True

I don't think the PRF can sustain a Marty Stuart thread, so I'll drop this here. I always thought he was a dude, but never paid any real attention, as he was stuck in that 80's and 90's country ghetto for most of that era.

But apparently starting in 2010 he starting doing this neo-traditional thing with a very tight minimalist band. Sort of Buck Owens meets Billy Joe Shaver, but more recently delving into Byrds psychedelia and Link Wray with electric Sitars and stuff. He's not exactly a great writer, and much of the material is a homage, but if there is anybody else out there keeping pickin' alive, I am unaware of it.

20 some odd years ago my Step-mom started getting my dad and I multi packs of black Gold Toe athletic socks for Christmas. some years 24 pair. Anyone who works on their feet can tell you how fast we burn through socks. All I wear now. Not the fanciest or most expensive, but solid fucking socks.

He can play all right but that was a pretty forgettable tune. I see what you mean.

I like to watch old clips from the Porter Wagoner Show and stuff like that on Youtube now and again. Thumbs Carllile, that guy surely was underrated.

Incredible player. After seeing him interviewed extensively on Ken Burns' country music thing I can confidently say I'd enjoy beers with the guy.

Dude...

Not so much these days, but he was Hell on wheels at one point not so long ago.

Past that....
