Great song choices this week Susan. I could listen to Bonnie Raitt sing the phone book. I first started listening to her when, Nick Of Time, was released. That album really popped for her.

I think that album is in the Rolling Stone top 500.

Sing the phone book. ❀️ You bet! That album was released in 1989 and it’s still on that list! She’s such gift!

As you know, I’m not a fan of most types of music, but I listen to the ones you share. Thanks for the education, I didn’t know there were so many different genres out there. Thanks for sharing.

"Crazy Mama" was the only one of Cale's own recordings to make the top 40, though (as you noted) Clapton's popular covers of "After Midnight" and "Cocaine" raised his profile.

He was a great songwriter, wasn't he? He just wasn't one for the spotlight which is weird since he was so talented.

LOVE Jewel’s song!!! Also love listening to the rest of your list!!

I was a semi- country listener… mostly for Dwight Yoakam (cute too… with his hat on! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚) I even have a picture taken with him… apparently I was obsessed back in the day!! Have a nice week everyone!!!!!!

I had my country moments for sure...and of course, a hot guy who can sing....I dont care what the genre is. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Hugs, Tess! πŸ’™

Beautiful love songs. Jewel is a fabulous songwriter. I love Bonnie Raitt. "Redneck Mother" was made a hit by Johnny Paycheck, a native of Portsmouth, Ohio. JJ Cale is one of the most important songwriters of our generation. I wish I could have met Tim. You two indeed had a "thing going on", and you still do.❀️😘

Charlie, you and Tim would have gotten along famously! You’re both well read and have a passion for music…and baseball! πŸ˜‚

Have a great week…Thanks!
