My Taste in Music

Songs of the day, albums of the month, and why I like them

  • January jams!

    A collection of songs I was jamming to in the month of January! In no particular order *Excluding the Dead since I posted a bunch of their tracks in my Bobby Wier tribute 24 Hours at a Time (Live) – The Marshall Tucker Band The Marshall Tucker Band has been in heavy rotation for me… Read more

  • Rest in Peace Bobby Weir October 16, 1947 – January 10, 2026

    January 22nd, 2026 I really hate that it has taken me so long to say this on here but REST IN PEACE BOBBY WEIR. Thank you for the music. I wish I posted on here more often, and I hope to eventually get back to a regular schedule. In the meantime, I think it would… Read more

    Conversation with the Devil – Ray Wylie Hubbard A good friend of mine described Ray Wylie Hubbard‘s famous track “Snake Farm” as “dirty old man music.” I have to say, he’s pretty spot on. I happen to really enjoy some of the more grimy tunes in RWH’s catalog when I’m in the right mood. Today,… Read more

    Bob Fudge – Colter Wall I’m finally done with the term, and I’m finally back to being able to jam out all day long at work. It’s a nice feeling for sure. It is an unfortunately temporary arrangement, but I am trying not to take it for granted. Colter Wall is one of the coolest… Read more

    Ever South – Drive-By Truckers It’s hard for me to believe that it has been so long since I’ve written on this blog. For those who don’t know, I started a Master’s program in early August, which has taken most of my free time that I would use to write. I really hate that. The… Read more

    Silver Dagger – Charley Crockett One of the best entertainers out today, Charley Crockett should be one of the faces of country music, but instead the powers that be continue to pander to a pop radio audience and perpetually shove acts like Morgan Wallen down our throats. Morgan has a cool voice, but his songs… Read more

  • Blog update

    As the few of you have most likely noticed, I am not on any sort of regular posting schedule anymore. I still plan to keep the blog up and certainly plan to keep writing on here! Make sure you subscribe! It’ll allow you to get an email when I do make a post. Thanks to… Read more

    Self Destructive Zones – Drive By Truckers The Drive By Truckers first post-Isbell record, Brighter Than Creation’s Dark is one of their best. There are plenty of songs to highlight and it was hard to choose just one for today’s post, but before I got into this album in it’s entirety, “Self Destructive Zones” was… Read more

    Slide Away – Oasis With the recent return to touring of the legendary Oasis, brothers Noel and Liam seem to have put aside their differences for ungodly amounts of money. More power to them. I am a fan of Oasis and thoroughly enjoy their studio and live stuff. According to Noel I haven’t really singled… Read more

    Breakdown – Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers I miss Tom Petty, dammit. I think I’ve mentioned that before. One of my favorite Heartbreakers tracks is also one of the group’s most popular, as well as being the group’s first single. “Breakdown” is slow yet intense and has a certain feeling to it that is borderline… Read more
