![]() ![]() If you haven’t picked up a copy of his new CD Ghost Train yet, you’re missing out. Single (for the artist) - Liquor is Quicker by Johnathan East. This is a three-year-old song but since I just discovered it this year, it counts. ![]() This was one of those songs that grabbed me and wouldn’t let go. I played it over and over and cranked it as loud as it would go. Stellar vocals by East and amazing pedal steel by Steve “Rabbit” Easter. Song (for the writer) –D runk I Am by Thom Shepherd. Thom is a member of the Nashville songwriting establishment having had a few hits by mainstream artists like Bucky Covington and Craig Morgan among others. He wrote Riding With Private Malone for David Ball and he also wrote a bunch of great songs for Kevin Fowler who is another one of my favorites. ![]() More important, though, is the Junkie-worthy material he saved for himself. Drunk I Am comes from his 2005 album Tonky Honk and is a laugh-out-loud funny and brilliant song. Again, just discovered this year, so it counts.Īlbum–Jesus & Johnny Cash by Jarrod Birmingham. This record had more Junkie-worthy songs on it than any other this year. If I purchase more than half the songs from a single album upon first discovery, it’s most definitely a winner. Jarrod is also a real bullriding cowboy so there ain’t nothing fake here. I listened to Pure Blue Heartache from this record over and over on a road trip between L.A. Dale was the winner last year as well and at the time I said this should be called the Dale Watson Award and he should win every year. ![]()
