So continuing yesterday’s lis,t here are albums 6 through10 on an attempted list of my favorite all time “Folk” albums! 6. A1A – Jimmy Buffet – this album could easily be in the top five I wore it out in the 70′s listening to songs like “Door No. 3″ and of course “Nautical Wheelers” and [...]
This is an attempt to come up with a list of my favorite all time folk albums. More to come! 1. One of the first folk songs that I really loved was Jerry Jeff’s “Ramblin’ Scramblin’” I’d never heard a song like that and I was hooked! This album probably started it all I still [...]
So when we went out tonight for a quick trip to Home Goods, I noticed that “Fingernail” moon and my thoughts immediately went to one of my favorite singer-songwriters Mark Erelli and his song “Compass and Companion” that goes like this: (that’s Kelly Willis helping with the vocals) ” Out here on this road just [...]
So the last several days have been hectic around here. My wife has been finding some great deals on Craig’s List on furniture that we desperately need. The furniture we have survived many years of wear and tear of four kids and me! So Saturday we bought a new Thomasville entertainment center, big and heavy [...]

So I have been a Todd Snider Fan since I heard his debut album Songs For The Daily Planet. I love “Alright Guy” and all the rest and think that “You think You Know Somebody” is one of the best songs about child abuse EVER! Anyway, I think that the last CD I bought was [...]
So in between listening to new music over the last week, I also downloaded and listened to four of my all time favorite albums. John Prine and Steve Goodman’s second albums and one favorite each from Harry Chapin and Jesse Winchester. The first album was Steve Goodman’s second album Somebody Else’s Troubles. This may be [...]
Ok, so there may be light at the end of the tunnel and it may not be a train coming in the other direction! The Christmas rush is over and things may settle down a little. I tried to start a Best of 2010 list and listed around 100 albums that are still either on [...]
Today I listened to two albums from a couple of guys that I have been listening to for a long, long time John Prine and David Wilcox. I listened to the latest releases from each of them, first John Prine’s album Live & On Stage and then David Wilcox’s just released album Reverie So it’s [...]
