"Indian Summer" Leads Autumn Playlist of New Music

Posted: September 22nd, 2009 at 1:47 pm  |  By: Craig Shelburne  

Brooks & DunnWhen I listened to Brooks & Dunn's #1's ... And Then Some last week, it was almost like time traveling. I vividly remember being in a parking lot in Hastings, Neb., waiting for my family's gigantic VCR to get fixed, and passing the time by listening to Brooks & Dunn's debut album for the first time -- on cassette. For the last two decades I've been following their musical career and I've seen them play more times than I can remember. So as they say goodbye with "Indian Summer," I'll welcome the first day of autumn with this playlist of new music, led by the dynamic duo and featuring other longtime favorites like Diamond Rio, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Rosanne Cash.

"Indian Summer," Brooks & Dunn
"Wherever I Am," Diamond Rio
"Tulsa Sounds Like Trouble to Me," Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
"Good Intent" (live on KCRW), Rosanne Cash
"Somedays the Song Writes You," Guy Clark
"Durang's Hornpipe," Adam Steffey
"Hand in Hand," Blue Mother Tupelo
"Finding You," Tom Russell
"Only the Night" (live), John Cowan
"Heartache and Stone," Monroe Crossing
"L.A. County Blues," the Band of Heathens
"Lonely Road," Mason Jennings
"Sugarcane," Michael Ford Jr. & Apache Relay
"Hearts Are Breaking Across Texas" (live), Aaron Watson

    A couple names I’m not familiar with, but Aaron Watson is one of the new young bucks keeping “REAL” Country Music alive.

    “Band of Heathens” NEW CD “One Foot in the Ether” is at #5 on this weeks AMA Chart. The Band of Heathens perform Americana/Roots Rock music with soul and substance. This supergroup has been compared to “The Band” and “The Eagles”.
