Well my friend took the plunge and got a slack radio. Best freakin audio device ever!!!

Well woot.com has been selling them off for real cheap. $45 with shipping.

Trying to build the best outlaw country/southern rock station right now. So any suggestion on bands I may not be familiar with?

Got alot of the basics from hank williams to kid rock. Any more obscure artist or songs you guys can suggest?

Try Southern Culture on the Skids - Dirt Track Date (white trash rockabilly) & Mojo Box. Delbert McClinton, Never Been Rocked Enough, the best Texas roadhouse rock and R&B. Todd Snider - East Nashville Skyline and The Devil You Know. Webb Wilder - Acres of Suede.

A couple from the mid-1970s:

Jerry Jeff Walker ("Viva Terlingua" [album]), Red Steagall ("Lone Star Beer and Bob Wills Music" [album])

"Never Been Rocked Enough" is a great album intro to Delbert McClinton--here's another song "Lone Star Blues" (Album = "Room to Breathe")

Listen to some early "Outlaws" circa 1974-1976 before Henry Paul left the band. The best albums (as I best recall) are "The Outlaws", "Lady in Waiting" and "Hurry Sundown"

Don't imagine you'd need any help with Allman Brothers Lynard Skynard mainstream southern rock kinds of things. So are you interested in rockabilly? (Billy Burnette, Southern Culture on the Skids) Psychobilly? (Rev. Horton Heat) Cajun/Zydeco? (Beau Jacque) Tex-Mex? (Los Lonely Boys, Los Super Seven) Swamp pop? (Marcia Ball) Texas songwriter (Guy Clark, Billy Joe Shaver, Robert Earl Keene, Lucinda Williams, Ray Wylie Hubbard).

Then there's alt-country (Wayne Hancock), roadhouse rock (Delbert McClinton, mentioned earlier), country punk, rural R&B (Amazing Rhythm Aces with Stacked Deck), etc. etc? Not much appreciated compared to the other records, but I really like Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughn on Family Style. It's not just blues, and those boys can play!

There's a pretty broad spectrum in "the south". Heck there's a lot of ground to cover just in Louisiana. So where do you want to go?

Yean, but not real "southern", if you know what I mean. If you want to check out some "nordic New Orleans" listen to a little Anders Osborne. Try "Greasy Money", or "Coast to Coast Blues" from Living Room.

Slack Radio is a wifi audio receiver that looks like an MP3 player. You can tune it to receive internet radio when you're in your wifi network, or play MP3 tunes off your server. So if you have all your CD's on your hard drive you can listen to them in your garage, for example, or in your bedroom, without a Squeezebox or Roku media device, amplifier, speakers, all that. Cool bit of kit.

I sometimes listen to "Boot Liquor" Alternative Country on Soma FM through the I-tunes radio function.
All of the artists listed above can be found there and some other great ones too.
Awesome car working music!
Happy 2009! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Wow, tends to the twangier side, but excellent! So far this morning Dave Alvin, John Prine, the Bottle Rockets, Todd Snider, Chris Smither, Drive by Truckers, the Gourds, Asleep at the Wheel, and now Cornell Hurd!!! It's got that old KFAT vibe mixed with some Austin Armadillo, and all in one place. Thanks.
