Absent Minded Farmer Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Did a playlist changeup on my Winamp today & saw this tune in the list. It's a bit on the country blues side & a lot more mellow than the rest. Figured it might fit in on this here topic, as there are plenty selections listed in these pages that are (whatever people these days call) country. 😛 Mike 1 Quote

I'm a big Buck Owens fan. And Dwight Yoakam. I've learned a fair bit about the subgenres of country and it makes it easier for me to find stuff I'll like. Bakersfield (Buck and Dwight), and Red Dirt (Turnpike Troubadours, etc.) are my two favorites. 3 Quote
Ian Beale Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 Australia has just lost a legend of the music world in Judith Durham of "The Seekers". Some reactions “It’s a sad Sunday Morning Music for me today, because yesterday I learned that Judith Durham, lead singer of The Seekers during their heyday in the 1960’s, died on Friday. Her voice was extraordinary, but so was her life in general, in so many ways.” Has a selection of tracks https://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/2022/08/sunday-morning-music.html and “This gotta be such an anthem, this song is special” – American singer reacts to Judith Durham & The Seekers.” https://www.michaelsmithnews.com/2022/08/this-gotta-be-such-an-anthem-this-song-is-special-american-singer-reacts-to-judith-durham-the-seeker.html Quote

I’ve never been to Australia (but my wiser brother has and can go on a bit about the nation and it’s people), but I wish someone represented my region of the world so beautifully and so strongly. 1 Quote
Sledgehammer Posted August 21, 2022 Posted August 21, 2022 I stumbled across this. A cover of a rock and roll classic by AC/DC but a sound you won’t expect. 3 Quote
hillman Posted September 16, 2022 Posted September 16, 2022 Supertramp's epic 11 minute Fools Overture, I found myself thinking about this song while hearing about Winston Churchill this week after the Queen's passing 2 Quote
hillman Posted September 16, 2022 Posted September 16, 2022 ^ I want to add the meaning of that song for those who are not fans of that type of music ......I don't remember Madonna or Drake with this type of content Quote https://www.lyricinterpretations.com/supertramp/fools-overture The historical lesson used in the backdrop of the song to give historical context is that of World War II when society was complacent and allowed Hitlerbto rise to power. But for one man alone, who tried to convince the world not to be complacent in the face of the rising Nazi attempt to destroy civilization and create a totalitarist world, we would have lost all that we love and charish, in particular, compassion, love and basic human desency. That man was Winston Churchill. He warned to no end what the Nazis were intending. But no one believed him. They branded Churchill as overreacting and a fool. Finally, we woke up when it was too late to discover, in actuality, he was right. Britain then took to the skies to fight Nazism. Failure to heed Churchill's warnings early on cost the lives of 45,000,000 people, including the slaughter of 6,000,000 innocent Jews. The lesson is to not be complacent or all will be lost. 2 Quote
FarmerFixEmUp Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 Heard this one on Totally Awesome 80's tonight. Pretty much a one hit wonder. Quote

Dzldenny Posted October 19, 2022 Posted October 19, 2022 Twolines... You and I are very in line with music. I'm a sucker for the likes of The Steeldrivers, and Tyler Childers. Just saw The Dead South live about a month ago. Great show. This one from Benjamin Tod gets me. He does a better job than Steve Earl did. The song is about mining, but the message is about everyone. Who didn't go to bed one night a carefree kid and wake up one day a working man? Great thread. I went back to the beginning! Whew... 1 Quote
Dzldenny Posted October 19, 2022 Posted October 19, 2022 Okay. That last post was a great song but a bit heavy. Something a bit more fun from the banjo perhaps? https://youtu.be/NBtjoRpmOjc Quote

She claims those are the only words repeated 😵 for minutes on end. With heavy rock background. The young woke teacher she is helping played this to end the day. So I know the number one worst at my house is not the same as your pick. 1 Quote

hillman Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 I am not sure if Ray Lyell made it in the USA , He is a Hamilton guy who had a fair amount of success in the 80s and 90s here, He is into Christian music now This song is about his veteran Uncle . ends with extended bagpipes .
