Amarillo by morning!
I know it is not the best country song of all times... Really, not even close. But it holds a special place in my heart along with two other non country songs for different reasons. I will not go Falkiesque here, but this one reminds me of a special girl who is no longer around and a different time and place in my life. Funny how some relationships can make such an impact and end so unexpectedly.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvlJJRCGzdwNow that were are looking at "not the best country song" and going down memory lane, I will also post Pam Tillis. A few years after "the dance" became the song for that experience this one displaced it. Well, it's been over a decade (or two?) now and it only crosses my mind occasionally. Fuck it- time for a drink- in some ways, it still holds true.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjw_uIJQFko

Heck yeah, bluegrass or as my mom used to say, that hillbilly shit I listen to. Nothing better on earth to listen to, driving down a country road.
It is funny the young ones often win the fiddling etc contests (I guess hands so flexible.) The stuff with the young Ricky Scaggs are awesome, with legends.
I loved Doc & Merle Watson, wish I've could've seen them live or gone to DocFest
And there is quite a range, much breakdown bluegrass makes you so happy but also the ballads are the opposite:
That video with young Ricky Scaggs is amazing. Talent at such an early age is rare.Yeah, I regret not seeing them live, too. For wringing that last tear drop out, there is no one like the great Hank Williams
Johnny Paycheck had a great voice. "Take This Job and Shove It" was a mixed blessing. Financially it probably was great, but he had so much emotional range for ballads and they don't get played enough. Those two are really good ones, albrecht.
