Some New Americana

The young people working in this genre, which seems to include a lot of what we used to call country music as well as some other things, produce some good stuff. Sometimes it's covers of old Hank songs. Most of them are original, though. There's some good writing. 


Hank Jr. always had good writing.

The Lord and cold beer/
You can find both 'round here/
They'll take you, just as you are...

She asked me to dance, I could see/
She let 'em all think I could lead.

Well I lost my job today because the bossman's out of pay/
He said the price of life has gone astray and he just can't afford my cowboy wage/
I've got a wild horse, and a wild woman/
I'm gonna load 'em up in my pick-em up truck/
And head back down to the Land of Luck.

Bless his liver and his honky-tonk heart...
UPDATE: I like this one; she reminds me of Loretta Lynn.
