Music Monday - F

2026-06-01T20:50:26Z

Back again with some more self-indulgent music recs...

Kicking off this week with one by New Grass Revival that always gets me dancing in my seat...

And a slower one by The Mavericks - RIP Raul Malo. What a great voice he had.

A great duet by Willie Nelson and Ray Price on an old Bob Wills song.

The late great Nanci Griffith.

Suzy Bogguss, with some help from the great Chet Atkins.

I love the video for this one by Dwight Yoakam. Those legs, those moves...

Got to have some Jimmy Buffet to warm me up this rainy evening.

Ending with a short but lively instrumental from Carlene Carter and her band.
