“Way over yonder in the minor key” by Billy Bragg. Written by Woody Guthrie. 🎵
This is awesome: “Metallica’s ‘Enter Sandman’ at Sold-Out Virginia Tech Concert Sparks Seismic Activity” 🎵
This is a wonderful Webb Pierce song about a man addressing his lover as he considers leaving his family for her. In the end he decides against it because “tell me, dear, could you love that kind of man?” 🎵
Every once in a while you come across a song you could listen to for the rest of your life: The Byrds, “John Riley” 🎵
Colter Wall’s cover of “I Never Go Around Mirrors” is the distilled essence of country music. His voice, the classic lyrics, stripped down music, the harmony. It’s just perfect. 🎵
Jesse Welles, “Trees” 🎵
“It’s Spring again / Don’t God keep a promise / It’s Spring again / Mother Earth keeps her word now / the woman is honest” 🎵
Turn your radio on
One alternative to streaming music I don’t think I’ve ever seen discussed: radio! You probably have an oldies (or similar) station in your area with a local connection. Music: So, yeah, maybe it isn’t your favorite and maybe you have stronger feelings about music discovery than I do. But oldies are basically another canon of standards at this point. It ain’t bad! Local ads: This is America; you don’t get to escape advertising.
