For your "strange but true" files -- "On the Road Again," Rosemary Clooney.
Yes, the Willie Nelson song.
It works surprisingly well.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
On that note, I think we need a country song for today.
I'm going with Tennesee Ernie Ford & Ella Mae Morse's "Hog Tied Over You" with blistering guitar by Jimmy Bryant and steel by Speedy West, and goofy lyrics right out of a Bugs Bunny vs. the hillbillies cartoon.
What's your country song of the day?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Does "Muleskinner Blues" by The Fendermen count?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
What's your country song of the day?
My country song of every day, pretty much all day since the Kennedy Center Awards, including the moment I read your post: Jolene, by Dolly Parton.

According to the all-knowing orb of iPod, my country song for the day is "What Do I Care" by Johnny Cash.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

House Rules, Kane
Drunken Angel, Lucinda Williams

Michael Fracasso, Love & Trust (the entire album). Fracasso has a beautiful high lonesome sound, and there's some very moving, beautiful trcks on this album. Specifically Wake Up George and a song about the Jordan River, whose title I misforget.

My indie song of the day appears to be either "Elevate Me Later" by Pavement, an all-time fave rave I find well-nigh irresistible to singing/shouting/declaiming along with ("I'd like to check out your public protests!/Why you're complaining, Tah!"), or "X-mas Curtain" by My Morning Jacket, which I also like a lot.
