2020 has been pretty shit. Pretty, pretty, pretty shit.
But the music has been pretty great. As always, the travails of man/woman/beyond, have resulted in great art. The «quarantine albums» have been gifted aplenty to us, and a lot of them have been good, even great. Like the Fleet Foxes-album. So good.
At Innlandet Hestejazz HQ, we romanticize the cosmic cowboys from the 60s and 70s, the Gram’s, the Jerry’s, the Emmylou’s, the Linda’s. But even tho we’re kinda crusty, we check out the new vibes.
Thank God for Pearl Charles, Mapache, Pacific Range, and Six Organce Of Admittance. The latter is hands down my album of year, and the year isn’t near being over.
2020 has been pretty great.

Innlandet Hestejazz Society is a moniker that my good friend David Jønsson and me use when we are dj'ing around Oslo. Though to call it dj'ing might be an overstatement, we play records and have a good time. As crate diggers and heads we were drawn to the country-rock and the flying freak flags when we met behind the counter of a record store many years ago. Moonshine Blends are mixes of tunes we would have played in bars, but since we are confined to our own living rooms we are putting them up on the net for everyones pleasure. So tune in for some vibey west coast, hillbilly hobnobs, no-depression and blue collar country. Jerry Garcia, Johnny Paycheck and Jeff Tweedy hand in hand. Keep on truckin'!
