From 1947.
There are many great Junior Brown songs and he’s my favorite country-western artist. Among them, “Broke Down South of Dallas” is perhaps my favorite.
Strait (dammit)
You’re the Reason God Made Oklahoma - David Frizzell and Shelly West
“Lovesick Blues” by Hank Williams Sr.
Hehehehheh Thanks Ciaphas Cain Hugs.
notch (dammit again)
All My Ex’s Live In Texas - George Strait
Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog — Johnny Cash
Too many to list.
One of the greatest music videos ever made.
The perfect country and western song: “You Never Even Called Me By My Name”
“I Saw The Light” by Hank Williams
Alan Jackson & George Straight . . . Murder on Music Row
Love it, especially when I go to Nashville down near Music Row when we go to Vanderbilt for appointments.
Way too many favorites to pick just one . . . but love this one. Last time I saw it was when the Cowboy Rides Away when George had his last concert in Cowboy Stadium.
Nobody saw them running
From 16th Avenue
They never found the fingerprints
Or the weapon that was used
But someone killed country music
Cut out its heart and soul
They got away with murder
Down on music row
The almight dollar
And the lust for worldwide fame
Slowly killed tradition
And for that, someone should hang (”Ahh, you tell ‘em Alan”)
They all say “Not Guilty!”
But the evidence will show
That murder was committed
Down on music row
For the steel guitars no longer cry
And the fiddles barely play
But drums and rock ‘n’ roll guitars
Are mixed up in your face
Ol’ Hank wouldn’t have a chance
On today’s radio
Since they committed murder
Down on music row
They thought no one would miss it
Once it was dead and gone
They said no one would buy them ol’
Drinkin’ and cheatin’ songs (”Oh, but I still buy ‘em”)
Well there ain’t no justice in it
And the hard facts are cold
Murder’s been committed
Down on music row
For the steel guitars no longer cry
And you can’t hear fiddles play
With drums and rock ‘n’ roll guitars
Mixed right up in your face
Why the Hag wouldn’t have a chance
On today’s radio
Since they committed murder
Down on music row
Why they’d even tell the Possum
To pack up and go back home
There’s been an awful murder
Down on music row
