Going through a box of old CDs and found a bootleg that a friend had made for me a couple of weeks before he passed. New Riders of the Purple Sage recorded live from a show at the Taft Theater in Cincinnati on Halloween 1971. On this night, Jerry Garcia(Grateful Dead) accompanied the band on pedal steel. If you are unfamiliar, they were an alt-country/country rock/hippie country band that garnered quite a bit of popularity back in the day. I've linked a couple of their songs in this thread, previously.
Exceptionally good, on that night, was the band's cover of "Dim Lights, Thick Smoke". A song written by Joe Maphis(I have linked Maphis' version in this thread, previously) and originally released by Lester Flat and Earl Scruggs(two pioneers of the Bluegrass genre) in late 1952. Also really really good, is a cover of the Band's "The Weight".
The entire show can be listened to/downloaded, here: https://archive.org/...-10-30d1t07.shn

There's bound to be some Trumpers that won't perceive the very obvious, here. Also, since most country music fans are politically conservative, new country artists probably shouldn't try to alienate most of the fan base. This guy, Samuel Saint(he's an ex-Christian artist), also has a pretty good response to Jason Aldean's "Try That In A Small Town" that mocks the shit out that whole redneck culture enshrined in Aldean's stupid fucking song.
