there just isn't enough honky tonk on this website and this mix is going to change that. i made this for a friend of mine who was living in seattle and missing west virginia, where we are from. right now i'm in transition, just moved to brooklyn, ny so i redid the mix. slide guitar, yodeling and banjo picking. you're going to love it, i swear.
the mix tries to follow a narrative arc. read on.

| 6 | Gary Allen : A Showman's Life |
|
Realization: the bittersweet truth. (I've got this soft spot now for bad radio country. I think its one of those things that when you resist and dislike something for so long but are exposed to a lot of it growing up, you eventually come around to liking it in some weird way. this song I can't resist putting here. Gary Allen is terrible. He is covering a very good Jesse Winchester song and somehow his version turns out great. and willie nelson makes an appearance to boot.) SHOW MORE
