Sometimes people ask me why I like country music and I have a hard time answering the question. I know I love it more than any other kind of music, but I can't put my finger on exactly why. Believe me, it's a lot easier to explain your love for "Kind of Blue" or "Odessey & Oracle" than to put your admiration for George Jones into persuasive words.
And then an old country song comes around on my i-pod that just makes me say "wow". So I decided that whenever that happens I will just stop everything and do a quick post here to let the music do the talking for me.
Here's tonight's installment of Why I Love Country Music:
Lefty Frizzell - Always Late (With Your Kissess) (mp3) (buy album).
Am I crazy, or is this sh*t crazy good?
P.S. I'm not a talker. Maybe you are? If you can explain why old country music is so good, please do so in the comments. I eagerly await your contributions....
P.P.S. I also love both "Kind of Blue" and "Odessey & Oracle."
P.P.P.S. I was drinking wine when I wrote this post. I like wine.
P.P.P.P.S. I must be kinda drunk because "Sweet Child O' Mine" just came around on my i-pod and it really made me say "WOW". It's a great song! Peace.
Where do we go now?
