Some great stories here, thanks, Lo. I was once motivated to write a song after playing a winter gig in a pub, where the stage was close to the door and every time it opened, a freezing wind would blow in. Nobody was there to be entertained. It felt like they were just there to get drunk with their mates. Sometimes you can win over those crowds and get them singing your original hooks with you, but this particular night I was just background noise and felt sorry for myself. I had to remind myself that they were not there to see me perform. :)
New here and do not know most of these songs but find it interesting to slow down and read the lyrics.

Brilliant
Recommend Ballad of Tindersticks by The Tindersticks: https://youtu.be/bdlqMPSeXXo?si=v5AcqUcPraL0muqO and The Performer by Lee Hazlewood https://youtu.be/IKi60eX_82g?si=qQKPmqkBtB8d0LIw
I love this, road songs are some of my faves. Have you ever heard Tom T Hall's Homecoming? A killer! https://youtu.be/lzm5llVmR2E?si=f7QDakBaOGLrKAOk
I tried a kind of oblique take myself: https://theamyrigby.bandcamp.com/track/back-from-amarillo
Hope you have a great tour with Kevin Morby!
