On that note, I think we need a country song for today.
I'm going with Tennesee Ernie Ford & Ella Mae Morse's "Hog Tied Over You" with blistering guitar by Jimmy Bryant and steel by Speedy West, and goofy lyrics right out of a Bugs Bunny vs. the hillbillies cartoon.
What's your country song of the day?
Does "Muleskinner Blues" by The Fendermen count?
What's your country song of the day?
My country song of every day, pretty much all day since the Kennedy Center Awards, including the moment I read your post: Jolene, by Dolly Parton.
According to the all-knowing orb of iPod, my country song for the day is "What Do I Care" by Johnny Cash.
What's your country song of the day?
Do we have to pick just one? I could narrow it to 6:
Family tradition, Hank Williams Jr.
Not ready to make nice, Dixie Chicks .
Here you come again, Dolly Parton
Teach me about love, Lyle Lovett
House Rules, Kane
Drunken Angel, Lucinda Williams
Here you come again, Dolly Parton .
This was my country song yesterday!
I don't think I have one today. yet.
Michael Fracasso,
Love & Trust
(the entire album). Fracasso has a beautiful high lonesome sound, and there's some very moving, beautiful trcks on this album. Specifically
Wake Up George
and a song about the Jordan River, whose title I misforget.
High fives Lisah!
(want one of mine for today?-- I have many more-- I didn't even make it to Corb Lund)
My indie song of the day appears to be either "Elevate Me Later" by Pavement, an all-time fave rave I find well-nigh irresistible to singing/shouting/declaiming along with ("I'd like to check out your public protests!/Why you're complaining, Tah!"), or "X-mas Curtain" by My Morning Jacket, which I also like a lot.
want one of mine for today?
Sure!
I've been working on this complicated document all week and I can't listen to music while I'm having to think this hard. it sucks.
