And because it's a great piece that connects Welles to other cowards-- Bryan, Adcock-- I also want to re-up @rachelcholst.bsky.social's piece from a minute ago: rainbowrodeomag.com/coward-count...
Coward Country
What do Zach Bryan, Gavin Adcock, and Jesse Welles have in common? They're all cowards. Welcome to the age of Coward Country.

On this day in 1938, J.J. Cale was born. A quiet giant of the Tulsa sound, his laid-back groove and songwriting shaped everyone from Neil Young to Eric Clapton.

Happy Birthday Jim Messina! This session guitarist was a member of Buffalo Springfield Poco and Loggins & Messina. Poco's 1st album literally picked up the pieces after the dissolution of Buffalo Springfield. This 1969 LP is a shining example of Country-Rock prevalence during this time #CountrySky

25 years ago today, the 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' soundtrack was released. Produced by T-Bone Burnett, it revived Americana and bluegrass for a new generation and became a modern classic all its own.

My friend Tony Drewry kindly shared this shot that he took of Butch Hancock as Butch played his harmonica at the Tolbert Chili Cookoff in Terlingua last month. Butch, perhaps the greatest Texas songwriter of them all, was onstage and Tony at the back of the crowd with a 400mm lens. So evocative!
