YouTube video by MadManDrummer Bruce Springsteen - Seven Nights To Rock

Originally recorded by Moon Mullican in 1956. Most people don't know who he was, and I think his influence is underrated.

YouTube video by The Everly Brothers - Topic Radio and TV

Written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. Even in a very slight song their craftsmanship is evident.

The only country song that has ever used the word "kolache."

YouTube video by Steve Goodman - Topic California Promises

I think Steve Goodman is due for a revival. Most of his songs have a gonzo tone, but sometimes he played it straight.

In the U.S. and Canada (this strip is Canadian), people often say A TON to mean any heavy weight. Could you help me with this beam of wood? It weighs a ton.

YouTube video by Chet Atkins - Topic The Odd Folks of Okracoke

Chet Atkins did material on the line between country and classical in the late 1960s and 1970s. Not much heard these days, but a lot of it is lovely.

YouTube video by Ray Wylie Hubbard - Topic Three Days Straight

An excellent take on the old "Three Nights Drunk." FWIW, I don't think James Garfield's funeral train went through Mobile.

YouTube video by buriedinvinyl The Friendly Undertaker - Jim Nesbitt

Possibly the only song in any genre about undertakers. Johnny Cash's "The Caretaker" is close, but this is more fun anyway.

There are lots of country music songs about dogs. But this may be the best.
