So I’m visiting my parents who live in absolute nowheresville, VA. Satellite internet territory. Will I be able to stream the TT Show tomorrow? Or is it a live only thing?

How do I watch the Turnpike Troubadours Livestream?

Looks like you have a day or 2

I’ll see what happens. I’m not overly concerned about seeing them via livestream, but I would want to watch if they play anything new

They’re playing Nickelback, and early 2000’s rock in between acts at Pecos, and I feel way out of my element

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Now Snoop Dogg. What have I done.

Hot take: Pecos has that one good song, but other than that, no one would know them.

I guess you could say that about any band though

I can see it. I won’t lie, that’s probably why I’m here. They have a couple other good ones. They’ve put on a good show so far. Enjoyable.

And yeah, especially since they only have one EP out. They’ve played some new stuff, and it’s really good.

Now Snoop Dogg. What have I done.

Hot take of my own:

I’d rather hear some Snoop D-O-Double G than mainstream country every day of the week.

At least the first couple of shows it sounded like Turnpike was coming out to Hendrix

According to the set list, TT didn’t play anything new so I’m kind of glad I didn’t pay to stream it

We fell asleep early. It'll show up somewhere soon I would think

It’s insane to think, but I actually forget how remarkable George Strait is. I know he didn’t write a lot, but his delivery is ALWAYS impeccable

A must play at any wedding

I suggested they play “give it away” at my cousins wedding. My recommendation was ignored

New ZB album tomorrow, one way or another, it’ll be entertaining

I should finish listening to it by next Friday lol

Going to get a reminder why albums are 10 - 12 songs

I really don't know what he's going for here. I can't see it being 34 bangers and those that are will get lost in the weeds.

Especially given that he’s also got two EP’s on the way.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Also, nice to see Nix and Zach bury the hatchet.

I know I’m a bigger Zach fan than most here but I do agree that this 34 track album will be full of too much fluff and should be cut down. Having said that, what he’s charging is within $10 of what I’ve paid for other 8-10 song albums that barely last half an hour.

I don’t know if there’s 15-18 good songs that could’ve been one great double album but I definitely don’t hate, every once in a while, someone giving me something that takes more than an episode of Seinfeld to get through listening to.

Gave the ZB album a listen since I got to work from home today.

Initial opinion - not as bad as I thought it was going to be, although there are some stinkers on there. A lot of repetitive songs as well. As I mentioned yesterday, a good example of why albums are 10 - 12 songs. I think he could’ve trimmed it down to 20 and still had a really good album with no real complaints.

Anyway, I appreciate the idea and thought process that went into his album, but I hope no one does it again.

Also, you can get vinyls of the album for pre-order…expected ship date - 03/2023

Got tickets to see both Flatland and Morgan Wade for the first time. It doesn’t say, but I believe Butts is opening up for Flatland. She’s with them the night before.
