UPDATED! The Tonk of the Town and the archives have been updated. Music slows down this time of year so this is two weeks of stuff, plus digging back into the folder of things I missed or never got to. With all the year-end times coming up, this might be the last update until January. Nevertheless, there’s 50 quality tracks in here to keep you going until I post the year in review.

Madison, WI. Long gone, but while it seemed antiquated in the mid 90s, it’d probably do well enough these days. Then again, it was pretttttttty dumpy.

After an extended hiatus, the weekly playlist is back. If you’re new here, I find new and recent indie country releases on Fridays, throw them in a playlist, listen to it over the weekend, edit accordingly and publish it for you to hear, share and enjoy.
It always starts off with something classic, as a nod to where we’ve been and ends with a track by Willie Nelson because I could probably make these for week in, week out for 20 years and never run out of songs.
While January is typically a slow month, it’s off to a pretty good start. About 2/3 was released in the last 30 days, which is all up front, and the last 1/3 is from Oct/Nov, when I last published a list. I’ve got couple irons in the fire right now regarding getting back on the air, but nothing completely baked yet. In the meantime, give this a listen and let me know what you like.
Huge week for new releases. After kicking it off with Sammi Smith (because why let Tyler get ALL the spotlight), the next 22 songs are either singles or tracks from new albums. Hat tip to Paige Plaisance for Song of the Week, with plenty of good stuff to follow
Of course, we have to pour one out for Charlie Robison who left us way too soon. The man could tell a story, that’s for dang sure.
Filling the rest of the show out with recent releases and ending with a Willie track from the upcoming bluegrass album. Pure coincidence that I ended the show with the original version last week.

Banger of a playlist this week.
Kicking it off with a classic from Connie Smith.
Eight brand new releases including Nightingale Rodeo, Tony Hannah, Lindsay Lou, Willi Carlisle and more.
In honor of Labor Day, a handful of protest songs.
Plus, lots of recent releases.
A bunch of artists making their playlist debut.
Also on YouTube
Enjoy!
Is this thing on? Been a lonnnnnng while, but I want to test the waters to see if there's an audience for country music on Tumblr 2023.
I've been making a weekly playlist in lieu of a radio show for a couple months now. Figure that'd be a good place to start.
If you like country music that's outside the mainstream, check out this playlist. It's full of new and recent releases. I kick it off with a classic country song and send it off with Willie Nelson. In between you'll find music from artists making country music in their own way with their own style. While the music changes every week, the playlist stays in the same spot. Plus, there's an archive where I retire the old playlists.
If you find something you like, let me know and give the artists a follow on instagram.

Much obliged.

Whenever someone starts talking to me about music that isn’t country.
I mentioned this a week or so ago, but as a reminder... Me and some radio pals made an aftershow to go with Ken Burns Country Music series. It’s called Holding Things Together and it’s available on all the podcast platforms. (Apple, Spotify, Stitcher) Additionally, Gimme Country is running a marathon of shows 1-4 on Sunday leading into our 5th episode. If you want to know more about what you’ve seen so far or just LOVE country music, give us a shot.
