I'm sorry but this is just a hoot!

11. That's How I Got To Memphis, Tom T. Hall Album: The Ballad of Forty Bucks Tom T. might just be my favorite country songwriter and this is one of his coolest, most perverse songs. 12. Memphis, Tennessee, Chuck Berry Album: Any Chuck best-of worth a damn Poetry. 13. You Belong To Me, Jo Stafford A...

Twenty great songs that have enriched and, in one way or another, helped define my life. 1. Dyin' All Young, Chuck Prophet Album: The Hurting Business The guitar great from Green on Red has carved out a pretty dang great solo career for himself. No Other Love is maybe just a shade better record but ...

mood swung wrote:The 20 Moods of Mood does have a nice ring to it. I don't think there'd be any surprises, so it would be boring and redundant. Kinda like me.

But it's important that you show Prine the love so that my list won't be so dang lonely.

Bachelor No. 2 *is* a great, great record.

I love those guys and it's on my list but I'm probably gonna have to wait till next month because I am on a self-imposed cd buying hiatus for April. The thing I don't get is, you pay rent and then the next month they want you to pay them again.

Happy Birthday to a fellow Johnny Dowd fan and all around cool dude!

An old man is sitting on his front porch, talking to his new next door neighbor. "You know, I was a farmer for sixteen years. Sixteen years. And in all that time, not one person ever called me Farmer John. I was a policeman for seven years and never once in any of those seven years did anybody ...

There are excellent arguments to be made for downloading, file sharing and P2P software. None of them have been made on this thread, however... Manifest destiny? I can see it now, hordes of teenaged boys clad in Linkin Park tees, riding up in their mom's VW and attacking Tommy Motola's family as th...

I just wanted to throw a curveball because I know I have a rep as the "I will like no album that is not a country album" guy.

Did you show him your East Nashville Skyline?

Did you not see the "To be continued" disclaimer or were you too busy making out with Todd Snider?

- Howlin' Wind, Graham Parker My introduction to The Parkerilla. I was bowled over within fifteen seconds of White Honey and I think that GP is one of the best and most consistently underrated singers of his generation to say nothing of his whip smart songwriting. Listening to Back To Schooldays ma...

mood swung wrote: 1. Quit Hollerin' At Me - John Prine. Not a fave, but it does have that great line 'they already think my name is Where In the Hell You Been.'

Not one of my fave Prine songs either but I do love the bluesy menace of the live version off On Tour.

1. Abraham Lincoln's posthumous record, Will Someone Please Invent Paxcil So My Wife Can Stop Having Night Terrors, went double platinum in its first week of sales and featured the shockingly prescient Lincoln-penned "I'll Make You Famous, Bitch!" 2. The highly-anticipated Samuel L. Jackso...

Not a "recent" film by any means but I finally caught 92 In The Shade starring Peter Fonda, Warren Oates, Harry Dean Stanton, Burgess Meredith and Margot Kidder. It was based on the novel by Thomas McGuane and directed by McGuane himself who did a really, really good job his first time out...

Is that what I was doing 'cause I thought I was merely needling an insecure, overly aggressive jackass. Totally my bad.

Less talk, more spackle.

I call "Enigmatic Bass Player" and lead vocals on Randy Newman's Guilty.

You know, as wedding singers go, my fee is very, very reasonable.

As for the rest of what's been written, all I can say is that I've never been to Dallas and that Cheryl and I have an understanding.

I can only respond with this zen koan -

I sang Dixie.

I was what they call an old school baller and if it weren't for that Midnight Basketball program, I'd have turned 21 in prison doin' life without parole for sure.

Hey, in Waylon's autobiography he talked about how children *love* Roger Miller's music. My first memories of him were as the minstrel troubadour in the animated Robin Hood (the one where Robin Hood & Maid Marian were foxes.....and more convincing as a couple than Costner and Mary Elizabeth Mas...

With all this talk about Juliet Letters destroying homes, I worry that we're overlooking all the marriages being broken up by the Austin Lounge Lizards.

Ahh, Bob Seger. I went through a big, big Seger phase and he's quite possibly the only man who might deserve a stay of execution for sporting a mullet.
