I was looking around the radio stations listed in my iTunes software, and under Americana was Boot Liquor Radio, described as "American Roots Music for saddle-weary drunkards." It looked like a station that deserved a further listen.

They play three kinds of music on Boot Liquor Radio: music 'bout drinkin', music 'bout fightin', and music 'bout fightin' and drinkin'. And three generations worth of Hank Williams. Actually, they describe themselves as "dysfunctional country-rock-folk" which appears to be a pretty accurate description after a couple nights of listening. It's definitely a decent soundtrack if you are up late writin' instead of drinkin' and fightin'.

If you go to their Web site at http://www.bootliquor.com/ you can see their whole playlist. There's the people who will come immediately to mind: Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings, and Johnny Cash are up there with the Williams family. Plus Lyle Lovett, Bob Willis and the Texas Playboys, Dwight Yoakum, Emmylou Harris, and Allison Krauss. Both Elvis's are there (Presley and Costello), Lynyrd Skynryd (but no Freebird), KD Laing, and Merle Haggard. Elton John even makes it with Texas Love Song although I'm not sure how Elton would fare in a bar playing this music. The Dixie Chicks Hole in My Head just played, although I did see Hank Williams III's Pop Country Really Sucks on the playlist. There's also the up-and-coming artists, too.

Just like Blogcritics, Boot Liquor Radio is listener-supported; you can donate at their Web site. So if you want to hear more "Music for Cowhands, Cowpokes, and Cowtippers" give them a listen. And if you make this kind of music, they are looking for songs to add to the playlist.
