Well turns out a lot, actually, 33 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: especially that Taylor Swift part. But I'm not going to 34 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: go down that rabbit hole here, and rather than to 35 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: explain to you why classic country has everything to do 36 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: with modern forms of music, particularly modern forms of aggressive 37 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: music like punk rock and even hip hop, I thought 38 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 1: I would instead share with you how I got into 39 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: classic country by mistake, by accident. I was in my 40 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: late teens, I forget how old exactly, and my dad 41 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: had for years been telling me about the importance of 42 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: country music on rock and roll and all the music 43 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,399 Speaker 1: that I loved, But I put him on the pane 44 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: of my list when it came to the subject, I 45 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: didn't give shit. What did Hank Haggard, Jones or whatever 46 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: the fuck his name was have to do with Who's 47 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: coudu or suicidal or misfits and a Metallica. Now, right 48 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: around this time, my late teens, my dad, who I 49 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: told you guys before as a musician, A lot of 50 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: you know him actually who listened to this, But my 51 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: dad started playing this tiny club on Monday nights in 52 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: Jamaica playing Boston called the Brendan Bean. I was around 53 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: eighteen years old at the time. And when I say tiny, 54 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: I mean tiny. This bar is I think I called 55 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: it a club that was That was a mistake. It 56 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: was a bar and no stage, and you had to 57 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: kind of if you wanted to go to the bathroom, 58 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: you had to kind of like walk through the band 59 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: as they were playing and be careful not to like 60 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: step on pedals or bump into them. The band was 61 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: fucking incredible. These nights were incredible and it was yet 62 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: to be twenty one. To get in, I don't know 63 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: how I got in but I got in a lot. 64 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: My dad certainly didn't help me get in. He might 65 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: have said something like, you know, my kid's not drinking, 66 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: don't throw them out type of thing. I didn't drink. 67 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: I was respectful. I got that I knew that I 68 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: was putting. I knew that I was putting the liquor 69 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: license on the line for the working folks, even at 70 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: that young age. So anyhow, I was in got into 71 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: this bar. So watch this band and my dad had formed. Now, 72 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: I didn't care what the type of band it was, 73 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: what kind of music they were playing. I just wanted 74 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: to be around live music and be around my dad, 75 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: and be around with my dad was doing and creating, 76 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: and so you know this band then, my dad had 77 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: formed only for these Monday night shows. By the way, 78 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: it was for this residency. The band was called the 79 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: I and I'm Brothers. And the musicians in this band 80 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: were and still are straight up assassins. A guy by 81 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: the name of Jay Belrose on drums. Look Jay up. 82 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 1: He now plays with icons like Robert Plant Madonna on 83 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: bass high harmonies. Another dude named Paul Bryan, who's another 84 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: top notch guy, produced a bunch of great stuff since 85 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: then played with artists like Elvis Costello, Amy Mann, among others. 86 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: And on guitar two dudes, two guitars, one named Kevin Barry, 87 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: the other named Duke Levine, who to this day are 88 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: a level session in touring guitars who will melt your 89 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: faces when you see them perform. They're both in Bonnie 90 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: Rates Band. Now, by the way, I'm not telling Bostonians. 91 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: Anyone from Boston, Cambridge, Summerville knows exactly what I'm talking about. 92 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: I'm not telling you anything new about these guys, but 93 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: I'm telling the rest of you because these dudes could 94 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: and can play any style of music at the highest level. 