Grand Ole Opry
The Grand Ole Opry is a weekly country music stage concert in Nashville, Tennessee, that has presented the biggest stars of that genre since 1925. It is also among the longest-running broadcasts in history since its beginnings November 28, 1925, as a one-hour radio "barn dance" on WSM-AM. Dedicated to honoring country music and its history, the Opry showcases a mix of legends and contemporary chart-toppers performing country, bluegrass, folk, gospel, and comedic performances and skits. Considered an American icon, it attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world and millions of radio and Internet listeners. The Opry, today part of the American landscape, is "the show that made country music famous" and has been called the "home of American music" and "country’s most famous stage."
In the 1930s, the show began hiring professionals and expanded to four hours; and WSM-AM, broadcasting by then with 50,000 watts, made the program a Saturday night musical tradition in nearly 30 states. In 1939, it debuted nationally on NBC Radio. The Opry moved to a permanent home, the Ryman Auditorium, in 1943. As it developed in importance, so did the city of Nashville, which became America's "country music capital".

Alison Krauss
Alison Maria Krauss (born July 23, 1971) is an American bluegrass-country singer, songwriter and fiddler. She entered the music industry at an early age, winning local contests by the age of ten and recording for the first time at fourteen. She signed with Rounder Records in 1985 and released her first solo album in 1987. She was invited to join the band with which she still performs, Alison Krauss and Union Station (AKUS), and later released her first album with them as a group in 1989.
She has released fourteen albums, appeared on numerous soundtracks, and helped renew interest in bluegrass music in the United States. Her soundtrack performances have led to further popularity, including the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack, an album also credited with raising American interest in bluegrass, and the Cold Mountain soundtrack, which led to her performance at the 2004 Academy Awards. As of 2012, she has won 27 Grammy Awards from 41 nominations, making her the most awarded living recipient, and three back of the most honoured artist, classical conductor Sir Georg Solti. She is also the most awarded singer and the most awarded female artist in Grammy history. At the time of her first award, at the 1991 Grammy Awards, she was the second youngest winner ever (currently tied as third youngest).

Ashley Monroe
Ashley Monroe (born September 10, 1986 in Knoxville, Tennessee) is an American country music singer-songwriter. She has released two solo singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The singles "Satisfied" and "I Don't Want To" (which featured Brooks & Dunn singer Ronnie Dunn) reached #43 and #37, respectively. Both singles were intended to be released on Monroe's debut album, Satisfied, in 2007, but the album went unreleased. Soon after, Monroe left Columbia Records' roster in late 2007. Satisfied was finally released on May 19, 2009.
Monroe was born on September 10, 1986 in Knoxville, Tennessee. At age 11, she won a talent contest singing "I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart" in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., and found steady work at a theater there. While growing up, her parents played songs by the Eagles and Lynyrd Skynyrd, so her country rock roots started early on. Monroe's father died from cancer in 2000, when she was just 13. While still grieving over their loss, Monroe and her mother continued on with their lives and moved to Nashville so she could pursue her career in music.

Bill Monroe
William Smith Monroe (September 13, 1911 – September 9, 1996) was an American musician who created the style of music known as bluegrass, which takes its name from his band, the "Blue Grass Boys," named for Monroe's home state of Kentucky. Monroe's performing career spanned 60 years as a singer, instrumentalist, composer and bandleader. He is often referred to as The Father of Bluegrass.
Monroe was born on his family's farm near Rosine, Kentucky, the youngest of eight children of James Buchanan "Buck" and Malissa (Vandiver) Monroe. His mother and her brother, Pendleton "Pen" Vandiver, were both musically talented, and Monroe and his family grew up playing and singing at home. Bill was of Scottish heritage. Because his older brothers Birch and Charlie already played the fiddle and guitar, Bill Monroe was resigned to playing the less desirable mandolin. He recalled that his brothers insisted he remove four of the mandolin's eight strings so he would not play too loudly.
Monroe's mother died when he was ten, followed by his father six years later. As his brothers and sisters had moved away, after bouncing among uncles and aunts, Monroe settled in with his disabled uncle Pendleton Vandiver, often accompanying him when Vandiver played the fiddle at dances. This experience inspired one of Monroe's most famous compositions, "Uncle Pen," recorded in 1950, and the 1972 album, "Bill Monroe's Uncle Pen." On that album, Monroe recorded a number of traditional fiddle tunes he had often heard performed by Vandiver. Uncle Pen has been credited with giving Monroe "a repertoire of tunes that sank into Bill's aurally trained memory and a sense of rhythm that seeped into his bones." Also significant in Monroe's musical life was Arnold Shultz, an influential fiddler and guitarist who introduced Monroe to the blues.

Bobby Osborne
Bobby Osborne is a bluegrass musician known for his mandolin playing and high lead vocals.
Born December 7, 1931 in Leslie County, Kentucky, Bobby Osborne is known primarily for his collaborations with his brother Sonny Osborne in their band, the Osborne Brothers. He was a pioneer in conceiving the now-popular "high lead" vocal trio concept. He has released numerous recordings since the 1950s. The Osborne Brothers recordings of "Rocky Top", and "Kentucky" were named official state songs of Tennessee and Kentucky, respectively.
As of 2011[update], he continues an active performance schedule with his band, the Rocky Top X-Press.
The Osborne Brothers were made Grand Ole Opry members in 1964, and were inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Honor in 1994.

Brendan Benson
Brendan Benson (born November 14, 1970, Royal Oak, Michigan) is an American musician and songwriter. He sings and plays guitar, bass guitar, keyboard, and drums. He has released five solo albums and is a member of the band The Raconteurs.
His debut album, One Mississippi, was released in 1996 on Virgin Records. The album featured several contributions with Jason Falkner and gained many favourable reviews in the music press but failed to sell in sufficient numbers and Benson was dropped by Virgin. Brendan toured the states with the first incarnation of The Well Fed Boys featuring long time friend Woody Saunders on the drums and Topper Rimel (Robots In Disguise, The Origin) on Bass. The group shared a headline spot on their second US tour with Heatmiser, a Portland based group that included Elliott Smith, Tony Lash, Neil Gust and Brandt Peterson. Brendan and The Well Fed Boys also played several shows in Japan and a live performance on television in Paris before disbanding in '97.
In 2002 the follow-up to One Mississippi was released, Lapalco. Again the critical plaudits poured in, but this time the record enjoyed a certain degree of commercial success, selling more than three times as many copies than that of One Mississippi.[citation needed] The song "Good To Me" from this album appeared on the British show Teachers during series three and was included on the series soundtrack; it was also covered by The White Stripes for the B-side of the single Seven Nation Army. The song "Tiny Spark" featured on an episode from the fourth series and was also played in the movies Along Came Polly, and "World's Greatest Dad"

Bruce Randall Hornsby (born November 23, 1954) is an American singer, pianist, accordion player, and songwriter. Known for the spontaneity and creativity of his live performances, Hornsby draws frequently from classical, jazz, bluegrass, folk, Motown, rock, blues, and jam band musical traditions with his songwriting and the seamless improvisations contained within.
Hornsby's recordings have been recognised on a number of occasions with industry awards, including the Best New Artist Grammy in 1987 with Bruce Hornsby and the Range, the Best Bluegrass Recording Grammy in 1990, and the Best Pop Instrumental Grammy in 1993.
Hornsby has also achieved recognition for his solo albums and performances, his current live act Bruce Hornsby & the Noise Makers, his bluegrass project with Ricky Skaggs, his jazz act The Bruce Hornsby Trio, and his appearances as a session- and guest-musician. He also collaborated with the Grateful Dead and was a member of the band from September 1990 to March 1992, playing at many shows during this period in their history.

Clint Black
Clint Patrick Black (born February 4, 1962) is an American country music singer-songwriter, record producer, multi-instrumentalist and occasional actor. Signed to RCA Records in 1989, Black made his debut with his Killin' Time album, which produced four straight Number One singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts. Although his momentum gradually slowed throughout the 1990s, Black consistently charted hit songs into the 2000s. He has amassed more than 30 singles on the U.S. Billboard country charts (of which 13 have reached Number One), in addition to releasing nine studio albums and several compilation albums. In 2003, Black founded his own record label, Equity Music Group. Black has also ventured into acting, having made a cameo appearance in the 1994 film Maverick, as well as a starring role in 1998's Still Holding On: The Legend of Cadillac Jack.
Clint Black was born in Long Branch, New Jersey, the youngest of four children born to G.A. and Ann Black. The family moved back to Texas, where G.A. Black had been raised, before Clint was one year old. He was raised in Houston, Texas. Music was always present in the house. Black taught himself to play harmonica before he was 13, and at 14 wrote his first song. His father remarked that it was at that age that the parents "first noticed that he had a great voice". By 15, Black had learned to play guitar. As a teenager Black joined his elder brothers, Mark, Kevin and Brian, in their small band. On Saturday afternoons, the family would host backyard barbecues and invite the neighborhood to listen to the boys sing. Some weekends would attract up to 70 people. Black eventually dropped out of high school to play with his brothers, before becoming a solo act.

David Grisman
David Grisman (born March 23, 1945 in Hackensack, New Jersey) is an American bluegrass/newgrass mandolinist and composer of acoustic music. In the early 1990s, he started the Acoustic Disc record label to help spread acoustic and instrumental music.
Grisman grew up in a Conservative Jewish household in Hackensack, New Jersey. He started his musical career in 1963 as a member of Even Dozen Jug Band. His nickname "Dawg" was affectionately assigned by his close friend Jerry Garcia in 1973 (the two met in 1964 at a Bill Monroe show at Sunset Park in West Grove, Pennsylvania). "Dawg Music" is what he calls his mixture of bluegrass and Django Reinhardt/Stéphane Grappelli-influenced jazz, as highlighted on his album Hot Dawg (recorded Oct. 1978, released 1979). Stephane Grappelli played on a couple of tracks on Hot Dawg and then the 1981 recording Stephane Grappelli and David Grisman Live. It was Grisman's combination of Reinhardt-era Jazz, bluegrass, folk, Old World Mediterranean string band music, as well as modern Jazz fusion that came to embody "Dawg" music.

Dwight Yoakam
Dwight David Yoakam (born October 23, 1956) is an American singer-songwriter, actor and film director, most famous for his pioneering country music. Popular since the early 1980s, he has recorded more than twenty-one albums and compilations, charted more than thirty singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, and sold more than 25 million records.
Yoakam was born in Pikeville, Kentucky, the son of Ruth Ann, a key-punch operator, and David Yoakam, a gas-station owner. He was raised in Columbus, Ohio. He graduated from Columbus's Northland High School in 1974. During his high school years, he excelled in both music and drama, regularly securing the lead role in school plays, such as "Charlie" in a stage version of Flowers for Algernon, honing his skills under the guidance of teacher-mentors Jerry McAfee (music) and Charles Lewis (drama). Outside of school, Yoakam sang and played guitar with local garage bands, and entertained his friends and classmates with his impersonations, such as Richard Nixon, who, at the time, was heavily embroiled in the Watergate controversy.

Earl Scruggs
Earl Eugene Scruggs (January 6, 1924 – March 28, 2012) was an American musician noted for perfecting and popularizing a three-finger banjo-picking style (now called "Scruggs style") that is a defining characteristic of bluegrass music. Although other musicians had played in three-finger style before him, Scruggs shot to prominence when he was hired by Bill Monroe to fill the banjo slot in his group, the Blue Grass Boys.
Scruggs was born near Shelby, Cleveland County, North Carolina, to Georgia Lula Ruppe and George Elam Scruggs, a farmer and bookkeeper, who played banjo and died when Scruggs was four years old. His older brothers, Junie and Horace, plus his two older sisters, Eula Mae and Ruby, all played banjo and guitar. Scruggs' mother played the organ. He grew up in Cleveland County, North Carolina.
Scruggs joined Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys in late 1945, and quickly popularized his syncopated, three-finger picking style. In 1948 Scruggs and guitarist Lester Flatt left Monroe's band and formed the Foggy Mountain Boys, also later known simply as Flatt and Scruggs. In 1969, they broke up, and he started a new band, the Earl Scruggs Revue, featuring several of his sons.

Keith Whitley
Jackie Keith Whitley (July 1, 1954 — May 9, 1989), known professionally as Keith Whitley, was an American country music singer. Whitley's brief career in mainstream country music lasted from 1984 until his death in 1989, but he continues to influence an entire generation of singers and songwriters. He charted 19 singles on the Billboard country charts, including five consecutive Number Ones: "Don't Close Your Eyes", "When You Say Nothing at All", "I'm No Stranger to the Rain", "I Wonder Do You Think of Me" and "It Ain't Nothin'" (the last two posthumously).
Whitley was born to Faye (editor of The Elliott County News) and Elmer Whitley (an electrician) in Ashland, Kentucky, but grew up 46 miles away in Sandy Hook, and attended Sandy Hook High School. He had two brothers, Randy and Dwight, and a sister, Mary. The Whitley family has lived in the Elliot County area since the 1840s.
As a teenager in Sandy Hook, Whitley and his friends would pass the time drinking bootleg bourbon and racing their cars down mountain roads at dangerous speeds. Whitley was once in a car whose driver attempted to round a curve at 120 mph. The car wrecked, killing his friend and almost breaking Whitley's neck. In another incident, he drove his car off a 120 foot cliff into a frozen river, escaping with only a broken collar bone.

Lester Flatt
Lester Raymond Flatt (June 19, 1914 – May 11, 1979) was a bluegrass musician and guitarist and mandolinist, best known for his membership in the Bluegrass duo The Foggy Mountain Boys, also known as "Flatt and Scruggs," with banjo picker Earl Scruggs. Flatt's career spanned multiple decades; besides his work with Scruggs, he released multiple solo and collaboration works. Flatt also served as a member of Bill Monroe's band during the 1940s.
Flatt was born in Duncan's Chapel, Overton County, Tennessee, to Nannie Mae Haney and Isaac Columbus Flatt. A singer and guitarist, he first came to prominence as a member of Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys in 1945. In 1948 he started a band with fellow Monroe alumnus Earl Scruggs, and for the next twenty years Flatt and Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys were one of the most successful bands in bluegrass. When they parted ways in 1969, Flatt formed a new group, the Nashville Grass, hiring most of the Foggy Mountain Boys. His role as lead singer and rhythm guitar player in each of these seminal ensembles helped define the sound of traditional bluegrass music. He created a role in the Bluegrass Boys later filled by the likes of Jimmy Martin, Mac Wiseman, Peter Rowan and Del McCoury. His rich lead voice is unmistakable in hundreds of bluegrass standards.

Marty Stuart
John Marty Stuart (born September 30, 1958) is an American country music singer-songwriter, known for both his traditional style, and eclectic merging of rockabilly, honky tonk, and traditional country music. In the early 1990s, he had a successful string of Country hits.
Born as John Martin Stuart in Philadelphia, Mississippi on September 30, 1958, Marty Stuart has become known as one of country music's most eclectic artists, because he performs and records several widely diverse types of country music. He is of French, English, Choctaw, and Colombian descent. That is one of his reasons for his success in the 1990s, just when Traditionalism was making a comeback in country music.
From an early age, he was obsessed with country music. He was so obsessed, in fact, that he taught himself how to play the guitar and mandolin. At the age of 12, Stuart started performing with the bluegrass group The Sullivans. He later met Lester Flatt bandmember Roland White. White invited Stuart to play with him and the Nashville Grass at the Labor Day gig in Delaware in 1972. After this, White asked him to join the band permanently and Stuart accepted. This made White responsible for the rest of Stuart's education. Marty stayed with Lester Flatt until Flatt broke up the band in 1978 due to his failing health.

