Members TravvyBear Posted September 6, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 6, 2012 I love Harvest, Neil is great. Speaking of Alt Country, I'm on the "most popular" page for the alt country tag on bandcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mdrake34 Posted December 26, 2012 Members Share Posted December 26, 2012 This thread needs to not die. Apparently the original Alt country thread over at TGP got too long or closed or something, so they've created several new ones. I read through the newest one last night, and apart from erksin, those people are so {censored}ing insufferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting POV because they are actually some of the nicest, most gracious actual musicians I've ever met online. Totally welcoming and helpful to newbs, lots of those guys tour the world playing their original music or record with some of the biggest names in the genre. Those same insufferable {censored}ers would welcome you without hesitation and you'd learn a ton from them, but yeah I'd stay away if I were you. lol And FWIW - TGP closes threads that are over 1000 posts now. I think since about 2007-ish when it first started up and surviving several complete forum reboots where 10K+ post threads were lost, the Alt.C threads have a total of well over 50k posts now.

Well I've always joked that I would fit in much better there than here - I'm an attorney and I play white guy blooz licks on my strat and 335. Plus I play in a covers group that plays mustang sally. All I need is a klon now, haha. I have a screen name there, but I don't think I've ever posted. I'll have to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently rejoined (was kicked out in 2006 or so...) I've tried to fit in but...well, I do have problems with innacurate statements. "Sounds chewy" doesn't bother me, but "my EMG pickups will drive 10 BOSS pedals without toan loss" drives me crazy.

Members mdrake34 Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 This is more straight ahead country, but I don't care, it's fantastic.

Agreed, that thing is awesome. Apparently Kenny uses flatwound 12's on his tele, to watch him play you'd think he has 9's on that thing. Killer princeton tone too.

Members timrocker Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 Baseboard Heaters out of Portland OR were a fabulous alt.country act that had the classic almost made it experience. Seeing Red is a great CD from them and a good example of what they were up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sodakker Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 The Austin-San Antonio axis is strong in this thread. If you want to know what's happening in the Americana scene, there's a good chance high quality music is playing either of these venues:http://www.liveatfloores.comhttp://gruenehall.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
