I have a huge huge list of places to go and festivals I still wish to attend (hopefully in my near retirement) and one of them is MusicFest Steamboat out there in Colorado. We heavily support it on here along with a ton of other festivals even though we haven’t got to physically attend….yet. I am slowly building my future and my hopefully soon retirement, so I can run this website all the time.
I watched as many videos as I could find about this event and I loved to talk to others about it like a fellow I met online from Georgia Red Dirt Music and some folks I met out west as well. But hey one band you’re going to hear a LOT about this year are the the Droptines, as they release their new album “Drought Flower” on April 3rd.
This video up above is the song called “Army Green” from their self titled album in 2024 and also from that same channel he posted one by another name you will be hearing about very soon William Clark Green, who also has a new album coming up in 2 days called “Watterson Hall”, which I am overly excited about.
On that video there he played the song “Anymore” which he co wrote with Max Stalling and Zane Williams and you can find this song on his 2022 album “Baker Hotel”, honestly it is one of my middle favorite albums of his but a good album nonetheless.
This festival is widely known as the Superbowl of Red Dirt Country Music and it is nothing short of amazing and full of legends of it’s own genre like this man here Roger Creager. He played one of the outdoor stages and even thought it was cold and snowing like crazy, they still played songs like “The Everclear Song” with Kevin Fowler and more. That song is from his very first 1998 album called “Having Fun All Wrong”.
I have always kind of liked that 2015 beach album called “Gulf Coast Time” and it has the song called “Wanna Wanna Bar” which is enjoyable. I love the chorus in this song and he also drew songs from his 2014 album called Road Show, and there was a video from one last band I found on here and was…..
RECKLESS KELLY!
Not too long ago Joshua and I went to see Reckless Kelly at the Ryman here in Nashville and they were supposedly going to retire or slow down and I am not really sure what happened on that avenue however they did in fact play a terrific set here this year, with songs like their cover of Joe Ely song “Settle For Love” on the album called “Dig All Night”.
They played a bunch of their classic lineup here on this video like their song “Wicked Twisted Road” from the almighty banger of an album with the same name in 2005, which also boasted the song “Seven Nights in Eire” and another song called “What’s Left of my Heart” from the Last Frontier album.
From their double album called “Bulletproof” they played the song called “Ragged as the Road I’m On” and a few others before they closed up with my favorite called Crazy Eddie’s Last Hurrah”. You know I have indeed spent a lot of time on groups and all that to find out more and I may update this one sometime in the future.
