Music Head Wrote:uh-oh, on the spot for this one
never a big Waylon fan for some reason
yes he had a few good songs
maybe the outlaw anti-Nashville image turned me off
same with Willie and Hank Jr.

current female traditional country artists?
a lot can do it if they want to, as can the guys
nobody wants to
difference with the girls is they are not that popular
there is no Loretta, Tammy, Dolly, Emmylou
I'll go with Sara Evans, Gretchen Wilson, Faith Hill, Lee Ann Womack
and of course CH woke me up to Kasey Chambers who hasn't even made a dent here

this time its Charlie's best off set.
songs covered on here are from the early to mid 1970s...
i either like or love nine of the ten tracks on offer....the only one i dont like is his version of "america the beautiful"...i have heard better, much better, but this version aint beautiful, its ugly IMO...Rich cannot do this with his voice,yet its such a simple song to sing...
on a positive note...its so hard to pick a best track off this one..."the most beautiful girl", "my elusive dreams", "behind closed doors" all deserve it, but this time round im going to pick.....

you like Charlie better than I do
it's that damn Sun connection


What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 08-11-2013

LOL, could be...

i still find it amazing that a small hillbilly regional two-bit record company/recording studio could discover and/or produce so any great artists that went on to be influential in music...Sam Phillips should have been a multi-billionaire, and he'd have deserved every cent IMO....

GEORGE FORMBY "the world of George Formby" vinyl, 1970

London,UK born George Formby was born in 1904,started acting around 1915,ended up making around twenty movies in his career),
he also performed in dancehalls(sort of a Vaudeville) type sound...
also has a cheeky Lonnie Donnegan feel and sound to his songs with Ukulele as his instrument of choice...
on this album is his self composed original version of Herman Hermit's "leanin' on a lamp post" hit(you sort of get the idea of what he sounds like now,i hope?!)...
apparently, according to Wkipedia, Formby also performed Dylan's "subterranean homesick blues" track in 1960 on BBC tv....a full five years prior to Dylan releasing it, now that means Dylan's is not the original version, and he did not write it neither...so God knows how Dylan got hold of it...so as Formby died in 1961, there can be no date discrepancies with who did this one first!
Formby's version of that song does not appear on this album...
album is full of little ditties like the Herman track, i guess you either like that stuff or you dont...
me, i think its okay,nothing special but interesting to hear once in a blue moon!