Merle Haggard
Merle Ronald Haggard (born April 6, 1937) is an American country music song writer, singer, guitarist, fiddler and instrumentalist. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band The Strangers helped create the Bakersfield sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Fender Telecaster and the unique mix with the traditional country steel guitar sound, new vocal harmony styles in which the words are minimal, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville Sound recordings of the same era.
By the 1970s, Haggard was aligned with the growing outlaw country movement, and has continued to release successful albums through the 1990s and into the 2000s. In 1997, Merle Haggard was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame.
Merle Haggard was born in Oildale, California, in 1937. His parents, James Francis and Flossie Mae (née Harp) Haggard, moved from Oklahoma to California during the Great Depression. At that time, much of the population of Bakersfield consisted of migrant workers from Oklahoma and surrounding states. Haggard spent his childhood in Oildale, a hardscrabble suburb of Bakersfield home to many workers in the adjacent Kern River Oil Field. His maternal grandmother, Martha Arizona Belle "Zona" Villines Harp (1881-1971), is the subject of his 1972 hit "Grandma Harp."

Pam Tillis
Pamela Yvonne "Pam" Tillis (born July 24, 1957 in Plant City, Florida) is an American country music singer-songwriter and actress. She is the daughter of country music singer Mel Tillis.
Originally a demo singer in Nashville, Tennessee, Pam was signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1981, with nine singles and a studio album being released in the 1980s. She later found work as a staff songwriter for Tree Publishing. By 1991, she had signed to Arista Records; that year, she reached Top 5 on the Billboard country charts with "Don't Tell Me What to Do", the first of five singles from her second album, Put Yourself in My Place, which was certified gold by the RIAA.
Between 1991 and the present, Tillis has charted more than 30 singles on the U.S. Billboard country charts, including her only Number One single, 1995's "Mi Vida Loca (My Crazy Life)". She has also released ten albums overall (nine studio albums plus a Greatest Hits compilation), with three platinum and two gold certifications. She has also founded her own label, Stellar Cat Records.

Patty Loveless
Patty Loveless (born Patty Lee Ramey, January 4, 1957), is an American country music singer.
Since her emergence on the country music scene in late 1986 with her first (self-titled) album, Loveless has been one of the most popular female singers of the Neotraditional country movement, although she has also recorded albums in the Country pop and Bluegrass genres.
Loveless was born in Pikeville, Kentucky, and was raised in Elkhorn City, Kentucky and Louisville, Kentucky and rose to stardom thanks to her blend of honky tonk and country-rock, not to mention a plaintive, emotional ballad style. Her late-1980s records were generally quite popular, earning her comparisons to Patsy Cline, but most critics agreed that she truly came into her own as an artist in the early 1990s.
To date, Loveless has charted more than forty singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including five Number Ones. In addition, she has recorded fourteen studio albums (not counting compilations); in the United States, four of these albums have been certified platinum, while two have been certified gold.

Ralph Stanley
Ralph Stanley (born February 25, 1927), also known as Dr. Ralph Stanley, is an American bluegrass artist, known for his distinctive singing and banjo playing.
Ralph Edmond Stanley was born, grew up, and lives today in rural southwestern Virginia—"in a little town called McClure at a place called Big Spraddle, just up the holler" from where he moved in 1936 and has lived ever since in Dickenson County. The son of Lee and Lucy Stanley, Ralph did not grow up around a lot of music in his home. As he says, his "daddy didn't play an instrument, but sometimes he would sing church music. And I'd hear him sing songs like 'Man of Constant Sorrow,' 'Pretty Polly' and 'Omie Wise.'"
He learned to play the banjo, clawhammer style, from his mother:
He graduated from high school on May 2, 1945 and was inducted into the Army on May 16, serving "little more than a year." He immediately began performing when he got home:
After initially considering a course in "veterinary," he decided to throw in with his older guitar-playing brother, Carter, and form the Clinch Mountain Boys, in 1946. Drawing heavily on the musical traditions of the area, which included the unique minor-key singing style of the Primitive Baptist Universalist church and the sweet down-home family harmonies of the Carter Family, the Stanleys began playing on local radio stations. They first performed at Norton, Virginia's WNVA, but didn't stay long there, moving on instead to Bristol, Virginia and WCYB to start the show Farm and Fun Time where they stayed "off and on for 12 years."

Randy Travis
Randy Travis (Born May 4, 1959) is an American country music singer and actor. Since 1985, he has recorded 20 studio albums and charted more than 30 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, and 22 of these were number one hits. Considered a pivotal figure in the history of country music, Travis broke through in the mid-1980s with the release of his album Storms of Life, which sold more than three million copies. The album established him as a major force in the Neotraditional country movement. Travis followed up his successful debut with a string of platinum and multi-platinum albums.
By the mid-1990s, Travis saw a decline in his chart success. In 1997, he left Warner Bros. Records for DreamWorks Records and changed his musical focus to gospel music. Although the career shift produced only one more number one country hit "Three Wooden Crosses", Travis went on to earn several Dove awards, including Album of the Year three times. In addition to his singing career, Travis pursued an acting career, appearing in numerous films and television series, including The Rainmaker (1997) with Matt Damon, Texas Rangers (2001) with James Van Der Beek, and seven episodes of the Touched by an Angel television series. Travis has sold over 25 million records, and has earned 22 number one hits, 6 number one albums, 6 Grammy awards, 6 CMA awards, 9 ACM awards, 10 AMA awards, 7 Dove awards, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In his mid-teens, Skaggs met a fellow teen prodigy, guitarist Keith Whitley, and the two started playing together with Whitley's banjoist brother Dwight on radio shows. By 1970, they had earned a spot opening for Ralph Stanley and Skaggs and Keith Whitley were thereafter invited to join Stanley's band, the Clinch Mountain Boys
Skaggs later joined The Country Gentlemen in Washington, DC, J. D. Crowe's New South. For a few years, Skaggs was a member of Emmylou Harris's Hot Band.

Sam Bush
Sam Bush (born April 13, 1952 in Bowling Green, Kentucky) is an American bluegrass mandolin player considered an originator of the Newgrass style.
Sam Bush was exposed to country and bluegrass music at an early age through his father Charlie's record collection, and later by the Flatt & Scruggs television show. Buying his first mandolin at the age of 11, his musical interest was further piqued when he attended the inaugural Roanoke, VA Bluegrass Festival in 1965. As a teen Bush took first place three times in the junior division of the National Oldtime Fiddler's Contest in Weiser, ID. He joined guitarist Wayne Stewart, his mentor and music teacher during Sam's teen years, and banjoist Alan Munde (later of Country Gazette) and the three recorded an instrumental album, Poor Richard's Almanac, in 1969. In the spring of 1970, Bush attended the Fiddlers Convention at Union Grove, NC, and was inspired by the rock-flavored progressive bluegrass of the New Deal String Band. Later that year, he moved to Louisville and joined the Bluegrass Alliance. In the fall of 1971, the band dissolved and reformed as the New Grass Revival.

Tony Rice
Tony Rice (born David Anthony Rice, June 8, 1951, Danville, Virginia) is an American acoustic guitarist and bluegrass musician. He is considered one of the most influential acoustic guitar players in bluegrass, progressive bluegrass, newgrass and acoustic jazz.
Rice spans the range of acoustic music, from traditional bluegrass to jazz-influenced New Acoustic music, to songwriter-oriented folk. Over the course of his career, he has played alongside J. D. Crowe and the New South, David Grisman (during the formation of “Dawg Music”) and Jerry Garcia, led his own Tony Rice Unit, collaborated with Norman Blake, recorded with his brothers Wyatt, Ron and Larry and co-founded the Bluegrass Album Band. He has recorded with drums, piano, soprano sax, as well as with traditional bluegrass instrumentation.
Rice was born in Danville, Virginia but grew up in Los Angeles, California, where he was introduced to bluegrass by his father, a semi-professional musician named Herb Rice. Tony and his brothers learned the fundamentals of bluegrass and country music from hot L.A. pickers like the Kentucky Colonels, led by Roland and Clarence White. Clarence White in particular became a huge influence on Tony Rice. Crossing paths with fellow enthusiasts like Ry Cooder, Herb Pedersen and Chris Hillman reinforced the strength of the music he had learned from his father.

