This one’s for you Jake - RIP
After posting Baby Please Dont Go on the Best Song of the Day thread it reminded me of why I think this guy is one of the most versatile and best singer/songwriters in contemporary music - this is the title track and his own composition from an album of mostly classic country covers - 2006
Thanks, excellent choice from the Almost Blue album, Costello’s diversion into Country music, recorded in Nashville and consisting entirely of classic covers - it certainly ranks as one of my most favourite albums of the 80’s. However, not the best musically and certainly not a typical genre...
These guys a so good - here doing a classic Ernest Tubb hit
(Check out the stunning Gretsch and the old guy on slide, some good walking bass lines too)
