Who's Writing This?

 Well I'm just a simple country chicken…

Futurama? Anyone? Not a lot of crossover with country music folks and Futurama fans? Cool, cool.

So who am I? For the purposes of this project, I'm a country music listener. Have been since I was a kid, and that never really changed. Secondarily related, I'm also a classic rock fan, a folk music fan, a filk fan, a heavy metal fan, etc, etc. I like a lot of different kinds of music, and I listen to a lot of different kinds of music. My Spotify playlists are an absolute mess if you're looking to have a coherent genre experience. They're very…vibey.

Or they're related to one of my books. Because in the third-most important aspect of myself to this project, I'm a professional author. Why does that matter? Because it's a damn blog, so I better be able to write if we're going to have a decent time together here, right?

If you're a fantasy reader, you can check out those books here.

If you like the sound of men falling in love with other men, those books live over here.

Other minutiae: too many dogs, live in Washington, foodie, screaming leftist, gay, millennial.

I was originally going to include Rhiannon Giddens in this, but after musing on it, I honestly think she just deserves her own article at a later date. It’s not fair to her to write an article about a band she was in 8 years ago and have her as a passing note when she has more than established her own country sound in the interim. Same incredible voice, but the vibe is all her own. So Carolina Chocolate Drops. A group of multi-instrumentalist Black artists and vocalists, doing old-time music, americana, and classic country. And already, I can here some Nice White Person™ clacking away at their keyboard, ready to tell me how CCD isn’t really country. 1: I refer you back to the article by Elamin Abdelmahmoud I referenced in the Charley Pride entry and 2: if you really want to quibble about whethe...
