Oh, Ginger, I'm sorry that you have a dislike for "Tecumseh Valley" now, because it's such a great song. The first version of it I heard was Nanci Griffith's, but I've fortunately been spared a thousand lesser covers of it.

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I'm sure I'll get over it, because it's a great song. I too first heard it by Nanci Griffith.

I almost put on "Snake Mountain Blues" but "Tecumsah Valley" worked better nestled up against the moody "Silver Raven." I do love Our Mother The Mountain quite a bit - the ultimate country/goth album until Johnny resurrected his career with Rick Rubin. My favorites though are the title track, "Kathleen," and "St. John the Gambler."
joe, that Willie record is as good as advertised and since all the songs are new to me (except "Sister's Coming Home" which I knew from the Emmylou cover) it's quite a treat to get so much Willie in his prime.
Tragic news of the week? There's a HUGE free bluegrass/folk festival in Golden Gate Park next Sunday with much talent that will be conflicting with Emmett's birthday party. It's got Greg Brown (JZ's alltime favorite), Guy Clark, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Del McCoury and dozens of others. Le sigh. Might be able to catch some of the later shows.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You obviously showed poor planning when you conceived Emmett.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
His birthday was on the twenty-third, but we pushed the party back a week since his Mom was out of time.
Here's the full schedule - fifty acts at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Emmylou, Gillian Welch, Steve Earle, Nick Lowe, Robert Earl Keen, Hazel Dickens...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey, this looks kind of cool -- some people at Columbia are doing a study about music (I got an email because I signed up for that "six degrees" thing a hundred years ago):
Now we have another project that we think you might enjoy. This one tries to understand how people form their musical tastes. If you participate you will have a chance to discover and download cool new music. It's legal and totally free. Check it out, >[link]It's apparently "up and coming" artists that you listen to/download.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
As usual I was being a smartass, Hayden. I love the song, and the album it's from, Phases and Stages, is one of the ones I profiled for Lost in the Grooves.
D'oh! I wasn't being a smartass. I love that album, but if that song is the one I'm thinking of, it's not one of my favorites.

I tried that last Friday and my reaction to the seven or so of those songs I heard veered from indifference to outright hatred. But I hope there's some good stuff on there.
And damn, I'm being negative today. Should just shut mouth.

I just did it, and listened to about a dozen songs, amd my most positive reaction was "meh."

OMG those songs so boring.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Apparently my paralegal plays with TV on the Radio. Any opinions?