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus name
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
When He shall come with trumpet sound
O may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
Have you found, since you've turned me down,
The one that you were searching for?
Are you glad that you made me sad,
For you know I vowed to love you ever more.
What did you have in mind,
When you broke this heart of mine?
Are you laughing in my face?
Darlin', what can I do,
When you tell me we are through?
You've left a wound, time can't erase.
Tell me, dear, are you satisfied,
To be footloose and fancy free?
Is it power you want,
Or the things you have done?
What you've gained, I guess I'll never see.
What did you have in mind,
When you broke this heart of mine?
Are you laughing in my face?
Darlin', what can I do,
When you tell me we are through?
You've left a wound, time can't erase.
Talk about suffering here below
And let's keep a-followin' Jesus
Talk about suffering here below
And let's keep a-lovin' Jesus
The gospel train is comin'
Now don't you want to go
And leave this world of sorrow
And troubles here below
Oh, can't you hear it father?
And don't you want to go
And leave this world of sorrow
And troubles here below
Talk about suffering here below
And let's keep a-followin' Jesus
Talk about suffering here below
And let's keep a-lovin' Jesus
Oh, can't you hear it mother?
Now don't you want to go
And leave this world of sorrow
And troubles here below
The gospel train is comin'
Now don't you want to go
And leave this world of sorrow
Sweet temptation that's what you are to me
That's all you'll always be it seems
Sweet temptation, you smile and pass me by
But still you occupy my dreams
Now maybe I've got lots of hidden charms
You'd find it if you just hold me in your arms
But you're just sweet temptation, a diamond in the rough
You make it, oh, so tough for me
Sweet temptation, so most delicious peach
It's always out of reach they say
Sweet temptation, you're just a little flirt
You know you might get hurt that way
Now someday you may make a big surprise
By someone who will make you realize
That you're just sweet temptation, a diamond in the rough
I've been living a new way,
All the life that I love so.
But I can see the clouds are gathering,
And the storm will wreck our home.
For last night he held you tightly,
And you didn't even shove.
This is true for I was watching,
From the window up above.
You must have thought that I was sleeping,
And I wish that I had been.
But it's best to get to know you,
And the way your heart can sin.
I thought we belonged together,
And our hearts fit like a glove.
I was wrong for I've been watching,
From the window up above.
From my eyes, a teardrop started,
As I listened on and on.
I heard you whisper to him, softly,
And our marriage was all wrong.
Well, I hope he makes you happy,
And you'll never lose his love.
I lost mine while I was watching,
From the window above.
How I wish I could be dreamin',
And wake up to a love that's true.
I lost mine while I was watching,
Two highways lay before me
Which one would I choose?
Down one lane I'd find happiness
And down the other I would lose
There is no one that I can trust
I must decide alone
My decision is an awful one
Which road will take me home?
[Chorus:]
In the mornin' would I wake to find
Down the wrong road I had gone?
Will I hear the melodies
I've searched for oh so long
Only time will tell
If I have made a loser's choice
Hello sadness, cries my inner soul
Goodbye lover, moans my voice
Perils today are many
As I set out on my way
If I lose your love, I know that I
Can't call it back someday
Rambler, lonely rambler
Just calls any place his home
But Nashville's lights
How beautiful you shine
Wishing now that you had found
A word or two to say
But the morning came and we both knew
My eyes gave it away
As I kissed your cheeks and said goodbye
I thought, only time will tell
And you can't draw water from an empty well
[Chorus:]
TIME IS A BANDIT
(Mark D. Sanders - Lisa Silver - Randy Albright)
« © '97 MCA Music »
Darling darling have you seen us
Just tryin' to find one hour in twenty four twenty four
To dedicate to the love between us
Before one of us is up and out the door out the door
Time is a bandit time is a thief
It's lyin' under handed tryin' to steal you away from me
We'd better treasure the precious moments
We live so fast they're few and far between far between
And when we have a chance for a little romance
We'd better lock the clock outside and hide the key hide the key
Time is a bandit time is a thief...
There's more pretty girls than one
More pretty girls than one
Any old town that I ramble all around in
There's more pretty girls than one
Mama talked to me last night
She gave to me some good advice
She said, son you ought to quit this old ramblin' all around
And marry you a sweet loving wife
There's more pretty girls than one
More pretty girls than one
Any old town that I ramble all around in
There's more pretty girls than one
Honey, look down that old lonesome road
Hang down your pretty head and cry
'Cause I'm thinking all about them pretty little gals
And hoping that I'll never die
There's more pretty girls than one
More pretty girls than one
Any old town that I ramble all around in
There's more pretty girls than one
There's more pretty girls than one
More pretty girls than one
Any old town that I ramble all around in
STRAIGHT TO YOU
(George Teren - Lee Saterfield)
« © '92 Screen Gems-EMI Music »
I have stumbled and I have complained on this rough and rocky road
I've been humbled caught out in the rain and it's chilled me to the bone
Now I've seen my dreams scatter like leaves lost in the wind
And if I could do it over I'd go through it all again
Cause every path I haven't chosen every heart that wasn't true
Every door that wouldn't open led me straight to you
I've been lonely I've held on to love I was never meant to have
No one told me till I let go love would stay beyond my grasp
Well it took a little heartache and it took a lot of time
But the love I didn't look for is the best I'll ever find
Cause every path I haven't chosen...
Cause every path I haven't chosen...
Every hour I've felt forsaken every storm I've struggled through
Every chance I've ever taken led me straight to you
I never thought I'd need you
But now I find I'm wrong
Come on back, sweet Mama
Back where you belong
I've rambled over town
To find that I can't win
Come on back and pick me up again
Now if I lose (if I lose)
Let me lose (let me lose)
I don't care (I don't care)
How much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars
While I'm tryin' to win a dime
My baby, she's got money all the time
Of all the other gals I've known
There's none to take your place
'Cause when I get into a jam
They just ain't in the race
So now that you're back here
Let's take another round
With you here by my side
Babe, the deal just can't go down
Now if I lose (if I lose)
Let me lose (let me lose)
I don't care (I don't care)
How much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars
While I'm tryin' to win a dime
My baby, she's got money all the time
Now if I lose (if I lose)
Let me lose (let me lose)
I don't care (I don't care)
How much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars
While I'm tryin' to win a dime
Oh, the people would come from far away
To dance all night to the break of day
When the caller would holler, "Do Si Do"
They knew Uncle Pen was ready to go
Late in the evening, about sundown
High on the hill, an' above the town
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing
Well, he played an old tune they called the "Soldier's Joy"
And he played the one they called the "Boston Boy"
Greatest of all was the "Jennie Lynn"
To me, that's where the fiddlin' begins
Late in the evening, about sundown
High on the hill, an' above the town
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing
I'll never forget that mournful day
When old Uncle Pen was called away
He hung up his fiddle and he hung up his bow
And he knew it was time for him to go
Late in the evening, about sundown
High on the hill, an' above the town
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing
Late in the evening, about sundown
High on the hill, an' above the town
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang
I wandered again to my home in the mountains
Where in youth's early dawn I was happy and free
I looked for my friends, but I never could find them
I found they were all rank strangers to me
Everybody I met (everybody I met)
Seemed to be a rank stranger (seemed to be a rank stranger)
No mother nor dad (no mother or dad)
Not a friend could I see (not a friend could I see)
They knew not my name (they knew not my name)
And I knew not their faces (and I knew not their faces)
I found they were all (I found they were all)
Rank strangers to me (rank strangers to me)
"They've all moved away," said the voice of a stranger
"To a beautiful land by the bright crystal sea"
Some beautiful day I'll meet 'em in heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me
Everybody I met (everybody I met)
Seemed to be a rank stranger (seemed to be a rank stranger)
No mother nor dad (no mother or dad)
Not a friend could I see (not a friend could I see)
They knew not my name (they knew not my name)
And I knew not their faces (and I knew not their faces)
I found they were all (I found they were all)
Drive time traffic in the pourin' rain
Six car pile up in the passin' lane
Can't help thinkin' while I shake my fist
Life's too long to live like this
Mailbox fillin' up with bills to pay
Bossman hangin' on my back all day
Gonna work me to the bone I guess
Life's too long to live like this
Come here baby give your man a hug
All we got that they can't take his love
[Incomprehensible] ain't got much to lose
But these stay good, stay home, way too way long blues
Ain't no future in this TV guide
Ain't no reason we should stay inside
Someone's havin' all the fun we've missed
Life's too long to live like this
Come here baby give your man a hug
All we got that they can't take his love
[Incomprehensible] ain't got much to lose
But these stay good, stay home, way too, way long blues
Well life's too long, yeah life's too long
Come here baby give your man a kiss
Life's too long to live like this
Life's too long, life's too long
Come here baby give your man a kiss
Life's too long to live like this
Life's too long, life's too long
Come here baby give your man a kiss
Got tired of livin' in that one horse town
When to that station flagged that hummingbird down
I didn't even call to say goodbye
I couldn't stand to see that little girl cry
And now I'm off to the city gonna make my name
Those lights were callin' me to fortune and fame
I had to ride that hummingbird
Just let me ride that hummingbird
I'm gonna make it now just any day
I've got my guitar and I came to play
Lyin' here lonely knowin' what I lost
My heart keeps asking was it worth the cost
And now, ain't it funny how that always seems
Once you're standing there, the grass ain't so green
I had to ride that hummingbird
Why did I ride that hummingbird
Oh today she called me on the telephone
She said, "Hey country boy, you been gone too long"
And now I'm standin' at the station looking down the line
Here comes that hummingbird, she's right on time
I'm gonna ride that hummingbird
Just let me ride that hummingbird
The wind is blowin' around my cabin
I hate to hear that mournful sound
I'm all alone and so downhearted
Since my true love ain't around
I hate to see that sun a-sinkin'
Another night to toss and turn
Another night to dream about her
Another night for her I'll yearn
She had no cause to go and leave me
For I had never done her wrong
She left her home and little children
Out with another man she's gone
I hate to see that sun a-sinkin'
Another night to toss and turn
Another night to dream about her
Another night for her I'll yearn
The children, they are sound a-sleepin'
They don't know their mother's gone
What will I do when they awaken?
Can I tell them of their mother's wrong?
I hate to see that sun a-sinkin'
Another night to toss and turn
Another night to dream about her
Hallelujah, I'm ready
I can hear the voices singing soft and low
Hallelujah, I'm ready
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.
--- Instrumental ---
In the darkness of night not a star was in sight
On a highway that leads down below
Then Jesus came in and saved my soul from sin
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.
Hallelujah, I'm ready
I can hear the voices singing soft and low
Hallelujah, I'm ready
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.
--- Instrumental ---
Sinners don't wait before it's too late
He's a wonderful Saviour you know
Well I fell on my knees when I answered my pleas
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.
Hallelujah, I'm ready
I can hear the voices singing soft and low
Hallelujah, I'm ready
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.
--- Instrumental ---
Hallelujah, I'm ready
I can hear the voices singing soft and low
Hallelujah, I'm ready
Hallelujah, I'm ready to go.
Hallelujah, I'm ready
I can hear the voices singing soft and low
Hallelujah, I'm ready
You say I've done you wrong,
I've wrecked the happy home.
We've tried so many times, we both know when.
Let's take another chance,
To renew an old romance.
And if we love each other, time will tell.
Oh, I know, dear, what it means to live without you.
These lonely nights are drivin' me insane.
But before I'll hurt the one I love so dearly,
When people ask what's wrong, I'll take the blame.
Instrumental break.
Well, I know, dear, what it means to live without you.
These lonely nights are drivin' me insane.
But before I'll hurt the one I love so dearly,
When people ask what's wrong, I'll take the blame.
Now you just told me that you're leaving
On the next train coming down
I love you dear but I won't follow
I just think I'll stay around
For I know someday you'll want me
When your true love can't be found
But if you go dear I won't follow
I just think I'll stay around
You know my dear I'll always love you
And I'd never let you down
But if you go dear I won't follow
I just think I'll stay around
Someday you'll hear that whistle blowing
On the special coming down
You'll be looking for me baby
Children go where I send thee (Oh Lordy)
How will I send thee
Oh, I'm gonna send thee one by one.
One for the little bitty baby
That was born, born, born
In Bethlehem.
Children go where I send thee (Oh Lordy)
How will I send thee
Oh, I'm gonna send thee two by two
For Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
That was born, born, born
In Bethlehem.
Children go where I send thee (Oh Lordy)
How will I send thee
Oh, I'm gonna send thee by three
Three was the Hebrew children
Four was the four that stood at the door
Five was the five that came back alive
Six was the six that didn't get picked
Seven was the seven that never got to heaven
Eight was the eight that waited at the gate
Nine was the nine that stood in the line
Looking back at a page in time
The year was 1859
We ran deep in the souther pines
'Neath that Alabama Clay
Charlie and Johnny were brothers in blood
Nothing stronger than family love
The cotton was short and times were tough
So they went through seperate ways
Charlie moved north to work in corn
But Johnny he stayed south
And after being apart a couple of years
Civil war broke out
Well both of the brothers they were volunteers
After fighting each other for all those years
But if it came to fighting they had no fears
They had seen their share of fists
Then they got the news how it would be
The brothers had agreed to disagree
Is like taking an axe to the family tree
Never dreamed it would come to this
Charlie put on the union blue
And Johnny the rebel grey
But each one pray his brother'd live
The fight another day
As dawn was breaking on the battle field
Through the canon smoke and the foggy hills
A shot rang out from the cold blue steele
Charlie held in his shakin' hands
And after the fight while countin' the cost
There was more that day than a battle lost
When under a tree line in the moss
Charlie came upon a young man
And as he wiped the mud and blood away
It took more than his breath
'Cause the soldier in his sights that day
Oft' my thoughts drift back to childhood
To the time when I was free
As I played before the fireside
'Round my darling mother's knee.
There's a blessed home up yonder
Where my loved ones wait for me
I saw mother in a vision
Kneeling there to pray for me.
--- Instrumental ---
Then one day our mother left us
Daddy said she'd gone to rest
I remember how she loved me
As she clutched me to her breast.
There's a blessed home up yonder
Where my loved ones wait for me
I saw mother in a vision
Kneeling there to pray for me.
--- Instrumental ---
Some sweet day I'll meet you mother
Your little boy is commin' home
To see you as in days of childhood
The one you loved and left alone.
There's a blessed home up yonder
Where my loved ones wait for me
I saw Mother in a vision
I live a simple life
I work all day I sleep all night
A couple kids that need a nap
Big dog and a little cat
Wife that barks but rarely bites
So I live the simple life.
I live a simple life
A good coat when the cold winds bite
Leather boots for my bare feet
Now and then a steak to eat
I pick with the boys on Friday night
So I live a simple life.
Chorus:
My favorite book was wrote about
A man that died to save my soul
And my favorite thing to hear is
Daddy, I’m so glad you home
And my favorite woman is 5’3”
With long black hair and green eyes
Still I live a simple life.
--- Instrumental ---
I live a simple life
Couple of friends I really like
A little house outside of town
An old car that gets me around
Complications may arise
But I live a simple life.
And I live a simple life
Cell phone when my old car dies
The Internet to show me where
GPS to get me there
Everywhere there’s satellites
Oh, I live a simple life.
Chorus:
My favorite book was wrote about
A man that died to save my soul
And my favorite thing to hear is
Daddy, I’m so glad you home
And my favorite woman is 5’3”
With long black hair and green eyes
Can't you hear the night birds cryin'
Can't you hear that lonesome dove
Sayin' won't you come back darlin'
To the only one you love.
Meet me out on the mountain
Underneath the lonesome pine
Where we vowed we'd love each other
Darlin', say won't you be mine.
Where the moun-tain laurel's bloomin'
And the wild-wood blossom grows
There we vowed to love each other
In our child-hood long ago.
There I left my little darlin'
Lord I've rambled for so long
Many times I've prayed to see her
AIN'T LOVE A GOOD THING
(Dallas Frazier)
« © '73 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Blues go ahead and knock upon my door you can't hurt me anymore
Um-um ain't love a good thing
Rain go ahead and let it rain all night in the morning I'll be dry
Um-um ain't love a good thing
Ain't it good to know love can take away the rain
And make the sunshine again
And ain't it good to know love can take a lonely dream
And turn it into a real thing
Um-um ain't love a good thing um-um ain't love a good thing
Pain find yourself another heart to ache and another mind to break
Um-um ain't love a good thing
Time find yourself another fool to waste and another place to stay
Um-um ain't love a good thing
Ain't it good to know...
Um-um ain't love a good thing
Ain't love a good thing good thing
You Make Me Feel Like a Man
Verse 1Well, It's so good to see your face again.
It's so good to hold your hand.
And it's so good to kiss your lips again.
You make me feel like a man.
Verse 2Well, it's so good to see you smile again.
It's so good to taste your tears.
And it's so good to call you mine again.
We've grown closer through the years.
BridgeOur love is deeper than an ocean.
Our love is higher than the sky.
Our love, it fills me with emotion.
I see forever in your eyes.
INST
BridgeOur love is sweeter than the flowers.
Our love is stronger than any wind.
And as I love you through the hours.
My heart will always sing this song again -- and again.
Verse 1It's so good to see your face again.
It's so good to hold your hand.
And it's so good to kiss your lips again.
You make me feel--
You make me feel--
You make me feel like a man.
Is it true that I've lost you?
Am I not the only one?
After all this pain and sorrow
Darlin', think of what you've done
Heart to heart, dear, how I need you
Like the flowers need the dew
Lovin' you has been my life blood
I can't believe we're really through
Is it true that I've lost you?
Am I not the only one?
After all this pain and sorrow
Darlin', think of what you've done
I look back to old Virginia
Where the mountains meet the skies
In those hills, I learned to love you
Let me stay there till I die
Is it true that I've lost you?
Am I not the only one?
After all this pain and sorrow
Darlin', think of what you've done
Is it true that I've lost you?
Am I not the only one?
After all this pain and sorrow
I've sent bouquets for Mother's Day
For Father's Day, a shirt and a card
While they came from the heart
They all fell short of saying how special you both are
It wasn't till I was up and gone
Married with a couple of kids of my own
Doing what mamas and daddies do
That I realized what I must have put you through
So thanks again for the love in the cradle
And all of the changes that kept me dry
And thanks again for the love at our table
And tannin' my bottom when I told you a lie
For takin' me fishin' and flyin' my kites
And tuckin' me in, yes, night after night
To my beautiful life long friends
Hey, Mom and Daddy, thanks again
I'm still a young man, least I think I am
But I'm watchin' my own hair turn gray
And your call last Sunday brought to mind
That I owe you a debt, I can never repay
So thanks again for worryin' and waitin'
When I started datin' on weekend nights
And thanks again for the help with my homework
And sittin' up with me till I got it right
Your car for the prom, your letters in 'Nam
But most of all, Daddy, for marryin' Mom
To my beautiful life long friends
Hey, Mom and Daddy, thanks again
To my beautiful life long friends
Hey, Mom and Daddy, thanks again
I'd pretend it was over
But over was a word I couldn't take
Each time I thought I'd left you
Well I'd find my way back to you the next day
I was foolish to think
That I could leave you for good
At times I thought I might
But now I know I never could
It's that same ol', same ol' love
All forgiving sent from up above
And your same ol', same ol' love
Is all I need, yes, I'll never get enough
Of your same ol' love
Other girls would have left me
If I had so much as said the word goodbye
But you stood there patiently
And watched my leaving turn into a lie
Heaven knows the kind of magic here
That keeps me hangin' on
As long as you're holding me
I know I can't go wrong
It's that same ol', same ol' love
All forgiving sent from up above
And your same ol', same ol' love
Is all I need, yes, I'll never get enough
Of your same ol' love
There's no chance of doing better
Or finding someone new
'Cause the truth is they don't make
Them any better than you
It's that same ol', same ol' love
All forgiving sent from up above
And your same ol', same ol' love
Is all I need, yes, I'll never get enough
It's your same ol', same ol' love
All forgiving sent from up above
And your same ol', same ol' love
Is all I need, yes, I'll never get enough
Of your same ol' love
Your same ol' love
Oh, your same ol' love
No matter what I say or do
You're never satisfied
I've tried and tried so many times
I'm leavin' you now, goodbye
I'm ridin' on that midnight train
My head's a-hangin' low
These awful blues will follow me
Wherever I may go
Oh, why on earth was I ever born?
I'll never understand
To fall in love with a woman like you
In love with another man
I'm ridin' on that midnight train
My head's a-hangin' low
These awful blues will follow me
Wherever I may go
You broke the heart that trusted you
Why wasn't it made of stone?
I'm left in a world black as night
Yet I must travel on
I'm ridin' on that midnight train
My head's a-hangin' low
These awful blues will follow me
Wherever I may go
I'm ridin' on that midnight train
My head's a-hangin' low
These awful blues will follow me
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rawhide, hah, hah
Keep rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dogies rollin', rawhide
Through rain and wind and weather
Hell bent for leather
Wishin' my gal was by my side
All the things I'm missin'
Good vittles, love and kissin'
Are waiting at the end of my ride
Move 'em out, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em out, head 'em up
Rawhide
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, cut 'em out
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Rawhide, hah, hah
Keep movin', movin', movin'
Though they're disapprovin'
Keep them dogies movin', rawhide
Don't try to understand 'em
Just rope an' throw an' brand 'em
Soon we'll be living high and wide
My heart's calculatin'
My true love will be waitin'
Waitin' at the end of my ride
Move 'em out, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em out, head 'em up
Rawhide
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, cut 'em out
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Rawhide
(Rollin', rollin', rollin')
(Rollin', rollin', rollin')
(Rollin', rollin', rollin')
(Rollin', rollin', rollin')
Rawhide, hah
Oh, yonder stands little Maggie
With a dram glass in her hand
She's drinkin' away her troubles
She's a-courtin' another man
Last time I saw little Maggie
She was sittin' on the banks of the sea
With a forty-four all around her
And a banjo on her knee
Pretty flowers were made for bloomin'
Pretty stars were made to shine
Pretty women were made for lovin'
Little Maggie was made for mine
Lay down your last gold dollar
Lay down your gold watch and chain
Little Maggie's gonna dance for daddy
Listen to that ol' banjo ring
Go away, go away, little Maggie
Go and do the best you can
I'll get me another woman
If I could find a love to treasure with this heart and with these hands
I could build a strong foundation in a world of shifting sands
If I could show just what I've made up it'd be surprise what I can do
But I need someone to help me, let it be you
'Cause I ain't to find somebody who really understands
The things that make a difference between a woman and a man
Yeah I bet all my best intentions will never see me through
If I don't find what I'm missin', let it be you
Let it be you who wakes me in the morning
Let it be you who lays down with me each night
Side by side we can dream together
Let it come true, let it be you
There are lessons in this life I can't learn all by myself
There's beauty I can only see through the eyes of someone else
There's a place I've always heard of only love can take me to
But I need someone beside me, let it be you
Let it be you who wakes me in the morning
Let it be you who lays down with me each night
Side by side we can dream together
J.D.'S WORDS OF WISDOM
(J.D. Sumner)
« © '97 Gospel Quartet Music »
You're back in town again, spreadin' talk around
That I'm still in love with you, though you put me down
Well, I hate to admit it but I guess the talk is true
Or else, you couldn't make my heart ache the way you do
I've got a new heartache about an old sweetheart
That left me for somebody new
I've got a new heartache about an old sweetheart
And that's why I'm feeling so blue
Why did you turn up again, well, I was doing fine
I'd found another sweetheart to drive you from my mind
Well, I thought that I'd forgotten you but I guess that it's not true
Or else you couldn't make my heart ache the way you do
I've got a new heartache about an old sweetheart
That left me for somebody new
I've got a new heartache about an old sweetheart
And that's why I'm feeling so blue
Standing on the corner of a busy street
Looking for your face in every crowd I meet
Searching every honky tonk in this town
Trying to find the places where you hang around
Oh Lord, I'm tired, tired of living this old way
Well, I've been searching for you baby night and day
Wondering if your love will ever come my way
My time is running out and I'm slowing down
Tired of being just another hang around
Oh Lord, I'm tired, tired of living this old way
There ain't no happiness in anything I do
I find myself so lonely when I'm not with you
What makes you just the kind of gal a guy could love
You've got so many others that you're thinking of
Oh Lord, I'm tired, tired of living this old way
I wonder if I care as much as I did before
Last night I cried myself to sleep for
The one that makes me weep
I dried my eyes to greet the day
And wondered why I had to pay
The tears that I have shed by day
Give relief and wash away
The memory of the night before
I wonder if I'll suffer more
I wonder if I care as much as I did before
My pride is made to say forgive
And take the blame for what you did
It's your mistake I'm thinking of
I wonder if I'm still in love
My heart can't thrive on misery
My life it has no destiny
When things get more than I can bear
I ask myself do I still care
I've been away for just a year
Have you forgotten me, my dear?
The judge said I must pay the cost
I never knew how much I'd lost
Until they sent me far away
Where each minute seems a day
But maybe someday I'll be free
Will you be waiting there for me?
I'm in this cell because of you
The crime I did you drove me to
My jealous heart just could not stand
To see you with another man
Until they sent me far away
Where each minute seems a day
But maybe someday I'll be free
Will you be waiting there for me?
I hope someday that you will learn
And broken hearted you'll return
But listen, darlin', please don't wait
For maybe then will be too late
Until they sent me far away
Where each minute seems a day
But maybe someday I'll be free
Now, I don't care
If I'm not the first love you've known
Just so I'll be the last
No, I don't care
If I'm not the first one you've kissed
Darling, I'll never ask
Yesterday's gone
Love me from now on
Be true to me
Forget about the past
No, I don't care
If I'm not the first love you've known
Just so I'll be the last
Yesterday's gone
Love me from now on
Be true to me
Forget about the past
No, I don't care
If I'm not the first love you've known
Just so I'll be the last
I may look like a city slicker
Shinin' up through his shoes
Underneath I'm just a cotton picker
Pickin' out a mess of blues
Show me where I start
Find a horse and cart
I'm just a country boy
Country boy at heart
I may look like a bank teller
Pushin' facts in a file
But I'd rather be a haul collar
Shooin' foot home in style
Show me where I start
Find a horse and cart
I'm just a country boy
Country boy at heart
I may look like a city slicker
Shinin' up through his shoes
Underneath I'm just a cotton picker
Pickin' out a mess of blues
Show me where I start
Find a horse and cart
I'm just a country boy
Well, these Highway 40 blues
I've walked holes in both my shoes
Counted the days since I've been gone
And I'd love to see the lights of home
Wasted time and money too
Squandered youth in search of truth
But in the end I had to lose
Lord above, I've paid my dues
Got the Highway 40 blues
The highway called when I was young
Told me lies of things to come
Fame and fortune lies ahead
That's what the billboard lights had said
Shattered dreams, my mind is numb
My money's gone, stick out my thumb
My eyes are filled with bitter tears
Lord, I ain't been home in years
Got the Highway 40 blues
You know, I've rambled all around
Like a rolling stone, from town to town
Met pretty girls I have to say
But none of them could make me stay
Well, I've played the music halls and bars
Had fancy clothes and big fine cars
Things a country boy can't use
Dixieland I sure miss you
Well who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes?
Or the bitter direction of impending goodbyes?
I'm fallin', I'm folded, I'm welded in place
At the sight of you standin' with streaks down your face
You got your heart broke, go runnin' from the reason
Get your heart broke, don't give up on believin' in me
Heartbroke, who kept me from leavin' with my heart broke
Well cryin' when you're rich is a poor if you're lonely
Sheer madness prevails upon reason to yield
But all is not lost, it is only mistaken
A small consolation but I know just how you feel
You got your heart broke, go runnin' from the reason
Got your heart broke, don't give up on believin' in me
Heartbroke, who kept me from leavin' with my heart broke
Well nobody said it was goin' to be easy
We all have our weak sides and need soft good touchin'
Nobody said that it would not be worth it
But human conditions can give you such
You got your heart broke, go runnin' from the reason
Got your heart broke, don't give up on believin' in me
Heartbroke, who kept me from leavin' with my heart broke
You kept me from leavin' with my heart broke
With my heart broke
With my heart broke
I'm mighty quiet for thunder
Shut the shutters on my car
She had me eatin' from her hand
The first night in the dark
I did not see the danger
But not 'til she blew in
'Til she left me shakin' like a dry leaf
In a high lonesome wind
Heartbreak hurricane
She's gone but not forgotten
Lord, I still call her name
Despite the devastation
Sweet memories remain
In the wake of a heartbreak hurricane
II know it may sound crazy
But every now and then
I have a yearning that someday
She'll blow my way again
I know her name spells trouble
And I know my heart's at stake
For a chance to win her love
It's a chance I'm glad to take
Heartbreak hurricane
She's gone but not forgotten
Lord, I still call her name
Despite the devastation
Sweet memories remain
In the wake of a heartbreak hurricane
Despite the devastation
Sweet memories remain
In the wake of a heartbreak hurricane
In the wake of a heartbreak hurricane
The moon is full and my heart is high
I love to dance, oh me, oh my
Gonna have more fun than a tree in a coon
Tonight's the dance of the cajun moon
Pick ups and wagons 'round the river road shack
Bonfires draw in a crowd out back
Step through the door and I see my Sheri
That's when I feel her mama's eyes on me
Cajun moon, nugget of gold
River of light on the bayou
You're just like rain to a love in bloom, so
Shine on me oh, cajun moon
Guitar, a squeeze box, a fiddle, a bow
Little band playin' every song they know
Old woman sittin' there and yellin' for more
My heart is willin', but my feet, they're so sore
Cajun moon, nugget of gold
River of light on the bayou
You're just like rain to a love in bloom, so
Shine on me oh, cajun moon
Once more we're waltzin' to Jolie Blond
I lean in closer and Sheri responds
Her mama's smilin' as we slip from the room
To sit and stare at the cajun moon
Cajun moon, nugget of gold
River of light on the bayou
You're just like rain to a love in bloom, so
Shine on me oh, cajun moon
Cajun moon, nugget of gold
River of light on the bayou
You're just like rain to a love in bloom, so
I never thought I'd need you
But now I find I'm wrong
Come on back, sweet mama
Back where you belong
I've rambled over town
To find that I can't win
Come on back and pick me up again
Now, if I lose
(If I lose)
Let me lose
(Let me lose)
I don't care
(I don't care)
How much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars
While I'm tryin' to win a dime?
My baby, she's got money all the time
Of all the other gals I've known
There's none to take your place
'Cause when I get into a jam
They just ain't in the race
So, now that you're back here
Let's take another round
With you here by my side
Babe, the deal just can't go down
Now, if I lose
(If I lose)
Let me lose
(Let me lose)
I don't care
(I don't care)
How much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars
While I'm tryin' to win a dime?
My baby, she's got money all the time
Now, if I lose
(If I lose)
Let me lose
(Let me lose)
I don't care
(I don't care)
How much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars
While I'm tryin' to win a dime?
Well, I got a gal that's sweet to me
She just ain't what she used to be
Just a little high headed
That's plain to see
Don't get above your raisin'
Stay down to earth with me
Now lookee here gal don't you high hat me
I ain't forgot what you used to be
When you didn't have nothin'
That was plain to see
Don't get above your raisin'
Stay down to earth with me
Now you don't have to raise your head so high
Every time you pass me by
'Cause it don't mean nuthin'
To me you see
Don't get above your raisin'
Stay down to earth with me
Now look here, gal, you'd better be yourself
And leave that other stuff on the shelf
You're a country, baby
That's plain to see
Don't get above your raisin'
Stay down to earth with me
Well, I got a gal that's sweet to me
She just ain't what she used to be
Just a little high headed
That's plain to see
Don't get above your raisin'
Tonight my heart is beatin' low and my head is bowed
You've been seen with my best friend on the other side of town
And I don't mind this waitin', don't mind this runnin' 'round
But if you're gonna cheat on me, don't cheat in our hometown
How can I stand up to my friends and look 'em in the eye?
Admit the questions that I know would be nothin' but lies
You spend all your pass time makin' me a clown
But if you're gonna cheat on me, don't cheat in our hometown
Now, there are no secrets in this little country town
Everyone knows everyone for miles and miles around
Your bright eyes and your sweet smile are drivin' me insane
You think it's smart to break my heart and run down my name
How can I stand up to my friends and look 'em in the eye?
Admit the questions that I know would be nothin' but lies
You spend all your pass time makin' me a clown
But if you're gonna cheat on me, don't cheat in our hometown
(Instrumental)
Could you love me one more time
With a love that really is mine
I've waited so long they say you've gone wrong
Have I lost you forever this time.
We'll go down by the river
I'll ask you one last time
As the night breezes blow I'll whisper so low
Could you love me one more time.
Do you think that I'd believe
This talk that's going around
I've heard lots of things that somehow seem strange
But darling I wouldn't throw you down.
I know that you're my weakness
I know you'll be my downfall
I'm not sorry we met and I'll never forget
Are you a stranger to God
Carried away with your pride?
Tell me sinner, do you ever stop and think?
Are you afraid to die?
Are you afraid?
Are you unsaved?
Are you afraid to die?
Call on Him while he is near
Moments are swift passing by
Will you seek Him while He stile may be found?
Are you afraid to die?
Are you afraid?
Are you unsaved?
Are you afraid to die?
Are you too wicked to cry?
Would you to Gods' bosom fly?
Soon He's comin' like a thief in the night
Are you afraid to die?
Are you afraid?
Are you unsaved?
Are you afraid to die?
Are you afraid?
Are you unsaved?
You may see me walkin',
You may hear me talkin',
But the words I speak won't ever be about you.
You once left me cryin',
And now you're still tryin',
To make amends by saying you'll be true.
Like a fool I played along,
With your cheatin' game.
Now my heart is payin' for,
The things you did with shame.
You may see me walkin',
You may hear me talkin',
But the words I speak won't ever be about you.
Instrumental break.
Like a fool I played along,
With your cheatin' game.
Now my heart is payin' for,
The things you did with shame.
You may see me walkin',
You may hear me talkin',
But the words I speak won't ever be about you.
Today, I burned your old love letters;
I burned them gently, one by one.
And as I light the flame, I'd read it,
So I could see what you had done.
The first you wrote me was the sweetest:
The last one broke my heart in two.
Our love now lies among the embers,
In the ashes of your letters tied in blue.
Instrumental break.
And as I burned your old love letters,
It brought back mem'ries from the past.
It told about you and your new love,
A love I knew could never last.
The first you wrote me was the sweetest:
The last one broke my heart in two.
And as I light the flame, I'd read it,
For I can say: "I still love you."
The clubs are all closed and there's no where to go
And the sun won't show for hours
The streets have all emptied and lovers lay sleeping
And dreaming of each other
You've got a lover but it's not me
He can't love you like I can
There will be others yes I understand
Will they love me like you can
There's acres and acres of heartbroken lovers
I know we're not the first ones
But sometimes it seems that it's just like a dream
That you try hard to remember
You've got a lover but it's not me
He can't love you like I can
There will be others yes I understand
Will they love me like you can
The clubs are all closing you know
I was hoping that time would hold me over
I pull up my collar, walk into the night
I'll be looking for an answer
You've got a lover but it's not me
He can't love you like I can
There will be others yes I understand
To Canaan's land, I'm on my way
Where the soul of man never dies
My darkest night will turn to day
Where the soul of man never dies
No sad farewells
(Dear friends there'll be no sad farewells)
No tear dimmed eyes
(There'll be no tear dimmed eyes.)
Where all is love
(Where all is peace and joy and love)
And the soul never dies
(And the soul of man never dies)
The rose is blooming there for me
Where the soul of man never dies
And I will spend eternity
Where the soul of man never dies
No sad farewells
(Dear friends there'll be no sad farewells)
No tear dimmed eyes
(There'll be no tear dimmed eyes)
Where all is love
(Where all is peace and joy and love)
And the soul never dies
(And the soul of man never dies)
The love light beams across the foam
Where the soul of man never dies
It shines and lights the way to home
Where the soul of man never dies
No sad farewells
(Dear friends there'll be no sad farewells)
No tear dimmed eyes
(There'll be no tear dimmed eyes)
Where all is love
(Where all is peace and joy and love)
And the soul never dies
(And the soul of man never dies)
No sad farewells
(Dear friends there'll be no sad farewells)
No tear dimmed eyes
(There'll be no tear dimmed eyes)
Where all is love
(Where all is peace and joy and love)
And the soul never dies
Oh, I'm thinking of you little darling
On the day that we first met
And those words sweetheart that you told me
I'm sure I'll never forget
Oh, someday sweetheart when you're lonely
And have no one to care for you
Remember the heart you have broken
And the one that has loved you so true
You told me you always would love me
And no one could ever come between
But it seems to me you've forgotten
All those things you told to me
Oh, someday sweetheart when you're lonely
And have no one to care for you
Remember the heart you have broken
And the one that has loved you so true
I'll forget those things that you told me
And try to start our lives anew
Just remember the heart you have broken
And the one that has loved you so true
Oh, someday sweetheart when you're lonely
And have no one to care for you
Remember the heart you have broken
WHEN LIFE HITS HARD
(Mark D. Sanders - Steve Seskin)
« © '97 Love This Town Music »
Life is a mountain of a journey
With rivers to cross at every turn
It's always something or too much of nothing
But if there's one thing I've learned
When life hits hard you gotta hit a little harder bear that heavy load
It's all gonna get a lot better farther along the road
Lord knows when you're down so down you gotta dig a little deeper
Keep reaching for the sky
And when life hits hard there's bound to be a reason why
Everyone's searching for the answer
When maybe thie only thing to do
Is cherish the good times and hold on through the bad times
Trustin' that time will deliver you
And when life hits hard...
In this one way we're all alike
We share a strong will to survive
And when life hits hard...
And when life hits hard there's bound to be a reason why
princes and paupers
sons and daughters
kneel at the throne of grace
losers and winners
saints and sinners
one day will see his face
chorus
and we'll all bow down
Kings will surrender their crowns
and worship Jesus
He is the Love of God
yeah
summer and winter
the mountains and the rivers
whisper the Savior's name
awesome and Holy
a friend to the lonely
forever His love will reign
and we'll all bow down
Kings will surrender their crowns
and worship Jesus
for He is the love, unfailing love
He is the Love of God
He's the Light of the world
and Lord of the cross
and we'll all bow down
Kings will surrender their crowns
and worship Jesus
and worship Jesus
and worship Jesus
for He is the love, unfailing Love
He is the Love of God
Oh, He is the Love of God
yeah
Oh, we'll all bow down
Oh, I've been standin' underneath
A dark old cloud now
Waitin' for the sun to shine
Waitin' for the sun to shine
On my heart again
Oh, I've been standin' underneath
A dark old cloud now
Waitin' for the sun to shine
Waitin' for the sun to shine
On my heart again
Oh, I've been throwin'
A lot of good love away now
Waitin' for the sun to shine
Waitin' for the sun to shine
On my heart again
Oh, I've been throwin'
A lot of good love away now
Waitin' for the sun to shine
Waitin' for the sun to shine
On my heart again
Waitin' for the sun to shine
Waitin' for the sun to shine
On my heart again
Waitin' for the sun to shine

