Everyone’s A Country Star

Now THATS country!So back when the Clap Your Hands Say Yeah first started getting all their press, Pitchfork wrote a track review for Home on Ice, which I find to be a great song. In that review they mentioned a Wilco influence and basically everyone lost their shit saying they don’t hear any Wilco in the band. Rightfully so I really don’t hear much Wilco at all, but there is a MAJOR country influence going on with the band, and most people will probably try to ignore it, since to this day alot of people when describing their favorite types of music will say “Anything, but country” which I find kind of nausiating. The same people will turn around and say they love Johnny Cash or even Wilco. I assume thats why anything that sounds remotely country tinged in the indie world gets compared to Wilco automatically, its safe, sayin its close to country will throw up Alan Jackson Confederate flags in peoples heads and immediatly turn them off. Anyway here is a song I found a few weeks ago from Alec Ounsworth webpage. Its called “Poor Humpty Dumpty” and it is absolute country closer to Gram Parsons than Jeff Tweedy. Also since I’m really big on indie artists covering Neil Young I will include a post of Alec’s eerie cover of “Everybody Knows This is Nowhere” which is pretty killer on its own. Thanks to Stereogum, and Philebrity for pointing me toward that one.
