Alright here’s my Great American Bar Scene take (don’t kill me)
First off: No artist owes you anything. Are some songs rehashed shit he’s done before? Sure. I’m trying to think of an artist who doesn’t do that.
Is a bunch of it off putting? Yep. a couple months back 1/5

Point being… one of the biggest artist of this generation decided to put something out that is jarring, unpolished (sometimes abrasively so) and that is GOOD FOR MUSIC. A weird pseudo concept album that is going to go gold. Just my take 🫡

Oak Island is dope and has The National vibes big time. Bass Boat is bon iver fare, obvi The Way Back is the same motif. John Moreland track is good, Bruce feature is just ok and obvi an “I’m on fire” riff. I could go on and on. 4/5

To all the new folks here: howdy, I’m Turner Porter. I’ve been a country folk songwriter for as long as I can remember.
Based out of Detroit currently, I try to keep my current work as raw and real as possible. Recommended if you like Zach Bryan, Jason Isbell, Tyler Childers ✌️

It’s probably his most divisive from what I’m seeing. And he won’t take your advice and he’ll keep doing whatever he wants. And when that produced Zach Bryan record comes along, you can hate that, too ✌️3/5

I love that the country music industry’s reaction to Tyler putting a gay storyline in his last music video was to hard launch the bizarro version of him 🤣

That’s what I’m saying. He is just doing what he does and it’s actually unique, artistic and experimental that’s super good for music culture in general. I don’t look at him as a country artist, I just look at him as a songwriter, and he can write bars

Any artist out there there that is doing this with no financial help from family and supporting your own while holding down a job (or not):
you are not alone and being a creator right now is hard as heck. Much respect and much love from a simple downriver boy.

I feel shifts in the way I interface with the world right now. Big doors are closing and opening. I’ve been slacking with music but the songs stay in my head, waiting to be recorded. Shows coming. I don’t feel guilty. I keep going. Love you guys ✌🏻

He said his favorite record was The bon Iver self titled. That’s why we get spare sprinkled piano, “choir” parts (because lord knows guy ain’t using auto tune) and hell even a song titled “towers”.
Point being, is it the best record he’s put out or the worst? 2/5

If anyone took the torch after John Prine passed, it’s John R. Miller. He isn’t a direct rip like a lot of guys I hear, he basically is making that style of songwriting for this century and it’s stellar

If you or anyone you know has a problem with alcohol, do not hesitate to reach out to me. Dealing with a situation a friend is in that is absolutely heartbreaking. Don’t wait to figure out what your rock bottom is. Just don’t. I will literally send you my number and we can talk.

Im an outsider. I’ve never fit into a local scene musically. Never felt like people wanted to connect.
Still do my best to talk to people, favors, root for them regardless. I don’t care. I make my music for me and for the people who believe in it. Don’t let a scene define you.

Reclaiming the room. My buddy taught me some Blake Mills shit where you put a strip of cigarette pack cardboard in your strings down by the bridge. Percussive, weird. Tuning is CGDGGA with a capo way up. Sounds better loud but baby room is underneath my home studio.

Less than two weeks until this heater drops. ‘Burnout’ is an acoustic alt country ripper that’s pretty autobiographical and rough around the edges. I wrote it with “let it ride” in mind.
