Songs that hit you in the feels

I'm surprised this one hasn't been shared yet. Morgan Wallen is the cover.



Jason Isbell is the song writer and original singer. The song is written about his struggle with addiction.

I love Steve Earl's music and his vast knowledge of music, but he's a raging liberal and a life fuckup, so sorry pal but I'm not going to take anything seriously from a guy that's been married 7 times, been a heroin addict, had a son die from an OD, and is a ex-con. Shut up and play Copperhead Road please.

Yep

I wore out three or four Steve Earl cassettes ,
And Springsteen too.

Love listening to
The music you create .

don’t want to hear about your politics.


Copperhead Road is a special song to me .
I grew up in rural Appalachia, my father was a park ranger / game warden , we lived inside the park that was 1200 acres of rugged mountains , we loved 5 miles from the nearest paved road.

and all the locals built their stills on the park property so they wouldn’t get caught with em on their own property.
They filmed Deliverance a few miles away from where we lived, my dad took us to watch the filming one day .

This was in the late 60s before any of the govt programs like welfare and food stamps etc .

My father just ignored the stills and kept driving because they weren’t hurting anything and most of em had no other way to earn money and feed their kids.


Nowdays you see a 8000 square foot house that cost a zillion dollars and wonder what kind of job they have that they can afford that kind of house .

That’s how the locals looked at us .
We were millionaires , because we had electricity and running water and a propane furnace .

I love this video and song
I love inna big city suburb now , but I’m a hillbilly through and through ,
These pictures show how things really looked back then .
The county I grew up in didn’t have a traffic light when I lived there .
The only incorporated town had the courthouse, hospital and school, and 900 residents in town , and about 8000 more in the rest of the county. Sheriff’s department had the sheriff and ONE deputy .

Now there’s a four lane going directly to Atlanta , a 24 hour Walmart , Home Depot , McDonald’s Arby’s chic fil a,
Houses and subdivisions everywhere that used to be farms and cow pastures


Just a couple of weeks ago I was trying to explain to a young new co worker what a volunteer fire department was .

They looked at me like I was an alien from another planet.


I guess the only thing worse than your home town getting paved over by new development is your home town drying up to nothing . My wife is from a small town in alabama and when NAFTA passed , Vanity Fair ,had their global headquarters in that town and several factories, VF owned playex bras, Lee jeans etc
The closed the corporate headquarters and moved them to Atlanta , and loaded the entire textile mill that was there onto rail cars and shipped it to Mexico.

It’s sad to drive through and see abandoned houses everywhere , abandoned burger kings and other fast food places with plywood over the windows and trees growing in the parking lot .

When her parents died and they had to sell the house in 2018, a huge 3/3 brick ranch on five acres with a 20x40 Shop .

It took 18 months to sell it , for $85k

I grew to hate it, it was suddenly discovered again in the mid 2000s in Denver and people were trying to get played every hour

I actually don't like the song all that much and not just because it's depressing. But unfortunately it hits pretty close to me because my older brother loved muscle cars and trucks but had an accident that put him in a wheelchair. He still owned and drove a few after that but he could never drive what he wanted because he was restricted by always needing room for the chair and always needing to have an auto. The only way he could enjoy a 4 speed after that was to make somebody else drive him. Always broke my heart. Which is why I dug the Camaro in my avatar out of storage finally and it is getting the 5 speed he would of wanted. Been three years and it is finally almost driveable.
