Red dirt country is our Jazz. It's country but not 24/7 my wife left me for my dog while driving my truck.

Whiskey Myers- Broken window serenade is a song about watching someone deal with a loved one on meth.

Tejon street corner thieves- blue lives murder. Goes ham on cops for killing folks. They also got a song called "oh my god" which has helped me deal with finding out my ma has stage 4 blood and lung cancer.

Amigo the devil has lots of deep songs that gives me white folks jazz/blues. One is called cocaine and abel. Another one I really feel in my heart is stronger than dead.

Sorry to go on rant. I love sharing music I listen to.

I had to go back and look to see if I wrote this comment.

Alt-country and dark Americana are my jam. Whiskey Myers is from my neck of the woods and actually calls out the titty bar that was down the street from where I worked (I passed that thing at least 10 times a week) in Broken Window Serenade. Used to go watch them play local shows in the late 00s and early 10s before I moved to Houston. They are all pretty good guys.

I feel like a few weeks ago I called out Cocaine and Abel as being one of the saddest songs I know somewhere on Lemmy.

I'll also say that smack gave us a lot of grunge music.

My former boss, when I did flooring, listened to Myers. The song stone, I think it was, had me hooked.

Then from there The Dead South- in hell I'll be in good company, which sent me to The White Buffalo, and then from there a deep rabbit hole.

I love knowing music of different walks of life. My pandora will go from Matchbox20 and Goo goo dolls, to Lamb of God, Spark Master Tape, Tupac, pretty much everything.

I actually started listening to rap when I was alot younger and a dumb bigot. My ma taught me to learn what songs were about. Which I did with the rap songs, which in turn helped me grow past my racism and realize how fucked the world is and that the color of my brother's skin doesn't matter.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I think that you and I could have been very good friends in real life. I went through my bigotry phase because it was just everywhere around me. Escaped through music and food. A playlist that goes from Sabbath to AIC to Mark Lanegan to Black Pistol Fire to 21 Savage to BigXthaPlug to Whiskey Myers to Amigo the Devil. And that just scratches the surface. That doesn't even get into the 1920s folk blues or 50s jazz and soul. Pretty much the only thing I won't listen to is Nashville country.

Just grabbed a couple albums from the Tejon Street Corner Thieves the other day - good stuff! I'll have to give those other bands a listen as well!

I love his voice. I'm no singer but I sing in my car, no matter whose in it, and I feel I can nail his songs the best.

The song Demons and the song Whiskey hit me in my core.

Both, and I know this is gonna sound dumb, but my addiction to weed and rage. I grew up in a very violent house. We didn't talk things out, we fought, even if we were wrong. It's addicting to have that level of rage. Seeing red, being out of your body. One day like 6 yrs ago I heard Demons. With demons, it made think about how I was letting my rage become me and run my life

I was riding home by myself from Tifton to Valdosta. I broke down crying driving on back roads at night cause I felt the song in my heart. Then Whiskey a while after, and it made me see how much I was relying on weed to mask my emotions. I still smoke. But it's a lot less and I am open to myself and anyone who does something to affect(?) my emotions.

Then like I said, the new song oh my god. Boy. My mama having cancer. She raised me. She believes in God, and I don't. It got me to thinking that maybe I don't know and that all this has happened and will happen and if there is a god, we don't know anything about them, so why make assumptions? Just feel the grass grow between your toes.

Whew. Sorry brother/sister, I got to running my fingers and couldn't stop.

Hey man, I'm glad you're able to have some honest introspection whatever the methods used to get there. Never be apologetic about sharing genuine emotions in a healthy way, life's too short.

I grew up in an angry household too, I was the primary inheritor of my abusive father's anger. My father lost his family because he couldn't control his emotions, and watching that happen is a big part of the reason I mastered my anger after some missteps in my youth.

You're not wrong in how you describe it, just being angry and letting loose is addictive in a way. I'm grateful I had people supporting me as I learned how to break the cycle, I hope you've got a support circle just as strong as mine was.

As for all you're going through and what your mom is dealing with, I'm sending you a big brotherly hug over the internet, I wish you nothing but the best. If you ever need someone to lend and ear and talk to, please don't be a stranger and drop me a DM.

"Red dirt" specifically refers to a region straddling the Red River, including parts of Oklahoma and Texas. The soil in the region is actually red. But the musical area is much larger than the geological area.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 9 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

Just listened to the Cocaine and Abel song.

This band needs to be famous.

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

The beggars guild by Road kill ghost choir is nother emotional song I feel.

And Goodnight Texas- Hurry things along. This song got me to quit smoking cigs.

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Hey, I'm glad you liked it! My first song from him was "Dahmer does hollywood."

[–] tiriel@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Amigo the Devil is a hell of a live show. If you ever have the chance to see them, I highly recommend it. The lead singer has some great stage presence. For as grim as the songs can be, the whole show was fairly wholesome as well.

[–] Fluffy_Ruffs@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Rant away, man. Music you love is worth being passionate about.

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Thank you my friend, it's giving me butterflies that y'all liked the songs and hearing others talk about their love for the music.

Recent research suggests it's cocaine that makes someone enjoy jazz

Yea Heroin makes you really fucking good at grunge

And doing heroin

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 8 points 10 hours ago

I'm the man in the box

And great at headshots.

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 hours ago

I finally figure out jazz.

The musician plays the instrument in such a way that the listener wants to take it away.

Easy.

Addiction research I'd assume. For the purpose of medical research rats are assumed to be tiny humans you can experiment on.

[–] protist@retrofed.com 4 points 5 hours ago

They state right there at the beginning that they're studying how social cues impact addiction. That knowledge has real potential to impact substance abuse treatment modalities.

As an aside, the "how did that get funded" joke is a common right-wing trope to dismiss or undermine any science they don't like, so I'd recommend in the future you avoid it
