Here’s Suzy Bogguss doing the song. It was written by Michael Burton, and first recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker on his 1975 album, Ridin’ High.

Like I said above, I just like the way she sings it.



If it’s not this one it’s “The Old Double Diamond.”

I listen to tons of "classic" country music. Some of the old stuff and a lot from before 2000. Here's a song I didn't know well until a few months ago... might have heard it in this thread. I remember seeing a video of him singing it acoustic with some people sitting in a circle. Anyways, it is one of the most beautiful and sad songs I've ever heard.




I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log.

Dwight Yoakum and Buck Owens, with Pete Anderson on lead guitar and Flaco Jimenez on accordion; it just doesn’t get any better than that.

The epitome of The Bakersfield sound.

"Bakersfield sound is a sub-genre of country music developed in the mid-to-late 1950s in and around Bakersfield, California. Bakersfield is defined by its influences of rock and roll and honky-tonk style country, and its heavy use of electric instrumentation and backbeats.[2] It was also a reaction against the slickly produced, orchestra-laden Nashville sound, which was becoming popular in the late 1950s. The Bakersfield sound became one of the most popular and influential country genres of the 1960s, initiating a revival of honky-tonk music and influencing later country rock and outlaw country musicians, as well as progressive country."

If you'd have told me that Waylon did a cover of Songbird, I'd have said, "Oh, please...no." Then I listened to it.

Can't wait to hear the rest.

Not “Classic Country” in the sense that you wouldn’t be likely hear them on Country radio. Hard to argue that this isn’t Country though. The song goes back to Son Volt’s first album in 1995, and that’s now 30 years ago.

If I’m being honest, Jay Farrar’s vocal style can get kinda repetitive. That doesn’t change the fact that he can write a great song. The band he put together is outstanding too. Dave Boquist, who is playing banjo on this song can play about anything you put in his hands.

Eric Heywood on pedal steel.

This is one of my favorites.

Did we post this one up earlier? Not sure; one of my faves by Waylon Jennings.
