saw them open for the Truckers years ago.. they're quite talented.. and they're from in and around the Shoals.. but besides being from the south, I can take 'em or leave 'em.

Jason Isbell won Record of the Year last night at the Americana Music Awards..

(hint - it's an awards show where actual musicians are given awards based on their musicianship and songwriting)..

there isn't a more deserving person at the moment..

indeed.. if all you know of any (real) band is their "hits", you don't know much about the band.

this one really sent me down the rabbit hole.

So...my boys are watching TV and I hear this jam come on. It sounds like a song from the early 80's and even though its "familiar" I don't recognize it. So I pop over to the TV to see what they are watching. Its Teen Titans (cartoon show). So whatever. I make a mental note to google that song down later on.

weeks go by and I finally do the googling... youtube has it and its by a band called "B.E.R."...I'm like, okaaaay that doesn't ring a bell. I guess I missed them from back in the day. So lets check out "B.E.R." on itunes store and see what other deep tracks of theirs I can dig into for an 80's fix. Nope. Only song from B.E.R. is The Night Begins To Shine. Now I feel duped because I'm realizing they just made the song solely for the Teen Titans episode. Start searching the interwebs to find out more about this mysterious B.E.R. band. Finally after lots of digging I find out these are the guys behind it:

http://www.frankeneaband.com/ which turns out is a not-so-bad group when playing their real stuff. What are you listening to right now? 502811600

and the B, E, and R are just the last initials of the guys playing the song.

pretty cool - and I dig their sound.

kinda reminds me of the Squidbillies show on Adult Swim. The show, a) is hysterical - especially if you grew up in the mountains of the rural south. It's like a family reunion.. and b), they actually have some good music on it and some bands I like/know have sort of made cameos on it. Drive By Truckers, Jason Isbell played a preacher not to long ago, Lucinda Williams music has been on.

here's Jason as the new preacher in town.. gotta love the "Amen, Jesus"! followed by a shotgun blast.. What are you listening to right now? 502811600
