Chris Knight in Pennington Gap last night, hell of a good show as always

The Flatland album is better than the new Turnpike.

Disagree. They’re seemingly going for a different sound, at least on this album, and I’m just not crazy about it. And Felker’s lyrics are still better. Brought Me aside (which will be my favorite so of the year but not best), The Rut is a song of the year candidate imo.

And, as always, Flatland is more than free to change their sound, but also as always, I don’t have to be a fan

The sound change was definitely noticeable. It’s not “no shade of green” or “old school” but I still really enjoy it. I see myself going back to the Flatland album more than the Turnpike. Could be recency bias as I have not listened to the Turnpike album in a few weeks.

To be fair, there’s four songs I like, but it’s not a complete beginning to end winner

I can agree there. I’m not a huge fan of Last American Summer or New American Dream.

Also, based on last night’s live version of “life where we work out”, it’s actually based on if they were gym rats, and not actually their relationship succeeding

What’s crazy is the new album I keep going back to is Miss Morgan’s. It’s definitely a more pop sound than I usually like, but the lyrics are just phenomenal

Dallas, dude. I was just telling Bill how I thought this album sounded like filler from end to end.

There’s no flow to it.

One of my closest friends just got back from being stationed in Korea. His parents moved just outside of New Braunfels and between visiting them and en route to his next duty stop, he made his way to Mayberry to catch up with me and give me my new favorite coffee mug

Damn that sucks

Slaid Cleaves and Robby Fulks, really cool night. Glad it was a seated show since my fat ass was tired.

 

[Behr]

It's too hot to fish, to hot to golf and too coooooold at home.

He was a favorite of mine back in the day. Get well brother!

Floor seats for Turnpike in Knox are now $62, frankly its ******** that TM can do that.

I saw that. Tells me maybe their market is coming back to reality? I love TT, but I just don’t ever think the Red Dirt/Hill country scene is going to ever be that big

It may be selfish of me, but I'd welcome a move back to the clubs and less big rooms.

They're also on Vet Tix

So I don’t think this is Ticketmaster’s fault. The Knoxville market just didn’t sell as well as expected imo

 

[DrRosenRosen]

If you really want a deal on Turnpike tickets, there are plenty < $30 on Stubhub, Vivid, etc.

We're in for Merlefest Friday-Sunday

 

[Toujours Pret]

Katie Pruitt has a record dropping tomorrow

 

[kiddiedoc]

Who's opening tonight for TT?
