Advent : Dec 5th 🎺

The trumpet can be found in the brass section of any orchestra 🤓 but no orchestral or jazz today just some English folk riffing on the word brass, with a tale of lost love & the brazen Irene 💔

Not the most obvious connection between Bob and Jamaica, but this album from 1983 seen by many as a comeback album features arguably the best rhythm section to come from Jamaica

MARTYN JOSEPH
LAST NIGHT I HEARD AMERICA

song.link/s/0RqSET7k9C...

You don't board Paul Simon's
Pittsburgh Greyhound anymore
Or take Tom Waits Springsteen ride
To the Jersey shore
Or walk with Gram Parsons
Down the streets of Baltimore
Last night I lost America
A country of before

BACKSTAGE PASS
JOHNNY CASH

Country Cash passing judgement on young Willie’s after parties 😂🙌🚬🥃

There were wackoes

and would-be's

All with a backstage pass to the Willie Nelson Show 🤠

You say that everything sounds the same

There's no excuses, my friend
