Twanging Tuesday # 82

Today's twangy music comes from a band called Drunken Prayers, a band formed by Morgan Geer, located in Oregon, Portland. The first song, Hellraiser, is one of those laid back country forward driven songs with a bit of twangy guitar. The rest is just a laid back country based ballads that would work well in a smoky bar on Friday night after a few beers. Nothing that would turn the world into a better way - just music for BBQ.

By the way, the cover is designed by Jon Langford.

Delta Dawn

Alexander Harvey, not to be mistaken by the Scottish singer, released in the early 70s a song that was covered by a many artists. It is just a simple ballad of a  of a woman that could be loved when she was able to. It is a classic of the age when country rock was getting to our ears. Not the simple, suffering singers that tells us about love gone by or got wasted. It was in these days this kind of music came to us and was accepted by artists like Kris Kristofferson, Poco, Flying Burrito Brothers and The Band. I'm not the expert in this genre but there are so many singers that have a remarkable voice that make refines every song.
