Our special guest for today's Record Club is Zane Pugh, who sings for the killer San Antonio band, Hardside. Join us as we discuss Alan Jackson's "Here in the Real World," Gillian Welch's "Hell Among the Yearlings," and Margo Price's "Midwest Farmer's Daughter." From what I've found, this town gets around.

Join us as we take a look at the two records that book-ended Justin Townes Earle's short but incredible career: Yuma and The Saint of Lost Causes.

"She'd talk about Mississippi

Still don't know how it is

Any place could be worse than this

It's hard to believe"

Not an easy listen today, as we explore Steve's tribute to his son Justin Townes Earle. Also, being absolutely gigged out but loving every minute of it. Walk up the FDR with us, singing and clapping our hands.

This record from 2020 has some songs that belong in the American folk canon. Full stop. Join us as we talk about labor history, black lung, what they did/didn't teach us in school, Pope Francis, and Chuck Yeager arguing with teenagers on twitter.

Don't wanna hear about the state of the economy

Fiscal reality, profit and loss

None of that matters once you're underground anyway

Damn sure can't tell me nothin' 'bout cost

We're joined by our special guest Nate Hardy (Highway Eyes, Infinite Electric Tattoo) to hang out and discuss some excellent records by The Band, Wilco, and Richard Buckner. Also, alienating your friends by obsessing over guitar gear, being excited to see The Melvins, and making sure you get the good kind of brain damage.

Join us as we discuss "Without Getting Killed or Caught," a fantastic documentary about the life of Guy Clark (and Susanna Clark and Townes Van Zandt). Also, Vinnie Stigma, Cincinnati Hardcore, Mahmoud Khalil, and a whole lot of doom with just a little slice of hope.

Let's talk about Steve's tribute album for his friend and mentor, the incredible Guy Clark. Let's also talk about hardcore shows, caves, the National Park Service. Also, we must warn you that this episode contains PADDINGTON IN PERU SPOILERS.

Join us as we discuss Waylon Jennings' outlaw country masterpiece, "Honky Tonk Heroes." It's been a good month of Sundays and a guitar ago.
