Mind blowing.  Huge fan of Maiden growing up and finally saw them last year.  This proves their chops.

I mean... imagine doing this to Shout at the Devil or RATT or Whitesnake....

New Chris Stapleton music out this year with his single White Horse. As you would expect from Stapleton, it's raw, real, and amazing songwriting. Stapleton has perhaps the best voice in modern country music too.

Here is some non-Jason Isbell country music that I thoroughly enjoyed from 2023 and think are worth giving a listen to.

Perhaps my favorite non-Jason Isbell/Weathervanes song of 2023 was The Wild by Gabe Lee.

If you're into a modern honkytonk sound Mamma Coal's Dance Hall Crush is fantastic.

If you're into Outlaw Country then you have to give Cody Jinks' aptly named Outlaws and Mustangs a listen.

Margo Cilker's Lowland Trail is another fantastic song from 2023.

Easier and Harder by William Prince is a short, but sweet song from 2023 that I really enjoyed. it checks in at under 3 minutes, but is so good.

Saw the footage of Shane's funeral today. Nick Cave with a beautiful version of A Rainy Night In Soho. Nick Cave could sing the alphabet song and make it moving, but then when they closed with Glen Hansard and friends playing Fairytale Of NY - Shane's family got up and danced in the aisle...........it was a perfect ending. My allergies may have flared up at that moment. Yeah, yeah, it was allergies.

This was the song in my head when I woke up this morning

I don't know what it is, but there's definitely something going on upstairs.

Good for Lalo Salamanca. Or Simon from The Walking Dead. Your choice.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

One of my favorite shows on TV, Austin City Limits, with one of my favorite artists in music today, Jason Isbell, performing one of the best songs of 2023, King of Oklahoma. Yes, Isbell is country-ish but if you like good music, great songwriting, and incredible guitar playing, King of Oklahoma live on Austin City Limits is for you.

Woke up with this one in my head

 

[Motor City Sonics]

which lead to this song (and then to others because my head is like a radio on random and today its on a station that plays Nick Cave-type stuff)

This reminds me of Industrial from the late 80's:

Nitzer Ebb

Front 242

Front Line Assembly

Ministry

Nine Inch Nails... especially when Reznor really started to get into sound experimentation...

[Tigeraholic1]

One of the first cds I ever bought was Scarface, The Diary. This is fantastic.
