fortyearspickn Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I thinkGeorge said this was once voted The Best C&W song of all time. It's certainly in my Top Ten. Deceptively difficult to play and sing really well. I'd have to go,with " You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Me, Lucille". Sort of a basic song, but for some reason it resonates with me.

RichG Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 My current favorite is "Makin' a Killin'" by the Spinney Brothers, a Canadien Bluegrass band. A guy writes a song because his girl left him and it becomes a hit. "Now I'm makin' a killin all because of losin' you." That's this week. I'll probably have another next week. Although I have always liked your choice. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j45nick Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Just can't get enough, amazing writers, amazing performers and just so handsome and polished I could cry. Catchy, foot-tapping music. Nothing more...... Driving down the street and singin' to the music on the radio. But nothing more..... Here today, gone tomorrow. Is there nothing more......?

ParlourMan Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Tongue out of cheek.. an impossible choice to make when trying to suggest music some may not have heard before and avoiding the rolleyes obvious choices. This is one of them though, no ground was broken in the making of this video, even if it moved a little under my feet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJfhaayOAy0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParlourMan Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Or this one, but I may be biased, doing a version of this at the minute. A bugger to play.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLLcIlXYzMs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

62burst Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Heartstrings. Speaking of Tangled Up in Blue, I just participated in a Celebration of Life: my long-time music partner just passed away recently. His widow wanted to celebrate the music that was such a big part of his life, & requested the attending musicians to begin with "Tangled Up...Blue". . . That song will never be the same. Godspeed, my friend. "Gotta admit, I felt a bit uneasy": His instruments were all out, on stands. Taking his resonator guitar out of the case... perfectly tuned up in open tuning. Wondering what the last thing he'd played... Soundholes... soaking it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merseybeat1963 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I never really sat through a George Jones song before but that is a hypnotizing voice. The live "Tallest Man.." tune is a beauty..love the guitar playing. Guy sings a little too much like Bob Dylan though. I hope some more people post on this thread cause the suits dont put anything good on the radio in this NY area.. This is the one that comes to mind for me. Her voice was was girly but womanly ...and the ahhhs by the chicks in the background..this one really does it for me. Reminds me of the early 90's & London. If you play it on guitar you really get to enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Totally impossible to answer – but sometimes I tend to say Desolation Row or A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall. Simply because they leave one severely satisfied when fading out. After the many verses in both songs, lots of aspects and massive territory is covered – not least by yourself as the abstract lyrics invite the listener in as co-writer. Which is the clue to great art – and to the exchange with all artistic expression. A seriously good feeling. Besides those basic melodies somehow just never wear out - not to mention the singing/phrasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchie1281734003 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I am not a great Paul McCartney fan (He says owning a McCartney reissue Texan!), but this song about John Lennon makes me well up every time. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Blind Willie Johnson's "Dark Was the Night Cold Was the Ground." This piece just haunts me. As Ry Cooder once noted, simply the most soulful bit of music recorded in the 20th century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
