two versions of Angel from Montgomery, written thirty years ago by John Prine, and has captivated me ever since. I love country. As Dolly Parton (yes, I'm a fan) says it's 'three chords and the truth'.
And then, there's this lot...

John Prine and Iris DeMent - In Spite of Ourselves

He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays,
I caught him once and he was sniffing my undies...

from the dellzeqq all time top 10. It's moved on a bit from cowboy hats...

 

[MichaelM]

A few more.

Pancho and lefty

Willie Nelson & Norah Jones

That's me settled for the night now!

 

[MichaelM]

I do like Gillian Welch. Now listening to "The Weight" with the Old Crow Medicine Show.

 

[John the Monkey]

Will Oldham & Tortoise - "Pancho" (can't find one without either a hugely disturbing video, or irritating overdubbing, sadly).

Townes Van Zandt - "Dead Flowers"

"...Van Zandt's music: intimate, personal, and palpable; there is no hiding the sorrow that exudes from these songs. These are sad songs, folks, and Van Zandt doesn't dress them up as anything else. ... Even though most of his music is sad, it is not sentimental. You get the sense that, like Hank Williams before him, Van Zandt means what he sings..."

That Gillian Welch album is really good - need to give it another few listens.

My favourite John Prine song ("I Guess they Oughta Name a Drink After You") isn't on Youtube, sadly.

 

[Wolf04]

John Prine, Iris DeMent, Gillian Welch and Old Crow Medicine Show now we're cooking but there can only be one Pancho and Lefty...

Wrist slashing music.

One of country's finest all the way from Leicester - saw him at the 100 Club couple of years ago - still great....

Dell, great call on Prine - one of my favourites, quite a recent concert by the look of him!

 

[Crackle]

Well done Noodley, the plan worked, they've all been flushed out


The fact that I've bookmarked some of them is purely for research.

We knew it was a set up but we couldn't help ourselves...

I'm off now but I'll leave you with this - tell me if there's a better looking gal in music........

Good job I don't like C&W then! Now Americana that's different :-)
