I love quite a bit of the cowpunk from the '80's, which is a big difference from the cowpunk of today. It's hard for me to pinpoint a true favorite LP, especially with bands like Jason & the Scorchers, Green On Red, the Long Ryders, Beat Rodeo, etc. However, one I do love to spin (and drink to) is "Long Gone Dead" by Rank & File. In case you didn't know, they were originally the punk band the Dils, but brothers Chip and Tony Kinman pursued the roots and country music route...Last I heard, they were in the band Cowboy Nation.

Here's a couple I like:

Cowboy in Flames by The Waco Brothers (This is a Chicago band though about half their members are Brit expatriots, including Jon Langford of The Mekons.

I agree. They're a cover band. They do it well, but I'd like to hear some oriignal music from them. I saw them at Ink & Iron & they were very lackluster. I saw them a few years back at Spaceland & they were much better.

I liked 'em a bit at first - then I got "Songs we Taught the Detroit Cobras" with all the original versions so now I don't need 'em anymore. Kudos to them for picking great songs to cover though.

Maybe they're better live, I haven't had the opportunity to see them.

As cover bands go I'm much more into the Del Moroccos.

...really dig their 'Village of Love' 7" and Mink Rat Or Rabbit LP, unfortunately never had the chance to see them on stage.

As a fan of your show, the hillbilly ones are definately my favorites! Always lookin' forward to more of these!

Kopper: The Chesterfield Kings were amazing as well at the show that I saw. Strangely the first time I saw the supersuckers with The Hellacpoters in 1999, I wasn't impressed, and it wasn't until later that I started to enjoy them.

I saw them in St. Louis on that tour with the Charms and NY Dolls and I thought they really (super)sucked! I remember seeing 'em back in the mid-'90s when they were still GOOD. I dunno what happened to them, but they really went flat after their third or fourth album. Oh, and the Chesterfield Kings stole the show that night, too.

My two cents. ;)

Thanks, Adam, glad you like the show! Can't wait to see what you've got cookin'! Keep me posted!

Many apologies garagepunkers for putting my hand up for this awhile back -- real life got in the way of dreams --  I'm very glad to see an Oz show up and running.

Thank you! For the photo and the comp! 

Downloading right now.

J.R. Williams does a lot of cool trashy comps over on his FLICKR page. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jrpopartz/ This is the first all-country one I've seen. He's a cool artist too, in the horror-comics style. His work graces my desktops of both my laptop and my office computer. Gonna download now.

With way to much time and effort i figured it out.

I just a got a new android phone and I'm having problems downloading apps. It just says it downloading but, never does. I don't know much about these kinda things. Anyone have a solution? I'd love to get this shit working.
