Somebody new I've just discovered. Ally Venable is just a kid, but this music is right up my alley...
Meerkat: I became a huge Leon Russell fan after seeing Mad Dogs and Englishman. The Joe Cocker version is probably the Gold Standard, but this is my favorite Leon Russell song. God Rest His Soul. A couple of trivia tidbits; did you know that Leon Russell played with the Wrecking Crew, studio musicians in LA? Rumor has it the Delta Lady was Rita Coolidge, but she says the only shenanigans that happened in the garden were in Leon Russell's head. Oh to be young again.

Anybody in the mood for some good ole Texas Boogie?
This one is back in the good old days. Fine music.
Darius Rucker doing that country rock thang
I heard this on the radio today. Also listened to the one by the original artist, Mr. Johnny Cash, but I think i prefer this one by Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed. "Tennessee Stud"

@Meerkat I'm so particular. I like a lot of different kinds of music but it doesn't mean I like every artist that does that genre or every song a particular artist or band performs. I like almost every Stevie Ray Vaughan song, most CSNY, Pink Floyd, Sade, Paul Simon, Phil Collins, Santana, Robert Plant, Clapton, Led Zeppelin (but a couple of LZ's stuff is kinda trashy), Peter Frampton, ELP, Tom Petty, old Journey.
Some country is okay, Johnny Cash I grew up hearing that. I generally don't care for Christian pop or rock. Nah thanks.
Flatt & Scruggs...Love it. Doobie Brothers. Kansas. You can skim through this thread and see what I posted, that's what I like. Usually if I didn't "like" it, I don't like it.
I despise Arrowsmith and the Rolling Stones, ac dc -- Elton John wrote some beautiful or interesting music, is very talented, but he, like Steven Tyler and Mick Jagger are worse than sand paper on a brush burn to me. Their egos --- UGH. Kills it for me. I don't like music that is degrading to women but sometimes I am a little slow at realizing what lyrics are about, imagine that. Or music (lyrics) that trash talk sex or suggestive language. I don't need that in my life cuz I don't talk like that or think like that.
I try to have an open mind and I enjoy some of the new stuff by the kids (younger generations) and I mostly can't remember names or song names anymore of the new stuff. So, mostly just rock and roll, some soul, blues, bluegrass, some jazz, country to a point, but I also like to listen to classical music like Vivaldi, Beethoven, Bach, etc. Some of what I listen to is called "Post-Grunge." I'm sure I've missed naming other genres I enjoy listening to.
why am I up so late? I do not know.
