Actually, @tyray , the Jim Croce lyrics that I posted came to my mind after I read your post @immatthewj, I had older sisters too! I remember my father getting my ’big baby sister’ a small 45 rpm record player for her birthday I think, and belie...

@tyray , LOL!  I didn't shoot you those old Jim Croce lyrics because I thought you were a 70 YO 'boomer; I just thought, after reading your last post, that you might appreciate the sentiment.   @devinplombier , funny that you should mention  Bill...

Best Covers
The ongoing lyrics thread in this forum made me think of two covers of It's All Over Now Baby Blue that I really like. Gal Costa covered it in Brazilian, and Bonnie Raitt did a nice cover for a compilation disc; I think it may have been on the so...

@8th-note , I recall my two older sisters listening to them (The Beatles and Dylan) when I was growing up. There was a pretty good age gap between them and me, and back then I didn’t have a real appreciation for music, however I did find a lot of ...

Top 10 Live Albums
@mashif , +1 for EmmyLou at The Ryman.  I bought it for her cover of Guitar Town, but I love the cover she did of Lodi as well.  The entire CD is pretty good--great sound and good songs.

Disclosure - I'm a 70 year old boomer and I'm becoming crotchety in my old age. @8th-note , you've got five years on me, but how did your dad feel about Dylan and The Beatles?  I remember that my dad did not like either of them--not at all.

I had to do a google search because I’ve lost track of the years, but Justin Townes Earle’s first CD release was in 2008, and according to Wiki, he followed that with seven more. I admit that I haven’t heard everything that he did, but I listened ...

Oh and let’s not forget about Ted Nugent. A lyrical genius of the 20th century.  It's hard to keep a straight face as I type that.

"Brown Sugar" by The Rolling Stones - Do I really need to post the lyrics here? As an aside, back in nineteen eighty and something I read Up And Down With The Rolling Stones (because the review in Playboy seemed interesting) which was theoretic...

They just don't write great songs like this any more:   Well I met him on a Sunday (oooooo) & I missed him on Monday (oooooo) Well I found him on a Tuesday (oooooo) & I dated him a Wednesday (oooooo) Well I kissed him on a Thursday (oooo...
