Now for something newer (this century, at least). Here's a Tim McGraw song I really like. It makes me feel real good every time I hear it. I hope you like it, too.

Weekend music, part 2: Colorado Kool-Aid
Posted by Richard on July 3, 2011
Back in the 70s, when I was living in Knoxville, TN, Coors was a regionally distributed beer with a national reputation. It had such a mystique about it that people would bring a van or pickup load of it back from Oklahoma (or maybe it was Arkansas) and sell six-packs for three times the price of Budweiser. The late, great Johnny Paycheck's "Colorado Kool-Aid" is from that era. Enjoy!
Paycheck didn't just speak, he sang too. "I'm the Only Hell (My Mama Ever Raised)" captures the outlaw image he cultivated.
Here's a fine live performance of "Lefty Was Right After All," a tribute to the great Lefty Frizell.

Weekend music: NRPS
Posted by Richard on July 3, 2011
When a song keeps running through your head and won't go away, some people call that an earwig. I hadn't heard "Lonesome L.A. Cowboy" in ages, and all of a sudden there it was — an earwig. Been hearing it in my head for several days now. So I've found it on YouTube, listened to it several times (great song!), and now I'm posting it. Maybe that will get it out of my head — so something else can take its place. 🙂
Aw, heck, if I'm going to post some New Riders of the Purple Sage, I really should include "Panama Red," shouldn't I?
And as a bonus, here's a nice live performance (1972) of "Hello Mary Lou," with some sweet pedal steel guitar work by Buddy Cage.