On my heart again
Oh, I've been standin' underneath
A dark old cloud now
Waitin' for the sun to shine
Waitin' for the sun to shine
On my heart again
Oh, I've been standin' underneath
VOICES SINGIN'
(Richard Leigh - Billy Dean)
« © '97 EMI Blackwood Music »
I found some shade beneath a willow tree I fell asleep and started dreaming
That everything created here on earth all had voices singing
Every rock and every blade of grass even the ivy that was clinging
Every leaf and every drop of rain all had voices singing
It brought the angels down in my dream so clear
Then the Lord sat down so that he could hear
The sea and waves were rushing to the shore with the joy that they were bringing
A sound so perfect that it made me cry to hear their voices singing
And as the Lord sat down the angels hovered near
But they made no sound so that he could hear
I couldn't help but want to add my own to the praises that were ringing
Then over all the world there fell a hush to hear my one voice singing
Gloria I heard voices singing
Sometimes this crazy world can make us all feel bad
I sit and watch the news and just get mad
We need to stop and smell the roses in the ground
So get out today, you spread a little love around
Talk to a neighbor, volunteer a favor
Help out a stranger when his car's broke down
Give your wife a kissin', when your kids talk, listen
It makes a lovely sound, spread a little love around
You know it don't take much to make somebody's day
A kind word of tender touch goes a long way
We can change the whole world if we start in our hometown
So get out today, you spread a little love around
Tell your mom you love her, bear hug your brother
Treat your sister to a night out on the town
Throw the ball for rover, wrestle in the clover
Put a smile on that old hound, spread a little love around
Slap your sweetheart's fanny, tickle on old granny
Dance with the kids and act just like a clown
A little tiny kiss and hug, well everybody needs that stuff
Turn a frown upside down, spread a little love around
Well I thought I was over you and that my heart was free
I felt like those old memories had finally let me be
So I picked up the phone to call a girl that I once knew
But when she said hi, well girl you know I wished that it was you
Something in my heart sure makes it hard to love again
Something 'bout the way you broke it just won't seem to mend
Something in my mind tells me your memory has to end
Something in my heart sure makes it hard to love again
It seem like only yesterday you promised you'd be mine
And I sure thought I heard you say until the end of time
Well I guess I was wrong to think your love for me was true
So here I am all broken hearted all because of you
Something in my heart sure makes it hard to love again
Something 'bout the way you broke it just won't seem to mend
Something in my mind tells me your memory has to end
Something in my heart sure makes it hard to love again
Somehow tonight I feel lonely, my darlin'
Somehow tonight I feel blue
Somehow tonight these tears of mine keep falling
Come back, sweetheart and be true
I thought your love was something I could treasure
To brighten my pathway through the years
Now all I can see is darkness in the future
That's why I long to have you near
Somehow tonight I feel lonely, my darlin'
Somehow tonight I feel blue
Somehow tonight these tears of mine keep falling
Come back, sweetheart and be true
I never knew what loneliness meant, darlin'
Until I watched you walk away
I long to hear you whisper that you love me
I can't forget our happy days
Somehow tonight I feel lonely, my darlin'
Somehow tonight I feel blue
Somehow tonight these tears of mine keep falling
Somebody's prayin', I can feel it
Somebody's prayin' for me
Mighty hands are guiding me
To protect me from what I can't see
Lord I believe, Lord I believe
That somebody's prayin', for me.
Angels are watchin', I can feel it
Angels are watchin' over me
There's many miles ahead 'til I get home
Still I'm safely kept before your throne
'Cause Lord I believe, Lord I believe
Your angels are watchin' over me.
Well, I've walked through barren wilderness
When my pillow was a stone
And I've been through the darkest caverns
Where no light had ever shown.
Still I went on 'cause there was someone
Who was down on their knees
And Lord I thank you for those people
Prayin' all this time for me.
Somebody's prayin', I can feel it
Somebody's prayin' for me
Mighty hands are guiding me
To protect me from what I can't see
Lord I believe, Lord I believe
One man built his house in the sand
Another put his house upon a rock
When the floods of tribulation came you can understand
Why one house remained and the other one did not.
So let's built our house on solid ground on a rock
Where we can live and love till death do us part
Leaning on each other standing on our vows
With this love in our hearts baby we're on solid ground.
Yeah we've got the high ground when troubled waters rise
Where we can lay back and watch the clouds roll by
As long as I've got you stormy skies can come around
Baby let the rain fall cause we're on solid ground.
So let's built our house on solid ground on a rock
Where we can live and love till death do us part
Leaning on each other standing on our vows
With this love in our hearts baby we're on solid ground.
So let's built our house on solid ground on a rock
Where we can live and love till death do us part
Leaning on each other standing on our vows
With this love in our hearts baby we're on solid
SOLDIER OF THE CROSS
(Peter Rowan)

