: : Emotional Rescue. "I will be your Knight in shining armour." Egad! If Mick had pronounced "knight" the way the crazy Frenchmen in Monty Python's The Holy Grail...kuh-nig-its...I could have lived with it. My Mom always says that if you don't have anything good to say....well I don't have anything good to say about that stinking piece of rat filth so I'll stop now.
: : Easy Keef, I didn't say it sucked.
: : SS
: I've thought the Shining Armour" part was sexy.
: The worst lyrics have to be an instrumental jam.
: Because they are no worst lyrics!!! To me, there
: is none, to others maybe.
: 2000 Man mentioned Emmylou Harris. I didn't know
: people like her here. I love her.
: Leaving Lousiana in the broad day light is just
: good olde plaing good.
: But there is another country singer that I'm finding
: out about...Iris DeMent! She does a duet w/
: John Prine called "In Spite Of Ourselfs"
: Everytime it's played on my community radio, I just
: gotta sing along.
: Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings is one of Prine's
: finest work.
: Yeah, sorry to most but Tom Waits is not for me.
: My alternative to the Stones is low down ranchy
: country. IE Steve Earl. I have him doing Dead
: Flowers. His version of "Don't Take Your Guns To
: Town" is close to Memory Motel.
: But staying as far as I can from Garth.
: I've always liked Mississippi John Hurt a disc
: called "Today"
: Good country and good blues is a Lousiana Recipe.

You oughta check out the Flying Burrito Brothers/Gram Parsons. On top of the country rock, Emmylou Harris sang on most of Gram Parson's solo stuff.