95 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: And the style of music they played with my old 96 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: man fronting them who was singing, the style they all 97 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: played was country music. That's what the Ideen Brothers were. 98 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: Was a country band, okay, and a tiny Irish pub 99 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: in Boston, mass country music again in a tiny Irish 100 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: pub in Jamaica Plaine in Boston. And you know that bar, 101 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: the Brendan Bean was just filled to the brim with 102 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: music heads like you, Guys like me again though from Boston. 103 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: Music heads from Boston who showed up to see a 104 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: little band who only performed on Monday nights in Boston 105 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: to hear them play incredible country music songs by George 106 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: Jones and the Carter Family, Conway Twitty and of course 107 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: Merle Haggard. So my dad, who fronted this band, he 108 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: grew up before punk rock, but he grew up playing 109 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: in frat houses and when he was in high school, 110 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: his high school band he actually played like college on campus, 111 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: college campuses and fratthouses, and after high school the same thing. 112 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: So you know, think like his bands, then I'm guessing 113 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: we're like Sonics, young rascals, Kingsmen, pre punk energy is 114 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: what I'm trying to get at. It's in my old 115 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: man's DNA, okay, and he brought that to Aide'm brothers 116 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: shows to this country music. And when I saw it, 117 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: when I saw my dad playing, I knew what the 118 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: hell was going on. What I saw was punk rock 119 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: and this tiny little Irish bar with face melting guitar 120 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: solos and high, lonesome country harmonies. And I realized, I 121 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: realized what I'd been missing about country music, country rock, pop, punk, 122 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,239 Speaker 1: even hip hop. On some level, it's all the same. 123 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: The difference is that throughout time As these musical styles evolve, 124 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: or perhaps a better word, as they refine, they lose 125 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: that initial energy that sparked the genre in the beginning. 126 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: Country became huge business in the years after Hank Williams, Hank, 127 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: you know, Hank Williams took it from violent hockey talks 128 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: to the top of the charts, you know, with Tony Bennett. 129 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: Same with rock and roll. Those early beatles Hamburg gigs 130 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: are about as punk as punk gets. But alas with success, 131 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: all that energy gets sucked out. Okay, and you know 132 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: the band of all is into obladill o b love. 133 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: Please shut the fuck up. Punk rock was a correction, 134 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: that's all. It was Joe Strummer rattling his telecaster and 135 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: saying to rock and roll, Hey, what the fuck is 136 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: going on? Rock and roll? Hank Williams is rolling over 137 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: in his grave. Where is the energy? Guys? So when 138 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: I first heard country music as a kid, there wasn't 139 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: any ergy. I couldn't identify the energy in it, I 140 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: should say, okay, and I imagine that if you've never 141 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: heard classic country music and aren't a fan and are 142 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: looking to say Morgan Wallen or Luke Combs, you probably 143 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: feel in the same way you're sitting there saying, where's 144 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: the energy, Merle Haggard, that's your answer. The answer is 145 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: with Merle Haggard. And I'm not talking about an exact 146 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: comp to the punk rock energy or rock and roll 147 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: energy that you're familiar. You might be familiar with three 148 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: chords played fast with a dude yelling over them into 149 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: a microphone. But I am talking about the same three 150 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: chords and the truth type of energy, even though it 151 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: ain't fast, it's heavy. Go listen to the Fighting Side 152 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: of Me or Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down by 153 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: Merle Haggard, or The Image of Me by Conway Twitty, 154 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: or You're Still on My Mind by George Jones, and 155 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: then work your way back in time to Hank Williams 156 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: and Hank Snow and Letti Frizelle. Those dudes were punk 157 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: before we had a name for it and lived the 158 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: life they sang about in their songs, violent, aggressive, transgressive 159 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: lives filled with b bank guitar strings, but also in 160 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: some cases from behind bars, as was the case with 161 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: Merle Haggard.

