‘I’d like to drop my trousers to the world’. From the Meat is Murder album.

Great song and a strange, strange video.

I tend not to play YLT very often these days but when I do I’m glad I did.

From 1979. I love the way the drummer with the syrup keeps looking at the camera, Peter Kay-style.

Title track of the Arkansas nightingale’s 2018 album.

Any band named after a Gillian Welch song gets my vote. And the story https://www.spotlightuk.co.uk/articles/2016/2/29/the-heartbreaking-story-of-nowhere-man-and-a-whiskey-girl-an-arizonian-duo-with-a-morbid-end behind this husband-and-wife duo from Arizona is terribly sad.

From his classic 1975 debut album, Old No 1.

Commencing a short season of songs about Nowhere, here’s Old Shaky serenading some hens a couple of years ago.

Apologies for the corny video; that’s country for you.
