in a copy. Also enjoyed the needle drop for Vera Sola, so maybe another one to get - will check out the rest of the album. Nice to see some retro-country from the old country too 😁. Nice video Hedley... Cheers... Pete

Hi Hedley - I liked the Calexico feel of Vera Sola music and she has a distinct voice. Not particularly my think but Rockin' Bonnie sounded fun. Branko Mataja was the pick of the bunch for me I will be exploring that. Cheers Dale
-
I started thinking about Calexico as you were giving your description and then you mentioned them. I will have to check out Vera Sola. I love seeing soul and country as well with two artists new to me. I see that the Mataja album was put out by Numero (which you pointed out) but they have put out so many great releases. Happy listening.
-
I used to think (and friends told me) that I had a taste for overly dramatic music. Then I met you, Hedley. 😄 No… the Vera Sola album is really good. I haven’t picked up a physical copy though. I’m not even saying I have a ton of the records from their catalog, but I honestly think I could only buy records from Numero Group and be totally fine. I would never do that, but just saying… Cheers, Hedley ✌🏻

Based on this line-up, i'd suggest Lhasa de Sela (r.i.p.); Sacri Cuori (Italian instrumental; you'll love them if you enjoy Calexico); June McDoom (either of two EPs & her debut digital single on Temporary Residence); СОЮЗ / SOYUZ "Force of The Wind" (their latest, but their earlier LPs are also very good; Band from Belarus who are deeply inspired by classic style MPB); Dig the Mataja; really love Over Fields and Mountains.

Branko Mataja... WOULD HE SAY: "I GOT TO TAPE PLAYERS AND A MICROPHONE"??? 😂😂 GET IT!?!
-
I got a bit of a Coen Brothers soundtrack vibe from your purchases. What's in my bag makes me wanna visit there in reality would it be a letdown though as all the work is done for you. This camp near York is it the one that's now a museum?
