Jerome Wrote:I absolutely hate this song. Not because it isn't any good, but here in Ireland they play this 30 times a day (not kidding either) over the Xmas period. Everytime it comes on I turn the radio off. Or put on a CD.

i hate the Pogues with a passion...have a double cd best of set, cant recall more than a couple of tracks i like

HANK WILLIAMS III "long gone,daddy" cd, 2012.

i love Hank Snr, dislike Hank Jnr, and so far, am a big fan of Hank III(hank Snr's grandson)....probably like him as he sounds just like his Granddaddy, but it is not a forced sound by the sounds of him...
thanks to Music Head's son-in-law Major Tim who reccomended we play one of his albums last year whilst in Florida...we did, and i loved it enough to buy it,that one was "lovesick,broke & driftin".
so earlier this year i got his new one,this one!, i was a bit hesitant because its primarily a covers album, but it passes the mark by a long shot because he has stuck to the "roots of country" with both the song selection and his interpretation of those songs, this one would surely have got a love rating bar it containing a version of a Johnny Cash song (wreck of the old '97), which incidently, im not a fan of Johnny's version neither...that song just does nothing for me at all!.
a couple of very good covers of Hank Snr tracks also on here,hell, if i didnt know better i'd have sworn it was Hank Snr, nevertheless, another very good album by Hank III IMO.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Up there with his best for me. Jerry Lee's umpteenth album. Hard to believe he's still kickin'. Probably just
barely, as the last time I saw him was on Don Imus's show a few years ago, and the killer looked rough. Voice was
gone and the banging of them keys wasn't the same. Middle Age Crazy, a #4 country hit, made this album and felt like
it was written just for Jerry. Follow up single was Come On In, which made #10 country. The album made it to #21
country. Although Jerry Lee is a legend, he never had a #1 album. Inducted into the r&r hall of fame in 1986, I
always considered him country. Not sure where he felt more at home. Of course those rock years were in the late 50's
and that genre was quite different then. For me Jerry Lee was one of the greatest piano players ever, and the killer
rocks on at the age of 76.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Tennessee Saturday Night

Best Track - Middle Age Crazy

Today he traded his big '98 Oldsmobile
He got a heck of a deal on a new Porsche car
He ain't wearing his usual gray business suit
He's got jeans and high boots with an embroidered star

And today he's forty years old, going on twenty
Don't look for the gray in his hair 'cause he ain't got any
He's got a young thing beside him that just melts in his hand
He's middle aged crazy, trying to prove he still can

He's gotta a woman he's loved for a long, long time at home
Ah, but the thrill is all gone when they cut down the lights
They've got a business that they spent a while coming by
Been a long uphill climb but now the profits are high

But today he's forty years old, going on twenty
And he hears of sordid affairs and he ain't had any
And the young thing beside him, you know she understands
That he's middle aged crazy, trying to prove he still can

Maybe they're crossing over.

Anyway, I'm listening to Reba McIntyre. Was going through my ipod and found a duets album of hers. Some pretty good songs on it.


What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 17-06-2012

What Are You Listening To? - Music Head - 17-06-2012
