Go see The Sadies sometime. Gotta agree. Never could get into truckers. First time I saw the Sadies it was them opening for a pathetic show Jenny and Johnny. Good thing too, cause I lost all sorts of respect for Jenny that show. Talk about a barf-fest, get a room lovebirds, I don't wanna see you sex eachother up with awkward smiles and google eyes on stage! The Sadies were brilliant, I wish they'd stitch together a great album of their own though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChrisFFTA Posted December 28, 2012 Members Share Posted December 28, 2012 All the Truckers I liked was Isbell, a little Hood. Now Jasons left they blow. Cooley is the main reason I never got into them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChrisFFTA Posted December 28, 2012 Members Share Posted December 28, 2012 Originally Posted by erksin 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. 100000% agree, its the only online music forum I have frequented where pleasant knowledgable folk have gathered where there is zero one up manship, bravado or disrespect. So, I am one of the insufferable {censored}ers you speak of... Boohoo me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mdrake34 Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 Watching all the Kenny Vaughan videos I can find led me to this guy, who Kenny plays with in one of his many side gigs, Sam Lewis. Killer singer, sorta of an americana-Ray Lamontagne vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
