New music.

For those of you who know me, but don't know my band, The Weakest Suit, please check it out. I've got an album worth of songs up here on MFT now, and I'm very happy to be here. When Jeb started this site, I was able to help donate a lot of other people's music that I had collected and loved for years to help fill out the archive.

A Summer of Songwriting: Prologue

Most of the songs are live acoust… Continue

ELIZABETH COOK, VULGAR BOATMEN at Spencer's Stadium Tavern
December 5, 2009 from 8pm to 11pm
Here’s that rarest of comodities, alt-country that matters. Nashville’s Elizabeth Cook comes across as a true and natural Queen of the Honky Tonks. Her big twang-heavy vocals (squarely in the tradition of heroes Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton) are ...
