Gillian Welch - Tennessee

Now here, in female country, there would be many contenders for the virtual title of #MacAmate. The first would be Iris De Ment, but the girl certainly doesn't shine in terms of beauty; after all, I'm just an underdeveloped hominid who certainly admired Dolly Parton's curves!

But the extraordinary blonde - actress, songwriter (she wrote "uitneiùston") - singer, and all-around talent is from Tennessee. And that’s where my Gillian kicks in. But then there's the fabulous Emmylou Harris from Alabama, the one seen in "The Last Waltz" (don't say anything!) singing "Evangeline."

Which one to choose?

I lean towards Welch (Noble surname) only because I assume you've all seen Scorsese's film, and if not, you don't deserve to live.

And with this, we close the match *definitively*! Because if there’s anyone among you who believes that there can be more than a line like "Even in Valsugana they use the banana," then it means you don’t know what shame is...

Here’s the record that the Velvet Underground didn’t have the courage to record! Here’s the cover that Warhol would have wanted (but didn’t know how to) create, here’s the work of 4 GENIUS (Palmieri, Nicolosi, Giunta, Miraglia) that only the mediocrity of Italy could keep in an unjust oblivion!

Since @[Dislocation] is jabbering about "noble and humanitarian purposes" and "elevating taste," I - being a good person - bring you a touch of internationality in this contest that, if only you had the good taste to understand it in time, would have already concluded declaring the one and only possible winner (which would be me, clearly!)
Here are two pearls of ITALIAN music that dare to address the international market fearlessly!
My Land
I invite you to enjoy the beauty and professionalism of the diction.

Flavia Fortunato - L' Amore é (HQ)
I’m bouncing back with this beautiful song (fresh, catchy, and part-ti-cola-la-la-re-re-e-eh) as part of the "launched with noble intentions and clear humanitarian purposes” review (as well outlined by the good @dislocation), without further letting it descend into gratuitous vulgarity and mental illness as some unnamed person would like...
And I’ll throw in the amazing choreography too!

The Immortal Lee County Killers - Rollin' Stone

The Immortal Lee County Killers - Let's Get Killed

What to say… punkblues is often reductive…

Robert Johnson, Gun Club, MC5 blended together and the older brothers Oblivians and Pussy Galore serving as godfathers…

Heavily, wonderfully, drugged up, lovable…

The debut in 2000, marking the dawn of the millennium. First and last track: a lethal blow and an endless rolling stone blues, cemetery-like, blazing, stunning, sublime…