Soldier of the cross soldier of the cross You carry the sort of fate
Soldier of the cross soldier of the cross You bring love to those who hate
You bring love to those who hate
And the pendulum swings side to side
Where you gonna run where you gonna hide
When he comes down only you can tell
What it's gonna be heaven or hell
He's a stranger in this valley where many a men met his grave
And the voices in the silence sing od the life he can save
But the river runs deep and the river is wide
How you gonna get to the other side
Pendulum swing only you can tell
You gotta let them choice heaven or hell
And the pendulum swings side to side
Where you gonna run where you gonna hide
Living on the line only you can tell
What it's gonna be heaven or hell
Soldier of the cross soldier of the cross
You carry the sort of fate
Soldier of the cross soldier of the cross
You bring love to those who hate
You bring love to those who hate
You bring love to those who hate
You bring love you bring love
You bring love you bring love
Kick your shoes off in the corner mama
Tuck the babies all up snug
Sis Draper's comin' over, we all gonna cut a rug
When you see that lantern swingin' yonder
Comin' up the Holler Road
Them dogs'll get to barkin'
Ought to tie em all up with a rope
You boys better get in tune
Sis Draper's gonna be here soon
Don't shoot no dice nor get too tight
If you're gonna pick with Sis tonight
She came down from the Boston mountains
There was lightnin' in the air
Honey on them fiddle strings
Magnolia in her hair
She's a diamond in the rough
If you can't see the shine that's tough
Play all night for the likes of us
Sis Draper's got the touch
She'll play all night if she feels like it
have some fruit punch if you spike it
Sis don't care who don't like it
See, ol' Sis has got a Hell of a bow arm on her
She stepped up and sawed one off
And uncle Cleve dropped his jaw
Said she's the best I ever saw
She must be from Arkansas
I think Grandpa used to date her
Grandma says she still hates her
All the fellas stand up straighter
In the presence of Sis Draper
Sis Draper is the devil's daughter
Plays the fiddle Daddy bought her
Plays it like her mama taught her
She's a travelin' Arkansawyer
Put her fiddle in a box
Said it's getting awful late
She's on her way to Little Rock
And Little Rock can't wait
So we all stood out in the yard
Hands all full of watermelon
Watcher her leave watched her go
Wishin' I was in that wagon
Sis Draper is the devil's daughter
Plays the fiddle Daddy bought her
Plays it like her mama taught her
Shady Grove my little miss
Shady Grove my darling
Shady Grove my little miss
I'm going back to Harlan.
Every time I walk this road
It's always dark and cloudy
Every time I see that girl
I always tell her howdy.
If you see my little miss
If you see my darling
If you see my little miss
Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone
It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love
Moon in all your splendor know only my heart
Call back my rose, rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own.
Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone
Deep within my heart lies a melody,
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone
It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love
Moon in all your splendor know only my heart
Call back my rose, rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own.
Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
I got me in bed and covered my head
Wish I was dead with Sally Jo
Sally Jo, where did you go Sally Jo?
Since you have gone my days are turned to night
Nothin' goes right Sally Jo
Sally Jo, where did you go Sally Jo?
The hurt you left has just begun to show
Sally Jo I've been so low
Sally Jo, where did you go Sally Jo?
I'm like a little dog left out to stray
No one wants me no place to stay
Sally Jo, where did you go Sally Jo?
Did I do bad or was I good to you
Yes or no, Sally Jo
Sally Jo, where did you goSally Jo?
The torch I carried had a light so bright
For me to see Sally Jo
Sally Jo, where did you go Sally Jo?
Sally Jo, Sally Jo
To the River of Jordan our Savior went one day
And we read that John the Baptist met Him there
And when John baptized Jesus in Jordan's rushing waters
The mighty power of God filled the air.
I'm on my way to the River of Jordan
Gonna wade right in to the rushing waters
I'm going down to the River of Jordan
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul.
King Naaman was stricken with dreaded leprosy
And he sent for the man of God to pray
But Elisha said to Naaman ''Go dip yourself in Jordan
And let the cool waters wash your spots away.''
So he went right down to the River Of Jordan
He waded right in the rushing waters
He dipped himself in the River of Jordan
And the cool waters made him whole.
Oh, the River of Jordan is many miles away
And this mighty river I may never see
But I'll find myself an alter in an old fashioned church
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough
today
You say our love is over that you have found another
You say you're goin' away but leave me tomorrow oh oh
you've hurt me enough today
You've hurt me enough today I can't believe the words you
I must accept the fact you won't be coming back
So stay just one more day loneliness isn't far away
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough
today
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough
§ ITS THE NEWEST CRAZE IN TOWN,
THERES AN OLD KIND OF LOVE GOIN ROUND:
HUSBANDS ARE BEING TRUE TO THEIR WIVES AGAIN.
AND WOMEN TAKING CARE TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR MEN.
AND FAMILIES ARE REALLY GROWING STRONG,
CAUSE MAMAS AND DADDIES ARE HOLDIN ON.
THERES AN OLD KIND OF LOVE GOIN ROUND,
A NEW GENERATION HAS FOUND,
AND ITS A MIGHTY WELCOMED SIGHT TO SEE,
CAUSE THINGS ARE GETTING BACK TO THE WAY THEY USED TO BE,
WHEN HEARTS COULD STAND STRONG AGAINST THE WIND.
AND THOUGH THE TIMES ARE TOUGHER THAN THEYVE EVER BEEN,
ITS THE NEWEST CRAZE IN TOWN,
THERES AN OLD KIND OF LOVE GOIN ROUND.
YOUNG GIRLS ARE WAITING FOR THEIR WEDDING DAY,
AND YOUNG MEN ARE PATIENT BECAUSE THEYRE THERE TO STAY.
THE WORLD IS SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH IT SEEMS.
AND PEOPLE ARE SAYING ITS A BRAND NEW THING.
THERES AN OLD KIND OF LOVE GOIN ROUND,
A NEW GENERATION HAS FOUND.
AND ITS A MIGHTY WELCOMED SIGHT TO SEE,
CAUSE THINGS ARE GETTING BACK TO THE WAY THEY USED TO BE, WHEN HEARTS COULD STAND STRONG AGAINST THE WIND,
AND THOUGH THE TIMES ARE TOUGHER NOW THAN THEYVE EVER BEEN.
ITS THE NEWEST CRAZE IN TOWN,
THERES AN OLD KIND OF LOVE GOIN ROUND.
ITS THE NEWEST CRAZE IN TOWN,
They didn't own a house
No crib, no toys were waiting
Still, they had their love
For the child they were anticipating
He was born one winter night
On a road between two towns
They wrapped Him up so warm and tight
And said, "It looks like heaven's come down"
There was a new star shining in the sky up above
By His light that winter night, they found peace and perfect love
If we want to find it, I know we always will
'Cause that new star is shining for us still
They worried how to feed Him
Simple trade was all they knew
It was hard enough to make ends meet
When they were only two
But the cold, the dark, and hunger
Couldn't take away their joy
And they knew that they would find a way
For that precious baby boy
There was a new star shining in the sky up above
By His light that winter night, they found peace and perfect love
If we want to find it, I know we always will
'Cause that new star is shining for us still
If we want to find it, I know we always will
My history is no secret it's written in the stones
In the hill beside this river rest my mother's gentle bones
And daddy there beside her among his next of kin
And their legacy passed down to me the sons of mountain men
Raised to be a miner by a miners callused hands
Passed my youth between these mountains where I grew to understand
That family was the word of God and faith was it's demand
And life and death the same came from the coal beneath this land
Well, a rich man writes the book of laws a poor man must defend
But the highest laws are written on the hearts of honest men
If that cup is passed to me to do what must be done
When they lay me down remind them I was just my father's son
I've walked among these people, heard the stories that they tell
I've crawled beside them in the mines and touched the walls of hell
I've shared their sacred secrets, known their triumph and their pain
And right or wrong I'll stand with them on the final judgment day
They say God gives his comfort when the time of trouble comes
They say we'll know no share of peace till we lay down our guns
But will my boy have the chance to do the things I've never done
Or will he, like me, be told that he must be his father's son?
Well, a rich man writes the book of laws a poor man must defend
But the highest laws are written on the hearts of honest men
When that cup is passed to me to do what must be done
They say you're cold as ice
I don't believe them
Up goes my temperature when I'm next to you
They say you won't look twice
I don't believe them
I think I feel something cookin'
Baby, how 'bout you
Someday you'll see it's gonna be
No one for you, only me
Sometime, sweet destiny
Will open up your heart
And that's when I'm gonna be around just you wait and see
No more lonely you, when you're lovin' only me
Just give me your heart
I'll never break it
I could never hurt someone as wonderful as you
I'm offering you my love
You don't have to take it
But I wouldn't pass me by
'Cause I know what's good for you
Someday you'll see it's gonna be
No one for you, only me
Sometime, sweet destiny
Will open up your heart
And that's when I'm gonna be around just you wait and see
No more lonely you, when you're lovin' only me
Someday you'll see it's gonna be
No one for you, only me
Sometime, sweet destiny
Will open up your heart
And that's when I'm gonna be around just you wait and see
No more lonely you, when you're lovin' only me
And that's when I'm gonna be around just you wait and see
I won't need you to want me just the way I wanted you
And I feel pretty foolish when you've found somebody new
I think it's fair to warn you girl, you can't treat love that way
Love's gonna get you someday
Love's gonna get you someday
And pay you back for all the times you left it in disgrace
And when you least expect it, love will put you in your place
Love's gonna get you someday
I know mine's not the first love to be put up on the shelf
In fact it's not the first one that you put up there yourself
I'm only sorry I won't be around to see your face
Love's gonna get you someday
Love's gonna get you someday
And pay you back for all the times you left it in disgrace
And when you least expect it, love will put you in your place
Love's gonna get you someday
When I think of all the hearts that I do find to hurt
I guess it's only fair now that the tables have been turned
Speaking from experience, I think it's safe to say
Love's gonna get you someday
Love's gonna get you someday
And pay you back for all the times you left it in disgrace
And when you least expect it, love will put you in your place
Love's gonna get you someday
Love's gonna get you someday
And pay you back for all the times you left it in disgrace
And when you least expect it, love will put you in your place
Love's gonna get you someday
Lookin' at you I can see what I've missed
Love can't ever get better than this
Never knew there was so much in a kiss
Love can't ever get better than this
I knew this ol' world like the back of my hand
Known a lot of boys but I never knew a man
You were someone, darlin', that I couldn't resist
Oh, love can't ever get better than this
Love can't ever get better than this
You took a country boy and gave his life a new twist
Love can't ever get better than this
I'm tellin' everyone you're at the top of my list
Love can't ever get better than this
I made a lot of money but it didn't buy me dreams
Thought that I was rich but I was only in between
You were someone, darlin', that I couldn't resist
Oh, love can't ever get better than this
Love can't ever get better than this
Gonna have a lifetime
Makin' up our own mind
Lookin' at you I can see what I missed
Love can't ever get better than this
I'ma tellin' everyone you're at the top of my list
Love can't ever get better than this
Made a lot of money but it didn't buy me dreams
Thought that I was rich but I was only in between
You were someone, darlin', that I couldn't resist
Oh, love can't ever get better than this
Love can't ever get better than this
Love can't ever get better than this
Love can't ever get better than this
Love can't ever get, love can't ever get
We went out one evenin', my darlin' and I.
She seemed so different and I wondered why.
We stopped at a tavern and there I could see.
That she loved another one better than me.
The band was playin' an old fashioned waltz.
The dance floor was crowded and I wasn't long,
When up stepped a stranger, I never had seen.
He asked my darlin': "Will you dance with me?"
While they were dancin', I sat alone.
I knew I had lost her, the one I loved.
Lost to a stranger I never had seen.
The waltz they were playin' had ended my dream.
Instrumental break.
While they were dancin', I sat alone.
I knew I had lost her, the one I loved.
Lost to a stranger I never had seen.
LONESOME FOR YOU

