The "what are you listening to now" thread

[Katie H]

Silly me. Listening to the washer and dryer....because I'm NOT doing the work.


Actually, some of the laundry is on the line outside. Can't resist the perfume of Mother Nature on our bed linens

A Golden Earring song of no redeeming value at all. "The Twilight Zone". "When the bullet hits the bone."

Great song! I haven't heard it in a long time.

This one is even better...

I stumbled upon a song that took me back to 1980, when I spent a summer working pipeline construction, and used the money to buy a brand new car. I also put a killer audio system in it. It had about six speakers and IIRC, about 300 watts.

This was one of the songs I would blast out in that car...

This tune was first performed in the little-known prison flick, "Unchained" - thus, the title, "Unchained Melody" - knowing that it's a prisoner singing give a whole 'nother bent to the lyrics...

Interesting story: This was written about Don Everly, who had dated my wife's aunt Katherine. Her father apparently forbade her to date him, telling her that Don was just a musician and would never amount to anything.

Kathy is still alive today and living in Florida. I haven't gotten to meet her, but I have met her sons. We do have some of her paintings that she did, on display here in the house.

The Louvin Brothers

Thanks for those Righteous Brothers and Everly Brothers records. Inspired me to play one by the Louvin Brothers. They had lots of hits in the '50s. This'n weren't one of 'em though.

That's one of my favorites Lucky. Set me to lookin' for this Jimmie Rodgers Jailhouse song by Hank Sr. Couldn't find it though, but come across this version by another pretty good Hank.

Hank Snow -

[skilletlicker]

That was a good one. I was going to play a different Hank, Thompson that is, singin' Honky Tonk Girl about another gal whut done him wrong. But then I got to thinkin', maybe ought to play the other side of that story.

The First Ladies of Bluegrass

Got to thinking that most all the folks luckytrim and I played yesterday are now dead men.
So here are five young women, all of them:

• stars in their own right
• award-winning masters of their instruments
• playing on the same stage
• and none of them dead yet.

Reina del Cid

I subscribe to a newsletter by a well-known economist. With each new edition, he includes a musical link. I spent most of the afternoon listening to this young woman's library on Spotify, most of it well-written original songs from two albums released so far. But I enjoyed her YouTube posts even more. Most of them are covers of old songs that everybody here knows but done with a joy that comes from a youthful love of music. Seems like she's been posting a new video to her YouTube Channel most every Sunday morning for five years so its a pretty nice collection. Anyway, this one is a cover of one of those long dead guys I usually listen to. It made me smile; wait for the end. Maybe you will too.

Texas is a big state. Part redneck, part city, part something else.

Central Texas is known for two things, killer BBQ, and good music. Here is a bit of music from the legendary Austin City Limits concert series. Amazing guitar playing. Born and raised in Austin, Texas. Eric Johnson...
