High Lonesome


Hi, my name is Blair and I love music. I also love musicians who love music.

And I love it when musicians love a certain song/band/album/lyric enough to name check it in one of their very own songs...I can think of no greater compliment. So this is a fine example of that. One of my favorite new bands, The Gaslight Anthem, giving a lyrical shout out to one of the seminal albums of my life, Counting Crows 'August And Everything After.'

    They also quoted Springsteen's "I'm on Fire" in that song. Sigh. So good.

    I, too, look to bands when I design the perfect society in my head. Bands that can tell an honest and meaningful story without sounding too "nose-in-the-air" are the types of bands I like to jam to. Check out Conflict in the Sky too. Their lyrics are pretty powerful and question a lot of the establishments that people rely on.
