I love me some Ray. Both volumes of Modern Sounds in C&W Music are in my personal top 20 albums of all time list. I just think this one song, even with Johnny Cash’s presence, owes more to R&B than his country stuff. Splitting hairs? Probably. But I liked the recording too much to keep it out.

Ray Charles+Johnny Cash=non-country? Does this mean that Juli’s not part of the let’s-put-Ray-Charles-in-thteCMHOF crowd?

Roger Miller or Janis Joplin, I never cared much for the song. Give me “Darby’s Castle.”

Well, given that they’re still playing it today, the song seems to have survived the “assault”.

I was always partial to Roy Drusky’s excellent recording of “Jody and The Kid” – I’m sure someone must have done a pop cover of the song, but I can’t think of one.

I really do like Shawn Mullins’ version of “Sunday Morning Coming Down” – in fact I prefer it to the Johnny Cash rendition

I have always hated the Joplin recording of “Me and Bobby McGee”. At the time I thought she murdered the song. Forty years later I still think so

When FAS fits the category, count on it being in the top 5!

Could we get something straight?

This constant “crikey mate” thing, Rick. Are you somes orta furriner?

American minds possibly want to know. Or maybe not.
