Whatcha listnin to oo oo?

Some of y'all were talking about the current state of "Country Music".

For all of you, I'm going to share three Country songs that I think are absolutely BEAUTIFUL.


A few of my buddies here know that I took care of my Mom (*for about 10.5 years), as she slipped into the grips of Alzheimer's. By the end of that particular nightmare, I was feeding/bathing/wiping/etc. her. Honestly, I'm not ashamed to admit that the whole thing was pretty horrible.

Anyhoo, about 10 years ago, I was driving Mom to a Christmas party at my Aunt's house. She was still ambulatory at that time.

I had the truck radio on a "Classic Country" station. At some point during that trip, and through the otherwise silence in the cab of the truck, I realized that Mom was singing Every. Single. Word. of Glen Cambell's "Gentle on my Mind". For me, it was an absolutely wondrous and horrific moment.


Here's Raul Malo, and "The Mavericks", paying tribute to that song... (*Yes, I know...It will ALWAYS be EPIC)



 
I was eight years old when my Dad (*RIP) took me to see "Every Which Way But Loose" at the theater (*1978). That was the first time that I heard Charlie Rich's "I'll Wake You Up When I Get Home".

For me, it will always be a beautiful Country ballad...
