I love her voice so much. The song is gorgeous in its melancholy tune and words.
Thank you.
GOOD MORNING SUSAN! Wonderful to see you back. Love the masthead. So beautiful.
Kentucky, yes. Lived there 2+ yrs while my husband went to grad school @ UK. We loved it. Lived on the Kentucky River in a lovely small house with a really big deck and land sloping down to the water. We were flooded out in Dec '79, just like people in the Mid-West are going through. I feel their pain.
We still own our land. The house washed away in the flood. We were very young so it seems like another life.
I used to have this album!
I wonder where it disappeared...
I had very little exposure to country music, bluegrass and the like, so it takes a bit of tuning for my ear to like it. But I liked this a lot. Googled her, and will listen to some more. Thanks, Susie!
Ruthie, I have always loved her voice, too. She has had some beautiful duets with Vince Gill that I also love. If all of country music sounded like her, I would still listen to it. Now it's just pop with twang.
Good morning, Debbie! *smile* You lived in the pretty and refined part of Kentucky...horse farms and rolling hills. The mountains in eastern Kentucky are rough and sometimes very harsh, but also with a wondrous beauty of their own. We traveled through there in April on our way to NC. Mountaintop coal mining is alive and well there. It's devastating to see whole tops of mountains just gone.
Will you ever settle again on your land in Kentucky? The Kentucky River is a beautiful place.
Sanna, you like country music?? You never mentioned it. Of course I like all types of music, but my roots are in the country, and in country music.
Deb, you're a woman of many tastes, and I might just develop your ear for some of country music. I have to confess, that I'm no much into the radio play of it these days...it doesn't even sound like country anymore...more like pop with really bad lyrics. But I do love traditional country music singers and songs. It speaks to my heart and soul.
I don't see us living there again although never say never. Our close friends, as you know, live in Ft. Mitchell. We haven't visited since the first time in 08 but I talk about it every damn year. I want to go to another Reds game, eat in the big city of Cincy, hit the Bourbon Trail and visit our land. Maybe this year.
A friend of mine was really into country and introduced me to it way back as teenagers. (I missed 2 years of 70s pop music thanks to Brenda before I slowly came back and diversified!) Country is the best road trip music in my opinion.
Debbie, and maybe work in a little visit with one of your Ohio pals? :))
Sanna, CM is the best kind of sing-a-long road music, for sure!
