Daily Jam - It's Nothing to Me

The old country song "It's Nothing to Me," about a guy in a bar whose told to mind his own business by a another guy making some poor decisions has been recorded by a slew of different artists, even winding up in the hands of Lee Hazlewood both early and late in his career.  But today, we're going ot listen to the Harry Johnson version taken from the "God Less America" compilation album that unearthed a ton of old, obscure tracks for our listening pleasure.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Found Vinyl: God Less America

The amazingly awesome compilation "God Less America," or "Country & Western for all ye Sinners 'n' sufferers, 1955-1966," mines every crack and crevice across the country for solid gold nuggets of old school country and Americana.  Originally released in 1995 on Crypt Records, the album gives us a sample of real country and western music from a bunch of artists that you and i have never heard of.  Funny songs.  Depressing songs.  Just plain odd songs.  This is the kind of stuff Waylons and Merles of the world would have dug on, and to a later degree, the boys of Ween.

The record's been out of print for a while as far as i can tell, but i was able to find a smattering of tracks on youtube, so grab a beer and a pack of Marlboro Reds and enjoy a couple of tunes of good ol' country music.  "The music of pain."

Hi-Fi Guys - "Rock 'N' Roll Killed My Mother"



Troy Hess - "Don't Go Topless Mother"



Mohawk and The Rednecks - "Enchanted Forest"


I can not get enough of this stuff.
