@frodo2734 Yeah modern country blows, it's all recycled sensitive 80s hair metal power ballads and southern rock songs. Still, you're right. Paul Westerberg always had a country-rock vibe to his songwriting. So many great songs, too many to name! I know that Paul Westerberg is a fan of old country music, not sure what he thinks about the new stuff such as Rascal Flatts?
@mskcouric drummer is MICHAEL BLAND, of North Minneapolis, formerly of PRINCE's NEW POWER GENERATION(1980's) but lately he played for NICK JONAS ugh, also with VERNON REID and filled in for some SOUL ASYLUM shows and on an album, BTW since leaving AXL ROSE's employ TOMMY STINSON has been playing bass for SOUL ASYLUM. Wikipedia says BLAND performed on a PW tour in 2005?? But this video is from 1996, Irving Plaza, Manhattan, NYC, so 2005? Misprint? I don't think PW toured in 2005
@PatheticHero Yep, PW toured in 2005 with Bland on drums for the Folker tour. And Tommy is still with GnR, and also performs with Soul Asylum on occasion.
99% of the country artists today wish they could write a song this good. "F" that, make it 100%! And not just country, but all musical artists.
