CONTRARY WESTERN

Art Direction, Writing, Directing and Producing for Contrary Western, a music media site & production company.

@tommyprinemusic shared a striking, stripped-down cover of “Videotape” by @radiohead and told us the story of being floored the first time he heard the song after coming to it by way of @delhiero rapping over a remix of the Radiohead track.

@shifty71 shared a stripped-down version of “Dead and Gone” from his forthcoming album “Lost at Sea” during an early morning session at @3sirens back in February and told us the story of a lightbulb moment he had about playing acoustic guitar live after seeing @rhettmiller perform at @citywinerybos a few years back.

We're looking forward to Record Store Day at @vinyltapnashville and looking back on our recent session with @amythystkiah, who stunned us and the crew at Vinyl Tap with a Tori Amos cover from her "Pensive Pop" EP, which is dropping tomorrow on exclusive etched vinyl, and a powerful, guitar-driven version of her song “Fancy Drones (Fracture Me).”

@amythystkiah stopped by @vinyltapnashville to share an incredible cover of @toriamos’ “Sugar” and speak to us about the similar philosophies she’s found within old-time music and alternative music, the uniqueness of field recordings, and the life-giving nature of live music.

@adeemtheartist shared a stunning cover of “Lake Marie” with us, just before soundchecking for their show at @bluebirdcafetn earlier this year, and also spoke about the influence @john_prine has had on their songwriting over the years.

@shifty71 was ramblin’ through town this past week and we had the chance to catch up with him yesterday before seeing him at @theryman opening for @blackberrysmoke .  As coast-to-coast as it gets from Los Angeles to Nashville, we tackled everything from the influence of Merle Haggard and the Bakersfield sound to the inspiration Chris has drawn from the Nashville musicians he worked with for his forthcoming record—while also drawing some pretty profound lines to the unbroken circles that make up the Venn diagram of punk rock and country music.

@brent_cobb took some time before the last show of his “When It’s My Time” tour to share some wit and wisdom—as well as some insights into the creative process behind his record “And Now, Let’s Turn to Page…”—in an interview from February 2022 that finished up just before he had to head into @citywinerynsh for a night filled to the gills with gospel songs and grooves.

This year for Christmas, we’re looking back at the most wonderful time we shared with @tommyprinemusic at @dirtymelrose over a (pardon-us-for-the-plastic-cupped) pint or two of @guinness.

@tommyprinemusic plays “This Year for Christmas” and shares some thoughts about the past-perfecting perspective one can get into during the holidays.