I can't say a train whistle makes me lonesome
I can't say a whippoorwill makes me blue
It takes more than the sound of a Grayhound leavin' town
To break this poor boys heart in two
I can't say them old sad songs on the jukebox
Are causin' me to cry these bitter tears
The only time they do is when I get the blues
Or when I'm feeling lonesome for you
And I'm lonesome for you little darling
More lonesome than the high winds in the pines
I don't want somebody else taking care of
What used to be mine
There's an old houndog on the hill behind the house
He sit up sharp and howlin' at the moon
I can tell by his whinin' that his heart been broken too
He's lonesome like I'm lonesome for you
And I'm lonesome for you little darling...
I can't say train the wistle makes me lonesome
I can't say whippoorwill makes me blue
The only time they do is when I get the blues
Or when I'm feeling lonesome for you
Yeah the only time they do is when I get the blues
Let's put love back to work
To heal the pain and hurt
Let's build a fire inside
To keep our dreams alive.
Let's get back on the job and see
That life is all that it should be
Let's put love back to work
And make it work for you and me.
We might have to start all over
To ever make it right
We've come too far together
To quit without a fight.
We've both said things in anger
Painful unkind words
But we can save this union
If we put love back to work.
Let's put love back to work
To heal the pain and hurt
Let's build a fire inside
To keep our dreams alive.
Let's get back on the job and see
That life is all that it should be
Let's put love back to work
And make it work for you and me.
Instrumental
Let's don't put off until tomorrow
Feeling's we could share today
Love left lyin idle
Will surely slip away.
Let's make a new commitment
To put each other first
Let's pull our hearts together
And put love back to work.
Let's put love back to work
To heal the pain and hurt
Let's build a fire inside
To keep our dreams alive.
Let's get back on the job and see
That life is all that it should be
Let's put love back to work
And make it work for you and me.
Let's get back on the job and see
That life is all that it should be
Let's put love back to work
Hand in hand woman and man
We'll be together now and forever
Side by side till the end of time
Without any fuss just the two of us.
Just the two of us sharing our hearts
Nothin' in this world gonna tear us apart
Everyday falling deeper in love just the two of us
Just the two of us.
--- Instrumental ---
Winds may blow hearts grow cold
But we won't give up just the two of us
Storms might come and try to make it rough
But we won't budge just the two of us.
Just the two of us sharing our hearts
Nothin' in this world gonna tear us apart
Everyday falling deeper in love just the two of us
Just the two of us.
Just the two of us sharing our hearts
Nothin' in this world gonna tear us apart
Everyday falling deeper in love just the two of us
Just the two of us.
Just the two of us.
I don't blame you for I know you want him,
That your love for me was never real.
I could hold you but you'd be unhappy,
But it's all right if that's the way you feel.
I know that I will always go on caring,
And my feelings, now, I must conceal.
I still need you and I want you with me,
But it's all right if that's the way you feel.
Instrumental Break.
I always knew someday I would lose you,
When those lies about me were revealed.
It's plain to see, sweetheart, you believe them,
But it's all right if that's the way you feel.
I know that I will always go on caring,
And my feelings, now, I must conceal.
I still need you and I want you with me,
But it's all right if that's the way you feel.
I Wouldn't Change You If I Could Lyrics
I wouldn't change a single thing about you if I could
The way you are just suits me too a tee
A princess in a storybook
A king upon his throne
That's what we are and you belong too me.
CHOURS
I wouldn't change you if I could
I love you as you are
You're all that I would wish for
If I wished upon a star
An angel sent from heaven
you're everything that's good
you're perfect just the way you are
I wouldn't change you if I could.
Your eyes your lips, your tender smile
I'd leave them as they are
And come what may I'd never change a thing
And if I were a potter
And you a piece of clay
The only thing I'd change would be your name
CHOURS
I wouldn't change you if I could
I love you as you are
You're all that I would wish for
If I wished upon a star
An angel sent from heaven
you're everything that's good
you're perfect just the way you are
I don't remember forgetting
I don't seem to recall
If I neglected to show you I love you
I don't remember at all.
Ten years of thinking we're happy
Now you say that our love is gone
I'm racking my brain but I can't see
I'm wondering where I went wrong.
I don't remember forgetting
I don't seem to recall
If I neglected to show you I love you
I don't remember at all.
Now you say that I've been distracted
Not seeing the little things you need
Now I've never been more attracted
How can I make you believe.
I don't remember forgetting
I don't seem to recall
If I neglected to show you I love you
I don't remember at all.
If I neglected to show you I love you
Well, I ain't never, I ain't never seen nobody like you
No, no, no, never have I ever seen nobody like you
You call me up and say to meet me at nine
I have to hurry, hurry but I'm there on time.
I walk a right up and knock on your door
The landlord says she ain't a here no more
I ain't never oh darling seen nobody like you
Hoo, hoo, but I love you, yeah, I love you I love you
just the same.
--- Instrumental ---
Well you tell me sweet things that you don't mean
You've got me a livin' in a hunted dream
You make me do things I don't wanna do
My friends say Skaggs what's wrong with you.
I ain't never, oh darling, seen nobody like you
Hoo, hoo, but I love you, yeah, I love you, I love you
just the same
Honey, honey, honey won't you open that door?
This is your sweet daddy, don't you love me no more?
It's cold outside, let me sleep on the floor
Honey won't you open that door?
I honky tonked around Dallas
I got in a poker game
Somebody musta been a cheatin'
I lost everything but my name
Well, I walked halfway to Memphis
I finally got back home
But I'd been better off where I was
'Cause here's where things went wrong
Honey, honey, honey won't you open that door?
This is your sweet daddy, don't you love me no more?
It's cold outside, let me sleep on the floor
Honey, won't you open that door?
I went right down to see old Bob
I thought he was my friend
The landlord said that Bob's not here
The police done hauled him in
I ran right back to little honey's house
I got me a rockin' chair
Now, honey if you don't open that door
I'm gonna rock on away from here
Honey, honey, honey won't you open that door?
This is your sweet daddy, don't you love me no more?
It's cold outside, let me sleep on the floor
Honey won't you open that door?
Honey, honey, honey won't you open that door?
This is your sweet daddy, don't you love me no more?
It's cold outside, let me sleep on the floor
Honey won't you open that door?
Honey, honey
Honey, honey
I've traveled every highway
Down every dusty road
Beneath the silver moonlight
I counted every star that shone
I've seen all special places
Everybody wants to see
But there's no magic in the place, dear
If you're not there with me
Home is wherever you are
Home is here in your arms
With you love is safe and warm
Home is wherever you are
I've sung most every love song
Even wrote some of my own
I was born to be a dreamer
And played this guitar till I'm gone
But of all that I'm still learning
One thing I know is true
If home is where your heart is
Then my home's here with you
Home is wherever you are
Home is here in your arms
With you love is safe and warm
Home is wherever you are
Home is wherever you are
Home is here in your arms
With you love is safe and warm
FROM THE WORD LOVE
(Keith Sewell)
« © '91 Keith Sewell Music »
I took my mark for the sounding of the gun
The challenge for your heart had just begun
I never knew I would cross the finish line
I gave it all for the chance to make you mine
From the word love I knew I won the race
From the word love I came out in first place
From the word love my dreams were coming true
All because of you
You cheered me through from the word love
I'm learning what it really means to win
Sometimes I think if I could do it all again
I'd run the race and try for record time
Never looking back just your loving on my mind
COAL MININ' MAN
(Jim Mills)
« © '98 PolyGram Int »
Daylight or dark in rain or shine
It don't much matter down in the mine
Where the tunnel's deep Lord the air gets thin
That's the way of life for the minin' man
His lungs are weak his back is gone
His sixty years are plainly shown
Lived half his life down in the ground
A cold steel hammer rings a mournful sound
Daylight or dark in rain or shine...
I'll tell you son he said to me
There's just two things I pray to see
That the day my Savior calls me home
And to see my son stop minin' coal
Oh daddy dear I'll tell you true
There's nothing else for me to do
But to make my livin' underneath this land
And live and die a coal minin' man
Hold whatcha got, I'm a-coming home, baby
Hold whatcha got and I don't mean maybe
Been a-thinking about you and I'm on my way
Don't sell the house and don't wreck the car
Stay there, honey, right where you are
Hold whatcha got, I'm a-coming home to stay
Well, in my mind, I can see
That's a pretty good sign that I need you
That's why I can't wait to get back home
So squeeze yourself real good and tight
And I'll be there before daylight
Hold whatcha got, I'm a-coming home to stay
Hold whatcha got, I'm a-coming home, baby
Hold whatcha got and I don't mean maybe
Been a-thinking about you and I'm on my way
Don't sell the house and don't wreck the car
Stay there, honey, right where you are
Hold whatcha got, I'm a-coming home to stay
Well, when I get back, honey, I ain't leaving
I been too lonely, a little too much grieving
When I get back, honey, this time I'm going to stay
Well, we won't fuss and we won't fight
And this time things are gonna be all right
If you hold whatcha got, I'm a-coming home to stay
Hold whatcha got, I'm a-coming home, baby
Hold whatcha got and I don't mean maybe
Been a-thinking about you and I'm on my way
Don't sell the house and don't wreck the car
Stay there, honey, right where you are
Hold whatcha got, I'm a-coming home to stay
Hold whatcha got, I'm a-coming home, baby
Hold whatcha got and I don't mean maybe
Been a-thinking about you and I'm on my way
Don't sell the house and don't wreck the car
Stay there, honey, right where you are
Hold whatcha got, I'm a-coming home to stay
Don't sell the house and don't wreck the car
Stay there, honey, right where you are
My grandaddy was a miner
But he finally saw the light
He didn't have much
Just a beat-up truck and a dream about a better life
Grandmama cried when she waved goodbye
You never heard such a lonesome sound.
Pretty soon the dirt road turned
Into blacktop, Detroit City bound
Down that hillbilly highway
On That hillbilly highway
That old Hillbilly highway
Goes on and on.
Now he worked and saved his money
So that one day he might send
My daddy off to college
To use his brains and not his hands
Grandmama cried when she waved goodbye
Never heard such a lonesome sound.
But daddy had himself a good job in Houston
One more rollin' down
Down that old hillbilly highway
That old hillbilly highway
That old Hillbilly highway
Goes on and on.
Now granddaddy rolled over in his grave
The day that I quit school
I just sat around the house playin' my guitar,
Daddy said I was a fool
My mama cried when I said goodbye,
I never heard such a lonesome sound.
Now I'm standin' on this highway
And if you're going my way
You know where I'm bound
Down that old hillbilly highway
That old hillbilly highway
That old Hillbilly highway
The moon ain't yellow and the moon ain't blue
It ain't made of cheese and it don't have a thing to do
With me and you
Your mind ain't straight and your heart can't break
Tears don't roll and lips don't taste
Like cherry wine, sugar and honey dew
But honey, when you tell me that you love me true
I believe in you and ooh
Your love makes everything come true
'Cause love makes a blue moon turn gold
Makes a heart break, makes a tear roll
When God made love, I betcha He knew
That He was on to somethin', so He made you
Midnight really ain't the middle of the night
It's easier to the left or a little bit to the right
It's ever so slight
The sun don't move and it can't go down
Never comes up and it don't roll around
In Heaven all day, the sun don't roll around
But honey, when you tell me that you love me true
I believe in you and ooh
Your love makes everything come true
Love makes the sun come up and go down
'Cause love makes the world go around
When God made love, I betcha He knew
That He was on to somethin', so He made you
Love makes the world go around
Makes the sun come up and go down
When God made love, I betcha He knew
That He was on to somethin', so He made you
Troubles and trials often betray those,
On in the weary body to stray.
But we shall walk beside the still waters,
With the Good Shepherd leading the way.
Those who have strayed were sought by The Master;
He who once gave His life for the sheep.
Out on the mountain, still He is searching:
Bringing them in forever to keep.
Going up home to live in green pastures,
Where we shall live and die never more.
Even The Lord will be in that number,
When we shall reach that heavenly shore.
Instrumental break.
We will not heed the voice of the stranger,
For he would lead us on to despair.
Following on with Jesus, our saviour,
We shall all reach that country so fair.
Going up home to live in green pastures,
Where we shall live and die never more.
Even The Lord will be in that number,
He's been wounded already in the struggle of life
Battered by raging storm of strife
Caught in a whirlwind of heartbreak and pain
And blinded by it's driving rain
The innocent victim of crimes of the heart
Has witnessed his young world being torn apart
He can't understand why mom and dad
Have forsaken the family they had
So he whispers his prayer every evening
As he kneels by his bedside alone
"Put mommy and daddy together again
And give us a happy home
Please give us a happy home"
At night he could hear them in their room down the hall
The anger rang clearly through his bedroom wall
He silently listened, tucked snug in his bed
To each bitter word they said
Now he and mom each have a room of their own
He sees dad on weekends and they talk on the phone
His questions need answers but all they will say
Is "You'll understand why someday"
So he whispers his prayer every evening
As he kneels by his bedside alone
"Put mommy and daddy together again
And give us a happy home
Please give us a happy home"
Oh, he tries to act just like he's a man
And hold all the hurt inside
But it's hard for a little boy to understand
Grown-up reasons for goodbye
So he whispers his prayer ever evening
As he kneels by his bedside alone
"Put mommy and daddy back together again
And give us a happy home
Life is kinda like a roller coaster
Up and down over and over again until it ends
The way I figure it's all grist for the mill
There's a lesson to learn from every hard spill we take
And there are no mistakes.
We're all diamonds in the rough, we'll shine soon
enough
It's the struggles in this life that make you strong
Embrace the good times and the bad keep in mind when
you're sad
Both tears of joy and sorrow lead us home
Every drop of water shapes the stone.
Now you'd never know it be looking at me now
But not long ago I was down for the count and scared
Didn't think I had a prayer
But I found the faith to get over that mountain
It took a while but nobody's countin' anyway and I'm
here to say.
We're all diamonds in the rough, we'll shine soon
enough
It's the struggles in this life that make you strong
Embrace the good times and the bad keep in mind when
you're sad
Both tears of joy and sorrow lead us home
Every drop of water shapes the stone.
There's a masterpiece in every heart an ever changing
work of art
We're all diamonds in the rough we'll shine soon enough
Let tears of joy and sorrow lead you home
Every drop of water shapes the stone.
Life is kinda like a roller coaster up and down over
Song: ENJOY THE RIDE
Artist: RICKY SKAGGS
Album: Brand New Strings
Another day, another chance
To right the wrongs begin again
All you can do, is do your best
Shake off the past, forgive yourself.
Its just the world were livin in,
Not many saints too many sins
Youre not alone, were all inclined
To sleep and fall and cross the line
We live and learn with each mistake
To get back up, Thank God for grace
Lift up your chin, brush off the dust
Wash your hands off the things youve done
Sometimes you fall, sometimes you fly
Its only life, enjoy the ride
As long as you have air to breath
Then you have all the time you need
To give your love for all its worth
And make amends to those youve hurt
This is your life from Heaven safe
Redeem yourself and thank God for grace
Lift up your chin, brush off the dust
Wash your hands off the things youve done
Sometimes you fall, sometimes you fly
Its only life, enjoy the ride
Sometimes you fall, sometimes you fly
Its only life, enjoy the ride
Its only life, enjoy the ride
Now listen here, drunken driver
While here on earth you dwell
You never know when the time will come
When you'll have to say farewell
I saw an accident one day
Would charm the hearts of man
And teach him never to drink a drop
With a steerin' wheel in his hand
This awful accident occured
On the twentieth day of May
And caused to loving children
To sleep beneath the clay
These two dear kids walked side by side
Out on a state highway
Their lovin' mother, she had died
And their father had run away
They were talking of their loving parents
How sad their hearts did feel
When around the curve came a speedin' car
With a drunk man at the wheel
The driver saw these two dear kids
And hooted a drunkard sound
"Get out of the road, you little fools"
And the car had brought them down
The driver staggered from his car
To see what he had done
His heart sank within him
When he saw his dyin' on
He then picked up his little one
And carried him to his car
Then leanin' on the runnin' board
He prayed a drunkard's prayer
Sayin', "Please, oh Lord, forgive me
For this awful crime I've done"
His attention then was called away
To the words of his dyin' son
Sayin' "Take us to our mother, Dad
She sleeps beneath the ground
It was you and her we was talkin' about
When the car had knocked us down"
"And please, dear Dad, don't drink no more
While drivin' on your way
But meet us with our mother, Dad
Don't let your sweet love die
Like flowers in the fall
Don't take away the smiles and leave the tears
My heart believes in you
Please say you'll love me true
Don't leave me here to face the lonely years.
I drifted all alone
No one to call my own
And then you came like an angel from the sky
You said we'd never part
Don't leave and break my heart
Be mine alone
Don't let your sweet love die.
Don't let your sweet love die
Like flowers in the fall
Don't take away the smiles and leave the tears
My heart believes in you
Please say you'll love me true
Don't leave me here to face the lonely years.
When flowers fade they say
They'll bloom again some day
Will you love me when the rosebuds open wide
Or is your kiss to be
Only a memory
I need you so
Don't let your sweet love die.
Don't let your sweet love die
Like flowers in the fall
Without life would be like death to me
I've grown so used to you
I can't believe we're through
Be mine alone
Don't let your sweet love die.
Don't let your sweet love die
Like flowers in the fall
Without life would be like death to me
I've grown so used to you
I can't believe we're through
Be mine alone
Don't let your sweet love die.
Off somewhere the music's playing soft and low
And another holds the one that I love so
I was blind I could not see that you meant the world to me
But like a fool I stood and watched you go
Now I'm crying my heart out over you
Those blue eyes now they smile at someone new
Ever since you went away, I die a little more each day
'Cause I'm crying my heart out over you
Each night, I climb the stairs up to my room
It seems I hear you whisper in the gloom
I miss your picture on the wall and your footsteps in the hall
While I'm crying my heart out over you
Now I'm crying my heart out over you
Those blue eyes now they smile at someone new
Ever since you went away, I die a little more each day
Cry, cry darling, that's what I'll do
If you should leave me with the blues
Cry, cry, darling that's all I do
'Cause you're the one that's in my heart.
For me there'll be no moonligh
If ever we should part
Cry, cry, darling, that's all I do
'Cause you're the one that's in my heart.
--- Instrumental ---
Cry, cry darling, my eyes will cry
And never dry if you should go
Cry, cry darling, when shadows creep
I'll just weep all night I know.
You know how much I'd miss you
If ever we should part
Cry, cry darling, that's all I do
'Cause you're the one that's in my heart.
Cry, cry darling, that's what I do
A child arrived the other day,
He came to the world in the usual way.
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay,
He learned to walk while I was away,
And he was talking 'fore I knew it.
And as he grew he'd say, I'm gonna be like you dad,
You know I'm gonna be like you.
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon.
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
When you coming home dad? I don't know when,
But we'll get together then,
You know we'll have a good time then.
My son turned ten just the other day,
He said, Thanks for the ball come on let's play,
Can you teach me to throw? I said, Not today,
I got a lot to do. He said, That's okay.
He walked away but his smile never dimmed,
He said, I'm gonna be like him,
Yeah, you know I'm gonna be like him.
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon.
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
When you coming home dad? I don't know when,
But we'll get together then,
You know we'll have a good time then.
Well, he came from college just the other day,
So much like a man I just had to say,
Son I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while.
He shook his head and then he said with a smile,
What I'd really like dad is to borrow the car keys,
See you later can I have them please.
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon.
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
When you coming home son? I don't know when,
But we'll have a good time then dad,
You know we'll have a good time then.
I've long since retired my son's moved away.
I called him up just the other day,
I said, I'd like to see you if you don't mind.
He said, I'd love to dad if I could find the time,
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the
flu,
But it's sure nice talking to you dad,
It's been sure nice talking to you.
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
He'd grown up just like me, my boy was just like me.
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon.
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
When you coming home son? I don't know when,
But we'll have a good time then dad,
Oh, the days are dark and the nights are lonely.
Since you left me all alone.
I love you so, my little darlin';
I worry so, since you've been gone.
Sweetheart of mine, can't you hear me callin'?
A million times: "I love you best."
I mistreated you, Lord, an' I'm sorry.
Come back to me is my request.
Instrumental break.
I remember, dear, the night we parted.
A big mistake is what caused it all.
If you come back, sunshine will follow;
To stay away, would be my fall.
Sweetheart of mine, can't you hear me callin'?
A million times: "I love you best."
I mistreated you, Lord, an' I'm sorry.
Come back to me is my request.
Instrumental break.
Sweetheart of mine, can't you hear me callin'?
A million times: "I love you best."
I mistreated you, Lord, an' I'm sorry.
CAN'T CONTROL THE WIND
(Bill Anderson - Roger Pirtle - Pat Lovely)
« © '95 Mr Bubba Music »
When I was a boy daddy was my guiding light
We'd take walks and talk about fishing girls and life
He'd help me with my homework cheer me up when I was down
Best friend that I ever had I miss havin' him around
He'd say do the very best you can with all that you've been blessed
And if the load's too great for you the Lord will do the rest
Keep one thing in mind if all else should fail
You can't control the wind but you can adjust the sail
Daddy lost his job when the factory closed
Times were hard bills to pay he was troubled and it showed
But he said son don't worry it's all to no avail
We can't control the wind but we can adjust the sail
I think of his advice when life turns its back on me
There is no mountain I can't climb if I start down on my knees
I'll do the very best I can with all that I've been blessed
And if the load's too great for me the Lord will do the rest
I'll keep one thing in mind if all else should fail
I can't control the wind but I can adjust the sail
Well, I'm callin' callin' callin' your name
I don't believe I'm gettin' through I think it's all in
vain
Because you're fallin' fallin' fallin' out of love
It seems the best that I can do is never good enough.
Once I meant the world to you or was it just an act
If you loved me like you used to you couldn't turn your
back
And leave me leave me taking the blame
Callin', callin', calin' your name.
--- Instrumental ---
Now I'm holdin', holdin', barely holdin' on
It's just about all I can do while sittin' here alone
To keep from callin' callin' callin' your name
Callin', callin', callin' your name.
Once I meant the world to you or was it just an act
If you loved me like you used to you couldn't turn your
back
And leave me leave me taking the blame
Callin', callin', calin' your name.
Callin', callin', calin' your name.
Baby, I'm in love with you drownin' in your eyes so blue
Tell me that you love me too I'm just gonna be with you
Come and let me hold you hand till I make you understand
I'm just gonna be your man baby I'm in love with you.
I'm forever building dreams around your pretty head it
seems
Do you want to spoil my dreams and say that you'll ever
be mine
I would take an ocean trip just again to hear your sweet
lips
I would walk a million miles to hear you say you love me
too.

