On September 27, Good Country and BGS debuted our brand new variety show, the Good Country Goodtime, at Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles. The inaugural show, hosted by country and bluegrass singer-songwriter Robbie Fulks, featured comedy, country, and performances by musicians Victoria Bailey and Aubrie Sellers, comedian and actor Kurt Braunohler, and our all-star Goodtime house band led by the Coral Reefers' Mick Utley.
Dynasty Typewriter is one of LA's premier spaces for comedy, music, podcasts, improv, and so much more. The very first Good Country Goodtime was captured by the venue's state-of-the-art cameras and we're so excited to begin sharing exclusive sessions pulled from our debut edition of the show with our readers and fans. To kick off the new series, we're highlighting our impeccable host for the evening, Robbie Fulks.
For one of his several selections during the variety show, Fulks performed "I Just Lived a Country Song," a sardonic and self-referential western-flavored tune all about the hilarious and lonesome ups-and-downs of a life lived within country tropes. The original number trots along, propelled by the first-rate pickers in our Goodtime band, while it follows the rise and fall of a perhaps fictional country star.
It's a perfect representation of Fulks' dry, hilarious style – which fit in perfectly to our vision for the brand new Good Country Goodtime.
