New favourite song time

[Cubist]

Heard this on R2 this evening and just had to dig it out and listen to it again. Great song, great lyrics, good simple evocative solo.... what's not to like?

Yeah, I don't mind a little Rodney Crowell either. Always liked this one:

Thanks Cubist and delb0y. I had never heard of him before. Great songs.

I like Rodders, my favourite LP is probably a bit too country for most, 'Let the Picture Paint itself', my favourite track is Best Years of our Lives, superb twin fiddle, steel and guitar break, what's not to like?! You're spared hearing it as I can't find it on youtube.

Another great record of his is The Houston Kid, hard hitting stuff, some autobiographical, that deals with, domestic violence, drugs, Aids. There's also a fun tune based around Cash's Walk the Line, I guess you can do that if he's your Father Outlaw! Rock of my Soul from THK is outstanding IMO.

[Aperitif]

A current 'favourite' of mine, that is getting a lot of playing, here and there...we'd all like to live in a 'Cash rich society'!

Saw the thread and it made me think of a song I would hear at work a lot back in the 80s. I still remembered it but could never find it, I thought it was done by the Sweethearts of the Rodeo...it was actually the Forester Sisters. I finally found it a few minutes ago! I could not find it on Youtube but I found it at Myspace. I don't know if it will come up here. I have to press the arrow to make it start. It is sort of girlie but I still like it.

* I can't embed it on here but here is the link if anyone wants to hear it. It was played a lot on the radio for a couple of months around here. You may have heard it too.

[Cycleops]

Well if we are going down this route.

Thanks for that...Emmylou Harris, one of my all time faves.

 

[Born2die]

Love this song

 

[Cubist]

I hate to say this but I loved the blues style evident in Fate's Right Hand. I'm not much of a country fan, although I occasionally hear something I like.

Reminded me of this...I never tire of it:
