Wayne "Bear" Sauls, was born in 1948 and by the age of thirteen, the beginning of the sixties, he was performing professionally. In his career, he has had the opportunity to share the stage with such greats as the Allman Brothers, Charlie Daniels, Warren Haynes, David Allan Coe, and the Nighthawks, to name a few. Bear is one of those fortunate musicians who lived, played, and survived through the...

In cargo pants, Chuck Taylors, and a floppy black cap, Coe doesn't look the part of Country Icon--more like a pacing, angry, outlaw Santa Claus with a thin braid of white hair down to his ass.
My wife is in Rwanda at the moment. Or maybe Uganda. She’s on track for all seven continents in 2008; with luck, I’ll get six. The big news of the week is that Emmylou Harris has released a new album. My wife and I generally have different musical tastes, but we’re both nearly [...]
The Cabooze: 6:00 gates $25 (outdoors) In an odd choice of venues if there ever was one, Gogol Bordello will be playing at The Cabooze tonight.

Michael Blowhard writes: Dear Blowhards -- Yahmdallah celebrates some dirty songs. I'll humbly add this filthy David Allan Coe classic to Yahmdallah's list. If you're at work, use headphones. Best, Michael...

(I recommend it to anyone interested in the evolution of radio, even to people unfamiliar with WSM.) The station [...]
I just received one of my six million daily e-mails from political causes and candidates and the title of it was "Obama's Elitism Has Blue Dog Dems Howling." I'm confused. I'm from a long line of dog-related Democrats (who switched...
First, a little history. By the late 1960’s, the Nashville establishment had a good thing going. Country music was changing and becoming more and more appealing to mainstream America, and a lot of country artists were becoming major crossover stars. Not everybody catered to that style of the music, but songwriters and performers who wanted to [...]
I just watched Heartworn Highways last night. It’s a great music film, a snapshot of the mid-70’s Nashville and Austin outlaw music scene. It features Rodney Crowell, Guy Clark, David Allan Coe, Steve Young, a very young Steve Earle, and Townes Van Zandt (among a lot of others). In this clip, Townes has just got [...]
David Allan Coe and Steve Goodman wrote the Perfect Country and Western Song. Guy Kawasaki has written the Perfect Guide to Sucking Up. If any of you think you are "above" sucking up or that you are "too good" to suck up to others, then hooray for you. The rest...
A few years ago, I pointed out that country music had an all-of-the-sudden fascination with singing about babies. Then… it was kids. The new trend in country music is singing about other country artists. You can pass your own judgment on the issue (or not care about it either way) - but I think it's [...]
PANAMA CITY, Fla. -- In a sea of bronzed and buff spring breakers setting out to blow off a little steam, Kenny Chesney blended in perfectly with the beach crowd during a free concert at the Spinnaker Beach Club and Paradise Grill here Wednesday night (Ma
When I was a little boy my dad usually had Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Charlie Pride, Roger Miller or various other country singer's album turning on the big console. At times I listened to country music in high school and...
