There is a certain connection that occurs with musicians who have shared the stage together. They share their songs, they share their time, they share their laughs… and they share a drink. There is also the connection that occurs when a great song resonates with the listener, as if the song was written specifically for them or about them. Hard hitting songs with their timeless lyrics, catchy melodies, interesting tones and clever arrangements.
The Lockdown List, a collection of eleven songs by some of the world’s finest songwriters, was recorded during a year that will (painfully) resonate through our history. With that said, the songwriting prowess of legends Guy Clark, Rodney Crowell, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Bobbie Joe Gentry, Tom T. Hall, Billy Joe Shaver, Hank Snow and the incomparable John Prine are all on display here. Other timeless classics include “Will The Circle Be Unbroken” and the Andy Griffith inspired “There Is A Time” by the Dillards. We also took a pull at Ketch Secor’s (Old Crow Medicine Show) “Brushy Mountain Conjugal Trailer”.
We hope that you enjoy The Lockdown List.
