The @robertearlkeen album Picnic came out in 1997.

But his car burnt up at Willie Nelson's Fourth of July Picnic in 1974. 47 years ago today ...

He tells the story to John Spong (@sponglr) of @TexasMonthly here:

@biiilyedwards This is fine by me, Billy.
It’s how rock and roll works. You take the broken pieces of another thrill and make a brand new toy. That’s what I did. #subterreaneanhomesickblues #toomuchmonkeybusiness

Well, @TheDecemberists were quite good yesterday at #TellurideBluegrassFestival. Their first post-COVID live show, their first in-person acoustic show ever ... it was an amazing late afternoon show, ranking as one of the best non-bluegrass shows in Festival history.

I can report that live music/festivals are back AND that every artist who performs at #TellurideBluegrassFestival is commenting about how long it's been and how good it is to be doing this again. Those attending like hearing it each time. Good work, @planetbluegrass!

[Mando Lines @Mando_lines]

@aburtch @watchhouseband They were great - first time I've seen them with a band, though it played more like a fortified duo.

Canola Fields, new music from @JamesMcMurtry

So glad to get to hear this, it's been a while since we had some new stuff. Album on its way.

Listening to Shannon @McNally with @BuddyandJim on @SXMOutlaw. They’ve had some great shows over the years, but damn. This was top shelf. And that #waylonjennings record is WOW. Having a woman sing those songs (with that band) honors him AND makes them brand new. Bravo!

@gretchenpeters @Tennessean More antidotal evidence that the @Tennessean needs copy editors

@marygauthier_ @StMartinsPress You got this!

[Mando Lines @Mando_lines]

Thanks for this, made my Monday. Grinning my ass off as he sort of sang, big smile when you guys kicked in, and chills at the end.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSANNE AND BOB!

@aclfestival Modest Mouse has shown up in a lot of festival lineups. It's got to be hard to remain modest.

Summer edition of @nodepression is FULL of stuff. Every page, something jumps right out at you. One of the best editions yet, and there have been some good ones.
Example: @CharlieDonovan's great piece on Maxayn Lewis, the voice of Ma Rainey, has a @brucehornsby mention.
