A star of the punk and new wave eras, Costello took a left turn with 1981’s Almost Blue, an album comprised entirely of covers of country songs, stickered with a warning to “narrow minded listeners”. Good Year For The Roses, first recorded by George Jones in 1970, gave Costello an unlikely Top 10 hit in the UK. It’s a desperately sad song, and he s...
Minneapolis’s alt.country pioneers The Jayhawks swam upstream through the 1980s before signing with Def American Records and scoring an unexpected hit with 1992’s Hollywood Town Hall album. Two Angels defines their sound: the Stones’ session man Nicky Hopkins plays spectral piano, while frontman Mark Olson serves up weeping harmonica and a spiky vo...
With their model looks and impeccable backstory, the Followill clan seemed too good to be true – until this third single confirmed there was substance behind the style.Bloodshot-eyed and malevolent, driven by a nagging shuffle beat and a frankly indecipherable vocal, this is country rock in skinny jeans, thrillingly rebooted for the post-millennium...
Before he set out on what became a prolific solo career, Ryan Adams was the frontman with alt.country types Whiskeytown. The band’s major-label debut, 1997’s Strangers Almanac, featured this wonderful treatise on romantic despair. Lead guitarist Phil Wandscher brings the twang, and a pedal steel sighs softly as Adams sings of sleepless nights and r...
Introducing this track from Utopia’s self-titled 1982 album, Rundgren once said: “In the long history of Utopia, we’ve poked our noses into every musical nook and cranny we could find, and it looks like there’s only place left to go: Nashville.” Bakersfield would’ve been more accurate. The revved-up twang and two-part harmonies of Forgotten are pur...
Sharing the soundtrack for the film Zabriskie Point with the Grateful Dead and Jesse Colin Young nudged Pink Floyd toward a novel country flavour. Atop a horse-clop rhythm and cowboy chords, they conjure their own idiosyncratic desert moonscape: lyrics that reference mythology, blasts of Gilmour’s guitar and a chorus that plays like an early draft ...
Yes, it’s schmaltzy, but this 1968 masterpiece written by Jimmy Webb is a timeless slice of country. All swooning strings, sublime melody and cowboys-at-sunset longing, it’s been dubbed both “the first existential country song” and “the greatest pop song ever composed”. It’s also arguably the first real bridge between country sweetness and mainstre...
After the sugar-sweet likes of Six Ways To Sunday, Holding All The Roses, the title track of the Georgia quintet’s fourth album presented a more pensive, arguably more powerful form of countrified rock. The song’s bluegrass-tinged foundations of acoustic guitar and heart-racing violin, however, are pure country – the sound of a band simultaneously ...
This rollicking Gram Parsons cover, and the title track from Harris’s fourth album, kept the flame burning for her old duet partner who’d passed away three years earlier. Brian Ahern and the great Albert Lee double up on guitars on an expert fusion of bluegrass and rockabilly, Harris cutting through the heartache with her crystal-pure voice. RH
There was always something of the rodeo rider in Keith Emerson’s wrangling of wild Hammonds. And what better soundtrack for a Yorkshire cowboy than Aaron Copland’s Hoedown? Inspired by the an old Kentucky fiddle tune, the 1942 orchestral piece conjured up the mythic Wild West in broad strokes, here given DayGlo colour by ELP’s switched-on take. BDM