Heather Dill writes in Hey, Jake and everyone 418 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: at Disgraceland, I'm a longtime center and love your podcast, 419 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: And today I was listening to the after party where 420 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: you asked for stories about meeting your rock stars. Made 421 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,719 Speaker 1: me think about meeting my musical hero and wondering if 422 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: you could ever do a podcast on my favorite band, 423 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: Pearl Jams Zeth Lundy are you're listening to this? I've 424 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: often thought when listening that it would be a less 425 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: interesting than some stories, because for the most part, the 426 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: band is clean, steady, loyal and stands up for good causes, 427 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: not to mention that they are still putting out killer 428 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 1: music in live shows. You know. Oh, actually, let's see hear. 429 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: Heather just has this quick little anecdote about meeting Eddie Vetterer. 430 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: So here's my story about meeting Eddievedter Charlotte, North Carolina, 431 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six. I helped register voters, got invited backstage 432 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 1: where I met the whole band, what including Eddie. Asked 433 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: him for a hug and he shyly complied, and then 434 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: we got a pick with my disposable camera, but I 435 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: could not develop it due to the film being exposed. 436 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: Now that is a disgrace, Heather. I'm working on a 437 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: way to bring you stories about bands that did not 438 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: get embroiled in crimes. We're trying to figure that out, 439 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: so appreciate your text. Actually your DM all right at 440 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 1: s Graslam Pod. You guys wanna DM me. I'm gonna 441 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: take a quick break the recommendations part. This is the 442 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: recommendations part, the part where we recommend the things that 443 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: need recommending. The recommendations part what I've been listening to 444 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 1: so well. Literally, as I was sitting there getting my 445 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: notes together to come in here and record, there's this 446 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 1: Chicago video on in the background with Peter Setera that's 447 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: a guy's name, right, singer wearing a fucking Bauhause T shirt. 448 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: Is this the final straw that causes me to take 449 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: Chicago seriously? Hey? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, there's 450 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: also some chick in this video who looks just like Madonna. 451 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 1: What's happening? What is going on here? 452 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 2: Uh? 453 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: That's that's what I need to know. I don't know, 454 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: you know. I hear Chicago sometimes, guys, and I'm just like, 455 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: this is the most painful, uh Vanilla, just I can't deal. 456 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: And then I hear some of it and I'm just like, 457 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: this is incredible. I love this. I'm rolling the windows down, 458 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,199 Speaker 1: I'm driving a little faster than I should be. I 459 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,479 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. I'm not willing to accept 460 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: Chicago yet. I'm not there, Okay, all right. So what 461 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 1: I'm listening to, aside from the classic country inspired by 462 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,719 Speaker 1: Merle Haggard that we talked about earlier, I'm still on 463 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: this post punk kick from the New Order episode a 464 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: couple weeks back or week back, I should say, we 465 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: talked about the biggest post punk bands post nineteen eighty 466 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 1: and we opened it up to the nineties. So here's 467 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: my top five list, along with one record each for 468 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: ease of listening. The greatest English post punk group for 469 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,959 Speaker 1: me is, without question number one, The Cure, And if 470 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: you're going to name one Cure record. For me, it's integration. 471 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: I know the purists are cringing right now, but hey, 472 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 1: I could have said wish I almost did, all right, okay? 473 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: Number two. Second greatest English post punk band of all 474 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: the time Oasis. You can probably argue the number one, 475 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: but their album What's the Story Warning Glory, that's definitely 476 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 1: the record. I can make a case, like I said 477 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: for Oasis and the number one, so but my personal 478 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: preference one out. I guess in some weird way, I 479 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: don't know that we get Oasis without the Cure. I'm 480 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 1: not sure what I mean by that exactly, but I'm 481 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: at least fifty percent committed to that. Take number three. 482 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: Third greatest post punk British group Smith's just the Smiths, 483 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: the Smiths and the Smiths and the album. For me, 484 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna cheat here louder than Bombs. I know it's 485 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: unfair because it's a compilation, but it is nonetheless a 486 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: staggering document of unrivaled originality and genius and MARSSI fucking roles. Okay, 487 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: number four. It pains me to say this. I feel 488 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 1: like I'm losing my rock and roll cred by saying this, 489 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,719 Speaker 1: like I should get my fucking cool cardvoked because I'm 490 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: such a fucking dork, but I think this quote unquote 491 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: cool band is actually so uncool.