Little girl, ( little girl ) baby girl
She's my darling, little precious baby girl
Like an angel to me and I know that he
Sent from Heaven my little baby girl.
She's as sweet as the flowers of springtime
Her blue eyes they sparkle so bright
Just a touch of her little baby hand
Seems to guide my weary footsteps day and night.
How those two little arms try to hold me
Her little heart's a blessing to our home
And at night when I'm far far away
Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing
The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side,
'Til morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray
Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven

Famous quotes by Ricky Skaggs:
"There's a great Scripture about counting the cost before you start building the house, ... I think that's a big part of the problem. Where's the bottom end? Well, it fell out."
"The difference between me and the newer artists is that I have the history with the architects, the masters that started the music. I know where the music came from."
"I look back to when I got divorced in the late 1970s. When that happened, I was so broken up. After that, I decided to seek God for my life and my next marriage."
"I'm not a goody-two-shoes. I'm just a father with four children."
"With the name and the recognition that we've had for the last 15 years here in the business, I really think that we can make a difference and just let people know that, hey, bluegrass is cool, it's hip, and it's awesome, and if it's done in a great way and a great presentation, I don't know who wouldn't like it."
"That's the good thing about what we're doing playing bluegrass. It doesn't matter one way or the other whether country radio plays it or not."
"It's part of the calling to at least do a few songs in the show that give people some hope. There's so much hurt in this world and ... music is such a great healing balm and a great way to forget your troubles."
"Country's hip; it's cool music."
"Country and western is ignored by the intellectuals. They don't look at it as an art form. They think it's just somebody sitting on his couch singing about his life."
"That's kind of the mission statement for the label: to try to do great music that touches people's hearts."

Mandolin Rain - Bruce Hornsby with Ricky Skaggs (live Nashville, Feb 18, 2012)
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 7:01
- Updated: 29 Dec 2012
Bruce Hornsby closed out his amazing set w/ special guest Ricky Skaggs. They performed at Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville, TN on 2/18/2012. Several times throughout the night, Bruce made reference to his live performances appearing on YouTube, despite the warning to not film the performance. Many other would-be filmers were asked to put the phones down. I think I did a pretty damn good job considering the high level of security. That's LOVE baby, and about the only way I can enjoy going to concerts is to SHARE my favorite artists with the world! Now buy the Bruce & Ricky duet album! "Mandolin Rain" was originally released on the 1986 album "The Way It Is" -- debut album and commercial zenith for Bruce Hornsby and the Range. The song, released in late 1986, was a #4 hit single for the band in March 1987. I love the way Bruce is smiling at the end as if to say, I love how improvisational this is. It's not exactly how I thought it would sound, but, eh, whaddya gonna do? BTW, please join TheDailyVinyl facebook page: www.facebook.com and check out the vinyl video collection at www.TheDailyVinyl.com.

Mandolin Rain - Bruce Hornsby with Ricky Skaggs (live Nashville, Feb 18, 2012)
Bruce Hornsby closed out his amazing set w/ special guest Ricky Skaggs. They performed at Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville, TN on 2/18/2012. Several times throughout the night, Bruce made reference to his live performances appearing on YouTube, despite the warning to not film the performance. Many other would-be filmers were asked to put the phones down. I think I did a pretty damn good job considering the high level of security. That's LOVE baby, and about the only way I can enjoy going to concerts is to SHARE my favorite artists with the world! Now buy the Bruce & Ricky duet album! "Mandolin Rain" was originally released on the 1986 album "The Way It Is" -- debut album and commercial zenith for Bruce Hornsby and the Range. The song, released in late 1986, was a #4 hit single for the band in March 1987. I love the way Bruce is smiling at the end as if to say, I love how improvisational this is. It's not exactly how I thought it would sound, but, eh, whaddya gonna do?

America's Music Legacy: Country & Western
Recorded 1983-85 and features performances by Razzy Bailey, Patti Page, Moe Bandy, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ricky Skaggs and many more.
Rock-a-Billy, Country, and Bluegrass all came from the simple form of story telling by music and modern Country and Western music has its roots in the folk songs of the rural south and the cowboy music popularized by the singing cowboys of the 30's, 40's and 50's. The America's Music Legacy series was recorded 1983-85 and produced by 20TH Century Home Entertainment. It showcases the musical legends performing the songs that continue to attract and entice the whole world, because they truly are the best of all that is America. The program is hosted by Gene Weed and features performances by Razzy Bailey, Patti Page, Moe Bandy, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ricky Skaggs, and many more.

Bill Monroe - Father Of Bluegrass Music
Features interviews and performances by Bill Monroe & the Blue Grass Boys, Emmylou Harris, Paul McCartney, the Osborne Brothers, Dolly Parton, Ricky Skaggs and many more!
No single figure in American music so dominated a genre as did Bill Monroe with bluegrass. Bill Monroe: Father of Bluegrass Music features performances by Bill Monroe & the Blue Grass Boys, Lester Flatt, Emmylou Harris, Paul McCartney, the Osborne Brothers, Dolly Parton, Ricky Skaggs, Marty Stuart, John Hartford and a once-in-a-lifetime Blue Grass Boys reunion featuring Del McCoury, Chubby Wise and Bill Keith. The film features archival footage and rare 1990s performances from Monroe's final years including many of the greatest songs from his six decades of recording, such as "Uncle Pen" and "Muleskinner Blues." In addition, it offers unparalleled access to Bill Monroe telling his story in his own words. Other interview subjects include the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia and country music legend Roy Acuff, in one of his final film appearances. Bill Monroe: Father of Bluegrass Music stands alone as the most intimate and detailed portrait of this unique musical innovator.

Trouble Begins at Eight Lecture 4 Fall 2011
Mark Twain: Words & Music Cindy Lovell Executive Director, Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum Mark Twain wrote, "Most of us contain Music & Truth, but most of us can't get it out." Join Cindy Lovell as she describes the trajectory of love and devotion that led to the creation of "Mark Twain: Words & Music" -- a tribute double-CD project comprised of song and spoken word. Using Clemens's language and carefully selected songs (some written especially for the project), two childhood friends set out to create a storied and musical timeline of Clemens's life. Those who lent their voices to this project include Jimmy Buffett, Garrison Keillor, Clint Eastwood, Emmylou Harris, Brad Paisley, Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, and Sheryl Crow. The result is a sampler of narration, story, and Americana music offering a glimpse of Sam's life from comet to comet.

Biography[link]
Early career[link]
Ricky Skaggs was born in Cordell, Kentucky. He started playing music at age 5 after he was given a mandolin by his father, Hobert. At age 6, he played mandolin and sang on stage with Bill Monroe. At age 7, he appeared on television's Martha White country music variety show, playing with Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. He also wanted to audition for the Grand Ole Opry at that time, but was told he was too young.
In his mid-teens, Skaggs met a fellow teen prodigy, guitarist Keith Whitley, and the two started playing together with Whitley's banjoist brother Dwight on radio shows. By 1970, they had earned a spot opening for Ralph Stanley and Skaggs and Keith Whitley were thereafter invited to join Stanley's band, the Clinch Mountain Boys
Skaggs later joined The Country Gentlemen in Washington, DC, J. D. Crowe's New South. For a few years, Skaggs was a member of Emmylou Harris's Hot Band. He wrote the arrangements for Harris's 1980 bluegrass-roots album, Roses in the Snow. In addition to arranging for Harris, Skaggs sang harmony and played mandolin and fiddle in the Hot Band.
Neotraditionalism and experimentation[link]
Into the 1990s and 2000s, Skaggs has embraced his bluegrass roots, as well as experimenting with new sounds. With his band, Kentucky Thunder, he is a perennial winner of Grammy Awards and International Bluegrass Music Association for best bluegrass album.
"I always want to try to promote the old music, as well as trying to grow, and be a pioneer too," Skaggs once said.[citation needed]
In 2000, he shared the stage with Vermont-based jam band, Phish.[citation needed] On March 20, 2007, Skaggs released an album with rock musician Bruce Hornsby.
In 2008, Skaggs released an album he recorded with The Whites on his Skaggs Family Records label.
In 2008, Skaggs recorded a bluegrass version of "Old Enough" by the Raconteurs with Ashley Monroe and the Raconteurs. He played mandolin on the track as well as sharing vocals with Jack White, Brendan Benson, and Ashley Monroe.

