Ballads

Vern Gosdin and Keith Whitley.. you got some good taste.

Yep... I know talent when I see it... Gosdin and Whitley are legends... as is Alison Kraus...

Vern Gosdin was a BIG man with a smooth voice... he would fight you in a minute... by all accounts... you would rather hear him sing than fight him... he was a ******...

On the other hand... he was a gentle soul that helped out people in need... when he wasn't kicking ***...

Musicians are just too complicated...

Completely agree.

Also, I was talking about the song when I said she couldn't hold a candle to Keith's. Allison is a great artist.

Oh no.

My favorite of his is "Set Em Up Joe."

"Yesterday's Gone" was also great.

What's the definition of a "ballad"? Some of these songs I wouldn't think of as a ballad. However, here's another good one:

Ray Stevens - The Ballad of the Blue Cyclone, Part I and II.

I'm digging into my dad's old stuff. I've got "Romeo & Juliet" and "Portobello Belle" by Dire Straits and "Song for a Winter's Night" by Gordon Lightfoot in my Ipod's "Romantic" playlist. "I Dream of Chicago" by Parlours and "Nine Million Bicycles" by Katie Melua are in there too.

For the gantas...that think, "it ain't no thang...!

Ira Hayes...Ira Hayes.
Call him drunken Ira Hayes
He won't answer anymore.
Not a whiskey drinkin' indian
But a Marine who went to war...

Mr.Cash's version,of course.
