As for the songs that choke me up, <STRONG>I Feel The Blues Moving In</STRONG> never fails. The harmonies are so exquisite, I start singing along, only to gurgle and gasp by the last plaintive verse.Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-1141265421308844432006-03-01T21:10:00.000-05:002006-03-01T21:10:00.000-05:00Hey WP, based on your little throwaway remark, I p...Hey <B>WP</B>, based on your little throwaway remark, I picked up Slaid Cleaves' <B>Broke Down</B>. What a great album! I could see why you were kicking yourself about not listing any of the fine songs from the album that would have qualified as Hearbreakers. One song, "This Morning I Am Born Again" sounded familiar, and not because of the lyrics but due to the music arrangements.<BR/>I pulled out a <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006V6TLC/sr=8-1/qid=1141265038/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-8276379-5549656?%5Fencoding=UTF8" REL="nofollow">Ray Wylie Hubbard</A> cd he had put out last year, also on Philo. Lo and behold, there was "This Morning..." with Mr. Cleaves being credited for the music. He jumped in on vocals as well as did Gurf Morlix, who also produced this cd (and <B> Broke Down</B>, as you well know).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip. Enjoyed one of the comments on the cd from Tom & Ray Magliozzi, "Anybody who has the nerve to drive around in a Dodge Dart SPort is worth a listen." <B>"Lydia"</B> is exquisite. A box of Kleenex, for sure.DarkoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572734667248592785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-1140801991150606852006-02-24T12:26:00.000-05:002006-02-24T12:26:00.000-05:00Hanging is still LEGAL down around Langtry, is wha...Hanging is still LEGAL down around Langtry, is what I meant.

An inspired choice, indeed.<BR/><BR/>(an aside her, off in the corner where parantheses palces one's thoughts. No McGarrigle? No Roches?
