Traveller is the highly anticipated Mercury Records Nashville solo debut album from rising superstar Chris Stapleton. This Kentucky native first got his start a decade ago as the lead singer of the bluegrass band, THE STEELDRIVERS. Stapleton is born 1978 and is an American country and bluegrass musician that is already a world-renowned songwriter, Stapleton has enjoyed six number-one songs including the five-week number-one "Never Wanted Nothing More" recorded by Kenny Chesney, "Love's Gonna Make It Alright" recorded by George Strait, and "Come Back Song" recorded by Darius Rucker. As a songwriter, over 150 of Stapleton's songs have appeared on albums by such artists as Adele, Luke Bryan, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley and Dierks Bentley. He has co-written with notable artists like Vince Gill, Peter Frampton and Sheryl Crow.
In 2015, Stapleton released his debut album Traveller. It reached number one on the Billboard 200. Stapleton won the 2015 Country Music Association Award for Best Male Vocalist, New Artist of the Year, and Album of the Year for Traveller. He received four Grammy Award nominations for the 2016 ceremony, including Album of the Year.
Recorded at Nashville's historic RCA Studio A (with additional production at The Castle and Blackbird Studio), Traveller was produced by Dave Cobb (Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell) and recorded by Vance Powell (Jack White). In addition to renditions of Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove's "Tennessee Whiskey" and Don Sampson's "Was It 26," the album features twelve original songs, including fan-favorite "Sometimes I Cry."
The album is an old-school country record mixed with Southern rock. Tracks on the album features electric guitar, mandolin, and acoustic guitar. "The Devil Named Music" exclaims the hard life on the road, "Might As Well Get Stoned" features resignation lyrics, and "Sometimes I Cry" is a blues song. "Daddy Doesn't Pray Anymore" shrouds reflections about his father in the language of religious backsliding.
This is a damn good record that works for any Southern rock, Country music lovers.
Stapleton wrote or co-wrote all but two of the album's 14 tracks. The album features a blues-influenced cover of George Jones' single "Tennessee Whiskey", and Charlie Daniels' "Was It 26," written by Don Sampson.
Today's tune "Tennessee Whiskey" is the title of a country song written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove. It was originally recorded by American country music artist David Allan Coe for his album of the same name. The song was covered by American country music artist George Jones, whose version was released in August 1983 as the third single from his album Shine On. Coe joined Jones onstage to sing a chorus on the song at the inaugural Farm Aid in 1985. It remained a mainstay in Jones' live set, with the singer often substituting the name of whatever city or town he was in for "Tennessee" in the second chorus.
The clip is from when Stapleton joins “CBS This Morning: Saturday” to perform “Tennessee Whiskey” on Saturday Sessions.
Sunday, Movie time? Why not take a look at the Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey", set in the deep south during the 1930's. O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) is Tune Of The Days movie tip for today.
In Mississippi in 1937, three escaped convicts on the run. They are trying to get home to their families and want to find the swag that Everett (George Clooney) claiming to have hidden after his latest coup. On the long journey through the American South they experience many adventures. The forms include the music group Soggy Bottom Boys in the film gets a huge hit with the traditional folk song Man of Constant Sorrow. The somewhat far-fetched prior the image is said to have been the gospel group The Blind Boys of Alabama. From the brothers Joel and Ethan Coen, inter alia, had the idea for the blind radio station owner and his question about the group was "colored," which The Blind Boys of Alabama was.
The voices of the Soggy Bottom Boys were provided by Dan Tyminski (lead vocal on "Man of Constant Sorrow"), Nashville songwriter Harley Allen, and the Nashville Bluegrass Band's Pat Enright. The three won a CMA Award for Single of the Year and a Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals, both for the song "Man of Constant Sorrow".
O Brother, Where Art Thou? Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. Based on Homer's epic Odyssey and movies with ten cents in his pocket from 1941. The soundtrack includes well-known country and bluegrass artists like Alison Krauss, Gillian Welch and Emmylou Harris.
Tommy, the lead guitarist of the Soggy Bottom Boys, is an intentional reference to the legend of Delta Blues artist Tommy Johnson, who claimed to have sold his soul to the devil in return for blues fame.

The construction is proceeding in "Slottsskogen" and it begins to take shape, now it's officially the third day I'm here but for Tune Of The Day, it's day two. Today we serve a band playing at Azalea, Friday 14:00
The Avett Brothers, A little recap: North Carolina, Beard, two brothers (Seth and Scott) and a friend (Bob), melancholy and euphoria in a world of bluegrass music go hand in hand with punk. Yes, somewhere where Hank Williams breed children with Neil Young as the rebellious fashion press in the Rocket To Russia by Ramones to distance themselves from their parents. However, such a father like son - The Avett Brothers are all that and then some.
The Rick Rubin-produced album "I and Love and You" touched and created mess on the U.S. Billboard chart. Perhaps not surprisingly, since we already knew from before, what the three men could achieve. But like a mad man was of course delighted when the list in general tend to consist of pouring and re-pouring.
Here is some mixed pictures from today!
Todays tune ”Talk On Indolence” is a manic piece and is taken from the album "Live, Vol. 3” it’s a 2010 live album.

Originally taken from the album "Four Thieves Gone: The Robbinsville Sessions” was released in 2006.
Today at work i needed something that would thrill me up a bit, tried to find something on Spotify that was groovy and finally ended up with the Crowes and notice that it was a long time ago i heard Chris Robinson vocals, have been listening to the album "Before the Frost...Until the Freeze" an album that was recorded before a live audience at Levon Helm's Woodstock, NY studio, The Barn in late February and early March, 2009. The album is full off American bluegrass and bluesy rock & roll country. Its a great album that's for sure have to be part off my record collection. So for today i take a tune form the album for you folks.
The Black Crowes performing "Good Morning Captain" from their new double album "Before The Frost...Until The Freeze" on Letterman 9/1/09. Note Steve Gorman's cool new drumhead! Enjoy!
