Has anyone suggested "Summer in the City" by the Lovin' Spoonful for Lilty's summer mix? That's a fun song.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I gotta say that the sold-out crowd at the Decemberists show last night mostly consisted of college kids. The few of us who'd cracked 30 stood out.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I gots it P-C. I'm quibbling on it because its on the summer tape at the store, so I'm afraid of overkill. But its still in serious contention because, hey, good song.

An Austincentric summer choice would be Li'l Cap'n Travis. You can download their cowboy-Beach Boysy "Little Drops of Summer" from their website. Their new one ...In All Their Splendor, is filled with summery tunes, too.

Sure, it's ok, but the George Jones version will turn your knees to jelly.

Mmmm, gelid knees.
Has anybody ever carved out the definitive George Jones collection from all his many different labels? He's one of those guys who always had two devastating classics per album and a shitload of Nashville filler.
There's a nice Charlie Rich collection that pulls his best work together from many labels.

I KNOW!! but I have so much deep love for Elvis. I mean George is the one true owner of the song, no doubt, but I gotta love Elvis doing it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
A fine collection of later 70s George Jones by way of Billy Sherill - but none of his earlier rockabilly/honky tonk tracks.

This one is purt near perfect, David.
Msbelle, yeah, that Elvis collection gets badmouthed a lot, but it ain't so bad.
