Sometimes I just think about how one of Johnny Cash's most popular songs is actually a cover of a Nine Inch Nails song and just...

It's beautiful how the themes are recontextualized. We really are all the same no matter where we're from and who we are. It's also fucking hilarious that the 90s industrial "fuck you like an animal" guys wrote a song that's now synonymous with America's golden boy of 60s country music.

This matchup was made by a toddler spinning a roulette wheel. We truly are in the best timeline

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how amazing Jim Reeves’ voice is? His vocals are so rich and beautiful, I don’t think I’ve come across a baritone as gorgeous as his. ♥️

Many Americans weren’t too happy with the new Rock and Roll sounds of the 60s. The resulting backlash led to Country music sounding much like a return to 50s Rockabilly. Nashville was a full force mecca, and the genre continued to move further and further from it’s blues (read “Black”) roots, perhaps the result of a different kind of backlash to other (Political) changes also occurring in America.

Song Of The Day - April 30th '23

Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel - Townes Van Zandt

Sometime in highschool I watched Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, which features a cover of Townes Van Zandt's Buckskin Stallion Blues. Ever since then, Townes Van Zandt was on the horizon of my musical journey. I wanted to listen to him, but I never got around to it. It wasn't till Duck made me that playlist in '21 that I finally got to listen to him. Townes Van Zandt was all over that playlist, but Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel became a fast favorite. It was one of my most listened to songs for 2022. Very few songs have the effect of stopping my breath on the opening notes. Maybe it's the emotional attachments I have to the song, but once I hear that opening bass, I know I will be spending the next five minutes lost in the music.

Upon first listen, Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel is almost nonsensical. Each verse tells a different story, with Miss Carousel being the one binding link. Each verse is a cruel joke, an unhappy ending but a harsh lesson of life (You can have all the gold in the world but there are things you can't buy, The easy way out is the coward's way, etc) Truly, Townes' lyrical prowess is plainly seen in this song. There are a million ways to interpret this song. I know my own interpretation changes with every listen. I usually go with the "unrequited love" or "mental illness struggles" interpretations. The song is fairly simple instrumentally with Townes' voice, his guitar, a drum kit, and occasionally a harmonica. But that's all this song needs. Its steady, slightly upbeat rhythm contributes to the carnival of poetry has laid out. Townes was a brilliant songwriter, in my opinion one of the greatest of all time and I don't use that term lightly.

The chorus is what sticks out most to me in this song. It's what I clung to back in my pining days which, if we're being honest, wasn't that long ago. "Won't you come and get me when/You're sure that you don't need me then/I stand outside your window/And proudly call your name". The weight of having something you'll return to no matter what is a tiresome burden. Hanging on by a thread, knowing that at the slightest sound you'll be running. I have a new romantic opportunity that I'm extremely excited about, but I know at a moment's notice I'll be running back to that one person. That one chance I never got. I've said I'm over them several times and always ended up daydreaming again. This time is different. No more calling outside windows. We're busting down a new door.

Listen to the song here:

Michael Nesmith Nudie’s Rodeo Tailors embroidered and rhinestone-accented stage outfit, hat and boots (circa 1967-69), photographed by Bob Delevante.

An influential outfit if ever there was one in the genre. Nesmith was country-rock when country-rock wasn’t cool, when he was still in the Monkees. This rhinestone-accentuated suit — with chain-stitched peacocks, orchids, musical notes and American flag motifs — also came from Nudie’s Rodeo Tailors, circa 1967. It predates the famous Flying Burrito Brothers suits of a similar nature.

“He wore it to the premiere of ‘Head,’ and on the last Monkees television special, ’33 1/3.’ As soon as we decided to do this exhibit, this was one of the first artifacts we thought of, like, ‘Oh, we’ve gotta have that.’ You know, we had a little bit of a relationship with Michael because he was featured in the Bob Dylan/Johnny Cash ‘Nashville Cats’ exhibit that we did, and he came and played an album release party for that, and we got to know him a little and had a relationship going. We asked if we could borrow this, and he made it clear that he absolutely wanted it to come here. And then just with the timing… by circumstance, the same week he passed, we’re getting notices that the shipment is on its way to Nashville. It was just interesting timing.”

— Michael Gray, The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum {x}
