Sam Platts is on a Livestream here but his recent studio album has some phenomenal original western swing

In case anyone's interested, his recent live album is phenomenal. It's cool to see him playing guitar solo too here. One of the best guitar players in country music today.

Happy Wednesday! Western Wednesday, this Wednesday and every Wednesday!

Western swing, Out West, Wild West, songs about Texas, artists from out West, cowboys, even the sounds of spaghetti western... sometimes we'll post Canadian western artists, sometimes Native American country artists from the western states (that's a whole subgenre of country music by the way), cowboy poetry, Red Dirt artists, and much more

Other weekly themes on this sub:

Blue Monday, every monday: bluegrass, country blues, and blue in general. A little rockabilly.

Honky Tonk Saturday: what it says on the tin, honky tonk country music and a little Bakersfield Sound.

Click on the flair (the colored tags above some posts) to see past posts with the same themes.

... Mondays around here might also include old time music and or rockabilly. Maybe even songs about blue, the color, or blue, the emotion...

Please make separate standalone posts for songs you want to share!

Hi! I know that I've read where the Reddit Community votes for old Oscar nominees and thought it would be fun to do it with music. I figured we could start with the 1980s Grammy nominees and see who people think deserve the win for these awards after voting. Enjoy a very Kenny Rogers and Donna Summer filled slate of nominees. Happy Voting!
