When you are struggling for something to write, which is often the case, it is often good to visit other blogs
Hence my last two posts with have been inspired by visits to Brian and Jez' places.
Brian is again today's source of inspiration albeit in a slightly more obtuse way. The way my mind works his recent featuring of The Elvis Brothers got me thinking it was high time that The Cash Brothers graced these pages.
From Toronto brothers Andrew and Peter Cash were part of the alt country scene in the first few years of the Millennium
These two stonkers are taken from 2001's How Was Tomorrow on Zoe Records which is pretty much a re-release of their 1999 album Raceway.
No relations to the great man as far as I am aware
The Cash Brothers - Raceway
The Cash Brothers - Nebraska
You took the words right out of my mouth, CC. I can't count how often I sat in front of my notebook having no idea what to write and I also take the inspirations from other bloggers. Nice tune by the way. Never heard of them before and I have to investigate for more.
ReplyDeleteOh CC, I have the opposite problem in that my long list of ideas for "posts pending" has reached 73 in number and that's without the 48 posts needed to complete my American Odyssey. Maybe I'm just not that discerning about what I write about but at least it looks as if it will take me to retirement age and beyond!
ReplyDeleteDidn't read this properly for a start and didn't think Jez had written about this pair, then it clicked. Another new one on me so thanks for posting.
73! That's impressive.
DeleteYou could sell some of your ideas!
You haven't seen the ideas!
DeleteWe have all been there CC. I don't know how you daily bloggers do it. Nice tunes today.
ReplyDeleteIn view of the fact I may have unwittingly taken your 50 states and 50 songs idea, how about joining me in a virtual trip round America? - Your picks would be very different to mine no doubt!
ReplyDeleteI would need to look out my passport and restrain from insulting the president
ReplyDeleteThe latter may be a bridge too far
Hmm - Yes my timing for this series has not been great but for me its all about the geography and the songs. Trying hard not to think about what is going on in The West Wing at the moment!
DeleteThere's no such thing as plagiarism for honest souls. As someone said above you're 'inspired by' a reference or as I prefer to say, you've been nudged in a certain direction. As far as The Cash Brothers are concerned I liked their Nebraska track but admit I was attracted to it purely on the tenuous basis that I've recently watched the film Nebraska starring Bruce Dern. So, great film and half decent track. Thanks!
