Love the song, just came across the video. I know, so overbaked with hipness that even ScarJo is all over this. But still, it’s the real-deal grooviness. Can’t get enough.

Funny how so many of us fight against it. What’s the point of that?
Read this Slate article, pretty interesting and inspiring:

Lee Hazlewood discography
Came across this Praguefrank’s Country Music Discographies today, have barely begun to dig around, but looks interesting. For starters, he’s got a page on Lee Hazlewood that seems pretty substantial.

Tompall Glaser
Whatever happened the the great Tompall Glaser? Waylon’s onetime best friend during the outlaw heyday, he made some amazing albums, both alone and with his brothers Jim and Chuck. But since the ’80s he seems to have disappeared. Would love to know if he still performs–or writes/records.
You can also watch a performance of the great song “Rings” and a medley of the Glasers performing three country classics.
Note that Jim Glaser keeps a website and still performs; and four of the Glaser Brothers’ nephews (calling themselves The Brothers Glaser) have recorded a tribute album due to be released in the fall of 2009 (three songs are online for streaming).
Flea Market Montgomery: Interview with Sammy Stephens

Alvino Rey and his talking steel-guitar puppet
Steel guitar wiz Alvino Rey and orchestra doing St. Louis Blues, complete with a talking guitar puppet (!). Definitely freaky.
