Dad Music

[hch]

Hokay. I'm taking the liberty of classifying a new genre of music, so that I may claim as one of my favorites when people ask. It's called Dad Music. You can rock out to it, and it can bring you to tears. It has killer hooks, sweet melodies, crafted lyrics, and intense voices. In the case of Lloyd it includes:

Dire Straits
Kris Kristofferson
Bob Seger
Warren Zevon
Leonard Cohen
Willie Nelson
Gene Autrey, and basically any singing cowboy

Depending on who your dad is other staples might be:

Neil Young
Bob Dylan
Eric Clapton
The Rolling Stones
Tom Waits
Hank Williams
Tom Petty
B.B. King
Randy Newman
John Prine
Van Morrison
Joe Cocker

Tonight I downloaded my first Nick Lowe album, Impossible Bird. A wonderful addition to my ever-growing collection in this badass genre.
