Well rested and well fed, that’s how I roll people. It keeps me on my A Game
\nand that’s how I do this job as well as I can.
\nIt’s my passion, my partying hard days are dwindling slowly down. Don’t get me wrong
\nI’ll have some beers but I cannot go wild no more like they can..and watching them
\nis fun. By Sunday morning I saw some bodies dragging around but still having the time
\nof their lives.<\/p>\n

Matt Woods<\/a> HOLY SHIT what can I say? Honestly how
\ncan one man be this real? I mean you can look at him and tell he has suffered in life.
\nThis man doesn’t need to sing about how “Country” he is….he just IS.<\/p>\n

He opened his set “With Love From Brushy Mountain” and he had a lot of stories
\nto tell us people. I think he is one of the handful chosen to be called “Legend”
\non day by my Grandchildren..he has that demeanor about him.<\/p>\n

He played a new song he called “Bedsheets” and “Ain’t No Living”..
\nNow next he played one that came with a story about where he came from.
\nI found some really good songs this weekend and THIS is one of my top 3.
\nThis song painted a really awesome picture…because a song is paint and your
\nmind is a canvas and you gotta let the singer just color your world.<\/p>\n

“Snack Bar Man And The Ten Pin Priest”..no shit ask him to play it when you
\ngo see him. It’s about an old theater and a bowling alley in a small town.<\/p>\n

Adam Lee<\/a> is a deep voiced young man that
\njoined him for a duet they have called “Bass And Trouble” which is another good song
\nI heard this weekend.
\nThey played another duet from WW II that Waylon And Willie Nelson released in 1982
\ncalled “Write Your Own Songs”.<\/p>\n

The young lady he had with him named Hannah Rae played a pretty good fiddle
\nwith him on a song I think was called “Liberty Bell” I’m pretty sure I recognized
\nit as that one.<\/p>\n

He closed his set with “Port St. Lucie” and “Deadman’s Blues”
\nI’m going to say this..he has some well written songs and I would
\ntruly pay to see him perform anytime.<\/p>\n

The next band I went to see was in stage 3 and I saw them during the
\nMuddy Roots booth in Nashville if you’ll remember my visit to the
\nTomato Art Festival I ran into these guys and wanted to make sure I delved
\na little deeper into their set this time.<\/p>\n

Richie Owens And The Farm Bureau<\/a> are a band actually from Nashville.
\nThese guys all have a VERY exciting and historical background and Mr. Richie and I had
\na really fun and enlightening conversation about Country Music History.
\nI wished he could have seen the Glade City Rounders with me and noticed the Ambrose Gaines
\nsong they played..cause that line of history is what we was talking on.<\/p>\n

In a tent full of mud on an overcast day (according to Mr. Richie I suffered through their set)
\nbut honestly I enjoy their set and their band.
\nAnd honestly I’m not quite sure if ‘She Overruns My Heart” was first I got there
\nand they was already playing. I lingered around stage 1 a little bit and saw several friends
\non the way to stage 3.<\/p>\n

“Muddy Roots Flood” is the second song about Muddy Roots I know of next to
\nthe song the Urban Pioneers have about the festival.
\nThe next three songs I did indeed remember from that HOT day on Woodland St.
\n‘Goin Downtown” “Rolled And Tumbled” and also “Sticks And Stones” which is my
\npersonal favorite one they do.<\/p>\n

“Franklin Town” is a song off their CD and you can pick it up off their website
\njust click up there on their name in the purple and buy it.
\nTell them I sent you!
\nThey closed their set with “Rye Whiskey” which in my opinion although it is
\nperformed a little different was first performed around the 1930’s by
\nTex Ritter.<\/p>\n

I sat in the Muddy Roots tent for lunch (Jason said I could loiter) and was listening
\nto Left Lane Cruiser tear up stage 2..They got a DAMN good album out on
\nHillgrass Bulebilly Records.<\/p>\n

There was just so much music to soak in, SO MANY new finds and discoveries.
\nAnd a few that I kick myself in the butt for missing out on like the man
\nthat will start out Day 3 Part 2!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
