rwake - woodson lateral

Summary

the woodson lateral is a haunted road through a woodland in arkansas.
think a lot of Southern Metal is lowest common denominator cheese, but these are the real stuff, actually bring a sense of place to it. can feel the humidity coming off the music. that wild slide guitar over the buildup at the end is magic. been waiting on a new album for 12 years now and it seems like it might be out soon.

Jim Johnston - Stone Cold Steve Austin Entrance Music

Iris DeMent - Our Town

perfection. warm like the best country, but a voice and a spare lyricism gilt with the cold cut of an unsentimental world. lovely bit of violin too.

A real beauty. On and off the last week I’ve had the melody in my head but couldn’t remember the artist or title, just gave me a lovely ding in my brain to find it here

Pharoah Sanders - Medley: Aum-Venus-Capricorn Rising

put on some nice headphones and let your mind wander

the drums and double bass are a warm, rocky landscape, the piano’s some lush flora, Pharoah’s sax is your soul or something

if you let yourself just feel the initial skronk, the ensuing melodic parts will be like… idk, some water? some nice water that you want. fragrant flowers. delicious fruit?
