You might be familiar with Bobby Mackey as the owner of Bobby Mackey’s Music World in Wilder, KY which is listed as one of America’s most haunted locations and has been featured on shows such as Ghost Adventures. Aside from owning one of the afterlife’s biggest night clubs, Mackey makes some great country music himself. If you’re familiar with the Ghost Adventures episodes which featured his establishment, you might also know that his biggest hit was a haunting tune called “Johanna” which was featured on an album by the same name. Mackey is back with his latest release titled I’ll Go Down Swinging which is a follow-up to 2013’s Country Music Lives On. This new record continues Mackey’s tradition of making straight forward classic sounding country records. Let’s dig a bit deeper into this one.
The album kicks off with a rocking tune called “I’ll Go Down Swinging” that puts you right back into the days of the country music outlaws and sounds like it would have fit with the best of Waylon or Merle any day. I love the honky tonk piano throughout this track. Another favorite is “What They Call Country”. This song takes current country radio to task for not playing real country music anymore claiming that current “country” singers stole the name of country music. It’s a song that longs for the days of classic country music.
Continuing on with the theme of longing for classic country music is the tune “ The Great Haggard Songs”. Bobby Mackey takes the style of a slower Merle Haggard tune to reminisce on his passing and the music he left us. It’s a another great tribute in the line of great Haggard tribute songs. Finally, “The Barnyard Song” is a fun love song that uses barnyard animals for a play on words. I love the moment where the song even breaks the fourth wall. You get a sense that the song is very aware of itself and how cheesy it is.
Bobby Mackey proves that classic country music is not dead with this release I’ll Go Down Swinging. He makes some good traditional country music while at the same time reminiscing on days past. This album is available everywhere digitally and CDs are available at Bobby Mackey’s Music World.

Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Ana Egge will release her new album White Tiger via StorySound Records.White Tiger features nine originals and one John Hartford cover, and so amply displays Egge’s singularly articulate and affecting honesty and sensitivity as to once again deserve USA Today’s accolade, “[Ana] can write and sing rings around” her contemporaries.
Ana got bit by the music bug as a teenager, and having grown up with parents who were, as she describes, “motorcycle-riding hippie farmers” raising four children on a farm in North Dakota, Ana took matters into her own hands, building her own guitar and moving to Austin, TX to soak in the vibrant music scene. The striking depth and unusual maturity of her singing, playing, and songwriting got her noticed, and she recorded her debut album River Under the Road (1997) with the legendary western swing band Asleep At The Wheel. The following year, at only 19-years old, The Austin Music Awards named Ana “Best Singer/Songwriter” and “Best Folk Artist”.
Egge soon began hitting the road, opening for the likes of Iris DeMent, Shawn Colvin, and Ron Sexsmith. Later on she got to share the stage with John Prine, Sinead O’Connor, and Lucinda Williams who once said “Ana’s an exceptional songwriter, listen to the lyrics…[she’s] the folk Nina Simone!”
Over the ensuing years and eight subsequent albums, Ana has made good on her promising debut, going on to record full albums with The Stray Birds and The Sentimentals, and work with highly acclaimed producers such as Martin Terefe, Jason Mercer, Joel Plaskett, Stewart Lerman, and Steve Earle who’s said “Ana Egge’s songs are low and lonesome, big square-state noir ballads which she plays on a guitar she built with her own two hands and sings like she’s telling us her deepest, darkest secrets.”
Having lived in a small farmhouse on the North Dakota plains, a bus on the California Coast, and a hot springs commune in rural New Mexico, Egge’s family were always on the move, scraping together dimes and hand-me-downs in order to get by. “We were always the outsiders,” she says. “I was taught how to shoot a gun and how to enjoy alfalfa sprouts and tofu. I ran around barefoot and learned to ride a motorcycle when I was 5. I grew up with all the time and space in the world.”
Through these experiences, Ana learned that her life was truly hers to create. She became possessed by a self-determined sense of who she was and what she wanted to do and as a result, moved to Brooklyn by way of Austin, where she is now married raising a child. But Ana has never lost touch with the free-spirited childhood and Western landscape that formed her, and this questing spirit is everywhere manifest on White Tiger.
That open-hearted sense of adventure is especially evident in the communal music-making of the album, most notably in Ana’s collaboration with producer Alec Spiegelman (Cuddle Magic), whose contributions on reeds, keyboards, and vocals, together with his wind, string, and vocal arrangements, elegantly inform the whole. Other featured musicians include singer Anais Mitchell, guitarist Buck Meek (Big Thief), Billy Strings, drummer Robin MacMillan (Aoife O’Donovan), bassist Jacob Silver (Amy Helm, Joan As Police Woman), violinist Alex Hargreaves and violist Adam Moss (The Brother Brothers).
With that sweet sound of Haïti we’re getting more and more
in the good summer mood. So let’s do another one. I can’t
seem to tell you a whole lot about it. On Dorceant’s Records
and from 1982. probably an ode to Lionel Benjamin if I’m
not mistaking. Nice and mellow compas,
..partly in twoubadou style..
De stemming komt er steeds meer in te zitten met die lekkere
sound uit Haïti. Daarom nog maar zo’n fijn plaatje. Ik kan je er
niet veel zinvols over vertellen. Op Dorceant’s Records en uit
1982. Waarschijnlijk een ode aan Lionel Benjamin als ik het
goed heb. Lekker mellow compas, deels
in de twoubadou stijl..
