'Conviction (1)'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Does "Muleskinner Blues" by The Fendermen count?
"Good mornin' Cap'tin. Do you need another muleskinner? Eeeheeheeeheeehawww..."
Sure!
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.
Are you familiar with Dolly's "Bargain Store"? It's similar to "Jolene" in that they both have beautiful, old english folk style melodies. Fairport could've done a great album of Dolly covers.
That does suck. I always turn mine off if I have to do real research, but that doesn't seem to be happening a lot lately.
Are you familiar with Dolly's "Bargain Store"?
No, but I'll check it out tonight!

I think you'll love it. It's my favorite song by Dolly.
::sniff::
It's very affecting.
My favorite Dolly is "Silver Dagger" but I don't know that I know "Bargain Store." I'll def. check it out!
What's your country song of the day?
None. I think the closest I come to having one is "Goodnight Moon" by Shivaree.
OMG! I did it again.
Sorry folks.

Oh come on! Not even Johnny Cash covering "Hurt"?
Oh come on! Not even Johnny Cash covering "Hurt"?
Nope. Because while I think it's a brilliant cover, I've not gotten around to buying it because I don't actually know how often I would want to listen to it. I like my emotionally-wrecking music a bit less ... what's the word I want here? Gut-wrenchingly depressing?
Gut-wrenchingly depressing?
How about "El Paso" by Marty Robbins? Pretty and ballady and gothily tragic without the gut-wrenching? Plus, Marty wears black.
