C&W deserves documentary treatment, like jazz got (though maybe not 10 sessions worth --- sooooiiieee!). Great characters with hardscrabble backgrounds, lots of regional variety, etc. One fascinating period that I was able to observe a bit was when artists like the Byrds, Dylan and the Dead introduced a whole generation of hipsters and hippies to C&W. Man, all that long hair under cowboy hats... and I'm just talking about Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson. I remember seeing Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen and Asleep At The Wheel doing a gig together before either had cut an album. Not your Daddy's Oldsmobile. But no, I did not inhale. Where's my Nudie suit?

is an excellent recording on CD. In fact, highly recommended on a web page so I bought it. It is excellent!

Check-out the CDs from ' Sixteen Horsepwer-Low estate and Sackcloth'n'ashes. Actually this falls under Gothic C/W , but music is very good and great recording too.

Should read as ' Sixteen Horsepower'

nilthepil: you from the denver area? only thing i'd say is "gothic" about 16 horsepower is the name of the venue on s. broadway where the've performed. they do put on really fun shows.
