The Beat! With Garrett Cash - 2 - All Summer Long!

It’s the country beat! A special episode dedicated to my passion for classic country music of all varieties. 

In this episode, I’m going to walk you through the songs that have driven my passion for this music for over a decade. This is the music that made me as primarily a rock fan turn my head and dive deep into the worlds of Nashville, Bakersfield, Austin, and beyond. 

This is based on a popular playlist I made on Spotify called “Country Primer,” which I really enjoy listening to myself and has now reached a runtime of over seven hours. If you want to hear all the tracks I’ve compiled there check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/01zh8K2r7wXBK2HYurPu53?si=135140e8072f4712 

What I intend to do is trim down that playlist into a show where you can hear me explaining why these songs have made such a huge impact on the genre, on me, on the artists and more. There’s many songs I’m playing that make the whole backbone of a musical form that has been in a commercialized form for a hundred years. There’s a lot of sounds, styles, regional quirks, and eccentric personalities that cover a wide map of the human experience here. This music has spoken a great deal to me and in this episode I will be playing recordings that scratch the surface. There are big stories here, and I can’t even begin to tell it all here so please use this episode as an invitation to explore for yourself what gives this music its power. 

If you’re not familiar with country music at all I hope this acts as a way to whet your appetite. Are you ready for the country?

The Beat! With Garrett Cash - 21 - Bob Dylan Coverpalooza!

This is a track Andrew Wilfong and I concocted in a mere fifteen minutes with only a sound idea. The song is The Everly Brothers classic, but the music is a Lynchian swirl...

All I Have To Do Is Dream

For the past day or so I've been obsessing over Peter Sellers, and watching and listening to all sorts of his material. I was listening to a wonderful LP he did with George Martin called "Songs for Swingin' Sellers" and discovered this fun little ukulele ditty that I decided to cover to pay homage to a man that has been opening new worlds of comedic brilliance to me. Sellers performed this tune many times over the years in his irresistibly sloppy manner, which I have retained for this.  I hope you enjoy it! 
Brilliantly recorded on my cell phone. 

I Haven't Told Her She Hasn't Told Me (Tribute to Peter Sellers)

I wrote this little scrap of a power pop song a couple of years ago in the hopes that I would get something that sounded Smithereens-y. Maybe I went a little too far with that, but if nothing it proves what a huge influence they have on me. I'm so sad that Pat is gone and I never got to see him perform, but the songs he wrote and legacy in alternative rock that he left will never cease to fill my subconscious. Excuse the less-than-garage level quality of this recording. I did it on my phone real quickly, but the point is just to see how clearly Smithereens it is, down to Pat's favorite subject matter and all. Hope you enjoy this little nugget.
