  1. My first awareness of Bare Naked Ladies was a concert poster stapled to a telephone pole in '96. Assumed it was a strip show.
  2. Next impression was the theme song for Big Bang Theory.
  3. And now LT's link which I do find entertaining.

Adding them to the list of "Catching up to pop culture projects."

Thanks, LT. No sarcasm or irony intended.
 
And Speaking of Pop Culture...

New York Times Sports recently ran a multi-media article about Roller Derby. Don't know how restrictive the NY Times paywall is but here's the link to the article. Jim Croce is one of my favorite songwriters and musicians of his era and "built like a fridgerator with a head" is one of my favorite lyric images.

Billy Joe Shaver; "I've Been To Georgia On a Fast Train"

Good songs LT. I like the Skeeter Davis version better than the original by Jeanne Black. That was an era when Nashville's idea of a country back up band was to hire the string section of some philharmonic orchestra.

Lots of times somebody asks me what kind of music I like and sometimes I'll say country. Usually, they name three or four people or bands I've never heard of. Then they'll ask who I like and just to be contrary I'll name three guys like Billy Joe Shaver, Jimmy Dale Gilmore, or Steve Earle. Long conversations are over-rated.

This is a great autobiographical song that actually made the Country Top 100 Charts, ... barely.

I agree ! Maybe it's because of another of those 'crushes' we discussed earlier (as far back as when she was one of the "Davis Sisters") or maybe because Jeanne's version seems a bit over-produced (like much of Jim Reeves' work)....


I'm also a fan of Shaver and Gilmore; not so much Steve Earle..... His first album worked for me, but ..........

Speaking of A Capella...

The Wailin' Jenneys popped up on my Spotify Daily Selection and I got to thinkin' how much I miss them and A Prairie Home Companion, a show on which they were frequent guests. So thanks to YouTube here they are singing "Angel Band" a capella, mostly, with Garrison Keillor who seems to have forgotten the words and is just making up verses as he goes along. This is one of those encore songs that weren't on the regular broadcast.

The Wailin' Jenneys put out a new record in 2017 called Fifteen which I highly recommend.

Turns out I couldn't let it go at that so here's a little more. "Glory Bound" at 0:20 and "Wildflowers" at 5:41.

Bluff City Barn Dance

@Claire1980, welcome to DC and the "What are you listening to" thread.

Not going to post a YouTube link here but just like every Saturday morning from 6 to 10 AM central time, I'm listening to "The Bluff City Barn Dance" on WEVL FM, a local listener-sponsored, volunteer operated Memphis radio station. But it streams live on wevl.org. Four hours of bluegrass and old-time with the first hour devoted to Gospel in the Bluegrass and old-time country genres.
