As a long time country/alt-country fan, I've grappled with being an urbanite who loves country. Nights spent listening to the Jayhawks end with my roomates wondering "what the hell are you listening to?!?!" So more or less I've kept it a secret. When talking about music, I profess a love for indie, soul, pop...Don't get me wrong, I'm open and flexible, but few things hit me in the gut the same way a country album can.
Lately, though, I've entered a whole new Toronto. A Toronto where people listen to Ryan Adams and Lucinda Williams. A Dakota Tavern Toronto. And now I want more. No more am I content to stick with the same few artists I've always listened to. I want the new stuff, the old stuff, the classics, straight country, pop country, bluegrass, folkgrass, to chew on grass. I want to see live music, I want to play live music.
I'm branching out, and I'm taking you with me.