Barry Alan Crompton Gibb, CBE (born 1 September 1946) is a singer, songwriter, producer and both the eldest and last surviving Gibb brother.
He was born in the Isle of Man to English parents, the second-eldest of five siblings. With his younger brothers, twins Robin and Maurice, he formed the Bee Gees, one of the most successful pop groups of all time. Their younger brother Andy was also a popular singer. The trio got their start in Australia, and found their major success when they returned to England.
Known for his high-pitched falsetto singing voice, Gibb shares the record with John Lennon and Paul McCartney for consecutive Billboard Hot 100 Number Ones as a writer with six. The book of Guinness World Records lists Barry Gibb as the second most successful songwriter in history behind Paul McCartney.[1]

Early life[link]
.png)
Barry Gibb was born to Barbara and Hugh Gibb (d. 1992) in the Isle of Man. He has an older sister, Lesley (b. 1945), and had three younger brothers, fraternal twins Robin (1949–2012) and Maurice (1949–2003), and Andy (1958–1988). He and his family moved to Chorlton-cum-Hardy in Manchester in 1953. When he was 12 years old, his family moved to Brisbane, Australia, settling in one of the city's poorest suburbs, Cribb Island. The suburb was later bulldozed to make way for Brisbane Airport. It was in Australia that Gibb and his brothers Robin and Maurice started performing as the Bee Gees. The Gibb family returned to England in 1967. Shortly afterward, the Bee Gees became international stars.
Career[link]
Gibb had a highly successful career as a member of the Bee Gees, a group which ranks sixth on the all-time top-sellers list. When the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, their citation read "Only Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks and Paul McCartney have outsold the Bee Gees".[2] The trio's contribution to Saturday Night Fever pushed the film's soundtrack past the 40 million mark in sales. It reigned as the top-selling album until Michael Jackson's Thriller. They are the only group in pop history to write, produce, and record six straight No. 1 hits. They have 16 Grammy nominations and nine Grammy wins.
Barry Gibb is also a prolific and successful songwriter. In 1977, Gibb saw five of his songs simultaneously enter the Top Ten of the Billboard Hot 100, and for one week in March, four of the top five songs were written by him. His songs were No. 1 for 27 out of 37 weeks from 24 December 1977 to 2 September 1978. As a songwriter Gibb has had No. 1 songs in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, when "(Barry) Islands in the Stream" became number 1 in the UK as the Comic Relief single for 2009. His songs have been recorded by numerous artists, including José Feliciano, Al Green, Wyclef Jean, Janis Joplin, Jimmy Little, Barry Manilow, Olivia Newton-John, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Kenny Rogers, Diana Ross, Nina Simone, Barbra Streisand, Tina Turner, Conway Twitty, Frankie Valli, Luther Vandross, Sarah Vaughn, Jennifer Warnes, Dionne Warwick, and Andy Williams. Gibb has also produced albums for Andy Gibb, Kenny Rogers, Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand, and Dionne Warwick.
In more recent years, Gibb has participated in a variety of activities, such as appearing as a mentor in the sixth season of American Idol, writing the song "Drown on the River" for movie soundtrack for Deal, and writing the theme music for ITV's Grease Is the Word.
On 2 May 2004, Barry and Robin Gibb received the CBE award at Buckingham Palace with their nephew Adam, who collected the award in honour of his late father, Maurice Gibb.[3]
In January 2006, Gibb purchased the former home of country singers Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash in Hendersonville, Tennessee, intending to restore it and turn it into a songwriting retreat.[4] The house was destroyed by fire on 10 April 2007 while under renovation.[5]
On 14 March 2009, Gibb teamed with Olivia Newton-John to present the one-hour finale performance at a star-studded 12-hour live concert at Sydney's Sydney Cricket Ground, part of Sound Relief, a fundraiser to aid victims of the February 2009 Victorian Bushfires that devastated large tracts of heavily wooded and populated south-eastern Australia, where the Gibb family once lived. The concert was televised live nationally across Australia on the Max TV cable network.
In late 2009, Barry and Robin announced plans to record and perform together once more as the Bee Gees.[6]
On 10 July 2009, Gibb was made a Freeman of the Borough of Douglas (Isle of Man). The award was also bestowed upon his brother Robin, and posthumously upon his brother Maurice.[7] Also in 2009, Barry and Linda Gibb became U.S. citizens. They retained their British citizenship.
On 21 February 2012, Gibb performed his first solo concert in the US at the Seminole Hard Rock Cafe in Florida.[8] He sang "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" with Maurice's daughter, Samantha Gibb, who is a singer in her own band. Barry's son, Steve, was also on stage as lead guitarist and sang a Maurice composition, "On Time".
On 20 May 2012, Robin Gibb died, making Barry the sole surviving Gibb brother.
Personal life[link]
On 1 September 1970 (his 24th birthday), he married the former Miss Edinburgh, Linda Gray. They have five children, Stephen (born 1973), Ashley (born 1977), Travis (born 1981), Michael (born 1984) and Alexandra (born 1991).
In 1994, Barry Gibb, along with brothers Robin and Maurice, was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and in 1997 they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
On 2 May 2004, Barry and Robin Gibb received the CBE award at Buckingham Palace with their nephew Adam, who collected the award in honour of his late father, Maurice Gibb.[9]
In January 2006, Gibb purchased the former home of country singers Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash in Hendersonville, Tennessee, intending to restore it and turn it into a songwriting retreat.[10] The house was destroyed by fire on 10 April 2007 while under renovation.[11]
On 10 July 2009, Gibb was made a Freeman of the Borough of Douglas (Isle of Man). The award was also bestowed upon his brother Robin, and posthumously upon his brother Maurice.[12]
In 2009, Barry and Linda Gibb became U.S. citizens. They retained their British citizenship.
Legislation lobbying[link]
On 7 December 2006, Barry Gibb (along with around 4,500 other musicians) bought a full-page advertisement in the Financial Times newspaper, calling for the British Government to extend the existing 50 year copyright protection of sound recordings in the United Kingdom. The fair play for musicians advertisement proposed the copyright be extended to the American standard of 95 years, and was viewed as a direct response to the Gowers Review (published by the British Government on 6 December 2006), which recommended the retention of the 50 year protection for sound recordings.[13]

Albert William Lee (born 21 December 1943 in Leominster, Herefordshire, England) is an English guitarist known for his fingerstyle and hybrid picking technique. Lee has worked both in the studio and on tour with some of the most famous musicians which stretch through a very wide of genres. He has additionally maintained a solo career and is noted as a composer and musical director as well.
Contents |
Early life[link]
Lee grew up in Blackheath, London. His father was a musician, and Lee studied piano, taking up the instrument at age seven.[1] During this time, he became a fan of Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis. He took up guitar in 1958 when his parents bought him a second-hand Höfner President which he later traded in for a Czechoslovakian Grazioso, the forerunner of the Futurama. Lee left school at the age of 16 to play full-time.
Career[link]
Early career in England[link]
Lee was with a variety of bands from 1959 onwards, playing mostly R&B, country music and rock and roll. In addition to Buddy Holly, his early guitar influences included Cliff Gallup, Grady Martin, The Everly Brothers, Scotty Moore, James Burton and Jerry Reed.[2] Lee first experienced commercial success as the lead guitarist with Chris Farlowe and The Thunderbirds. Lee says that he enjoyed playing the Stax-type material, but he really wanted to play country music. Consequently he left Farlowe and the Thunderbirds in 1968.
During his time playing with Heads Hands & Feet, Lee became a "guitar hero", playing his Fender Telecaster at breakneck speed.[3] Heads Hands & Feet became a very popular live band in the UK, making appearances on The Old Grey Whistle Test and also in Europe, where they appeared on the German music programme Beat-Club.
International success[link]
In 1971, Lee performed with Deep Purple's keyboard player Jon Lord on a live recording of Lord's Gemini Suite. That opus was a follow-up to Deep Purple's Concerto for Group and Orchestra. Ritchie Blackmore had played the guitar at the first live performance of the Gemini Suite in September 1970, but declined the invitation to appear on the live studio version, which led to the involvement of Lee. Other performers were Yvonne Elliman, Ian Paice (Deep Purple), Roger Glover (Deep Purple), Tony Ashton and the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by the late Sir Malcolm Arnold.
Lee left for Los Angeles, California in 1974 and joined The Crickets through his friend bassist Rick Grech (Blind Faith) who also included Sonny Curtis and Jerry Allison. The band cut three albums together including A Long Way From Lubbock. He also received many offers of session work. In 1976, Lee was asked to join Emmylou Harris's Hot Band, replacing one of his heroes, James Burton, who was returning to perform with Elvis Presley. The Hot Band featured other musicians such as Ricky Skaggs and Rodney Crowell. Starting in 1978, Lee worked for five years with Eric Clapton, playing and singing for a live concert recording at the Budokan in Japan.
Lee was responsible for The Everly Brothers 1983 reunion concert and was its musical director.[4] He played regularly with the Everlys for over twenty years.
In 1987, Lee was invited by Gerry Hogan to headline at a steel guitar festival in Newbury, Berkshire. Lee was at first intimidated by the prospect of having to front a band, however, the gig was successful and he now tours with Hogan's Heroes on a regular basis. Hogan's Heroes are renowned for attracting celebrities to their gigs. Stars such as Eric Clapton, Tommy Emmanuel, Lonnie Donegan, Dave Edmunds, Marty Wilde, Willie Nelson, Nanci Griffith, Don Everly, Emmylou Harris, Sonny Curtis and Rodney Crowell have all jammed with the band at one time or another.
In 2002, Lee appeared at the Concert for George. Also in 2002, Lee received a Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance for Foggy Mountain Breakdown from the CD Earl Scruggs and Friends. In September 2006 Lee took part in Primal Twang: The Legacy of the Guitar—the first definitive theatrical journey through the guitar’s colourful and surprisingly controversial 3500-year history. Lee appeared at the 2007 Crossroads Guitar Festival on 28 July and performed with Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings at the Ahmet Ertegun tribute show at The O2 in London on 10 December. A new Albert Lee and Hogan's Heroes album entitled Like This was released in spring 2008 to coincide with their European tour. Lee continues to work in the studio and tours on a regular basis with Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings. He lives in Malibu, California.
Awards, accolades and legacy[link]
Lee has received many awards for his playing, including the five times consecutive winner of Guitar Player magazine's "Best Country Guitarist".[5] Lee is known within the music industry for his speed of playing and his technical virtuosity[6] and yet by the same token, one of the most melodic, playing slower passages approximating the sound of the pedal steel guitar with his Music Man and Telecaster guitars which are equipped with B-Benders.
He is known as "the guitar player's guitar player"[6] because of the presence of so many guitarists, famous or unknown, everywhere he performs. Albert Lee is also referred to as "Mr. Telecaster".[7] A long-time Telecaster player, Lee wrote a foreword to A.R. Duchossoir's book detailing the history of the instrument.
Albert Lee's song "Country Boy" helped to redefine country guitar for a whole generation of players, and was later to become a huge hit for multi-instrumentalist Ricky Skaggs.
Despite positive press from Melody Maker and New Musical Express, Lee has never achieved any great commercial success in terms of record sales during his career, but more as a live performer, session player and sideman, perhaps due to his self-effacing stage presence. Lee has been described by his peers who include Jimmy Page and Ritchie Blackmore, as a complete gentleman who does not know the meaning of the word ego.[3]
Earl Scruggs, commenting on Albert Lee has stated: "I have been a fan and admirer of his guitar work from the first moment I heard him play. I am constantly amazed at his talent. I am sure there are many guitar players who have been influenced by his style and will continue to be influenced for years to come. Albert is in every sense of the word, a genuine guitar wizard".[8]
It is widely quoted that Eric Clapton is on record as stating that Albert Lee is, in his opinion, "the greatest guitarist in the world." Emmylou Harris has stated that Lee is "a brilliant guitar player. His sound is unmistakable—often emulated, never equalled. When Saint Peter asks me to chronicle my time down here on earth, I'll be able to say (with pride if that's allowed) that for a while I played rhythm guitar in a band with Albert Lee."[9]
Reflecting on the Heads Hands & Feet period of his career, Lee has stated: "What amazes me is how many musicians in Nashville have a copy of our first album in their personal record collections, and still ask me what happened to the band."
Guitar collection[link]
Albert Lee owns more than 25 guitars, including Don Everly's Gibson J-200. The Gibson Guitar Corporation made one for Don Everly and the other for Phil. The guitars have an all black, high gloss lacquered finish, and are equipped with twin Everly Brothers white pickguards. The Everly Brothers manager Wesley Rose had wanted the guitar to be presented to the Country Music Hall of Fame, but Everly informed him that guitars like that should be played, not kept sitting in a glass case. Don Everly presented it to Lee, along with his Gibson Everly Brothers model.[2]
Eric Clapton gave Lee the Gibson Les Paul Custom that he played while with Delaney and Bonnie. Lee also plays his signature Music Man (the guitar shown in the photographs) and a 1950s Telecaster (both with custom B-Benders), a 1958 Stratocaster and a Martin 000-28 acoustic.[2]
Confusion with Alvin Lee[link]
Albert Lee is often confused with Alvin Lee[citation needed]. This confusion has led to Alvin Lee being incorrectly credited on many albums in the past[citation needed].

Ashley Monroe (born September 10, 1986 in Knoxville, Tennessee) is an American country music singer-songwriter. She has released two solo singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The singles "Satisfied" and "I Don't Want To" (which featured Brooks & Dunn singer Ronnie Dunn) reached #43 and #37, respectively. Both singles were intended to be released on Monroe's debut album, Satisfied, in 2007, but the album went unreleased. Soon after, Monroe left Columbia Records' roster in late 2007. Satisfied was finally released on May 19, 2009.

Biography[link]
Monroe was born on September 10, 1986 in Knoxville, Tennessee. At age 11, she won a talent contest singing "I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart" in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., and found steady work at a theater there. While growing up, her parents played songs by the Eagles and Lynyrd Skynyrd, so her country rock roots started early on. Monroe's father died from cancer in 2000, when she was just 13. While still grieving over their loss, Monroe and her mother continued on with their lives and moved to Nashville so she could pursue her career in music.
[edit] Satisfied
After a year in Nashville, she gained a publishing deal as a songwriter, which then led to her signing to a record contract with Columbia Records Nashville division, where she began to record her debut album, Satisfied. In 2006, the title track to the album was released as the first single to country radio. It failed to make the top 40 on the Hot Country Songs chart, however, a second single was released shortly after. "I Don't Want To" was released as the second single, which featured Ronnie Dunn of Brooks & Dunn. It initially did well on the charts, charting to #37.
Still after two singles, the album still hadn't been released. The label then decided not to release the album until Monroe charted a top 20 single. But, no follow-up singles were ever released. iTunes briefly had the album available in July 2006 but it was removed from the online store by mid-August.
In late 2007, Monroe and Columbia Records parted ways, and Satisfied went without being released. In addition to her own material, she co-wrote Katrina Elam's 2007 single "Flat on the Floor" (which was also recorded by Carrie Underwood on her 2007 album Carnival Ride), as well as Jason Aldean's 2009 single, "The Truth", and Miranda Lambert's 2011 single, "Heart Like Mine."
In April 2009, it was announced on Monroe's MySpace page that Satisfied would be released to digital retailers (iTunes, Rhapsody, etc.) on May 19, 2009.
In early 2012 Amazon.com and Spotify began streaming and selling a MP3 track called "Promised Land" that was originally recorded for, but left off of, the "Satisfied" album and now is listed as a Bonus Track.
[edit] Ashley Monroe EP
In late 2009 Monroe posted on her MySpace page that she was independently releasing a new self-titled EP. It would only be sold at the live shows. While she was touring with the Ten out of Tenn artists she realized she had nothing to sell to the fans who loved her sets and she wanted to give them something. This EP contains the tracks "Has Anybody Ever Told You", "Angeline", "Drink for Two", "And You" along with Trent Dabbs collaboration "Everything I Wanted".
Collaborations[link]
Trent Dabbs[link]
In early 2008 Ashley Monroe began collaborating with singer-songwriter Trent Dabbs and creating several demo tracks that appeared on their individual MySpace pages over the course of several months before the www.myspace.com/ashleymonroetrentdabbs page was created.

The demo tracks that were available to streams for the Monroe/Dabbs collaboration sessions have been two versions of "Shine" one with Ashley on lead vocals and one with Trent that was then placed on his most recent release.
Other tracks have included "I'm Coming Over", "Laying Low [or I'm Staying Low]", "Now That I Know", "When the Day Is Done", "Everything I Wanted" and "Gone".
The official EP track listing however contains only five of these songs: "I'm Coming Over", "Laying Low", "See Right Through" (the only track that never appeared on MySpace), "Now That I Know" and "Gone".

Pistol Annies[link]
Longtime friends, Monroe, Miranda Lambert and newcomer Angaleena Presley debuted their trio girl band Pistol Annies, with their song "Hell on Heels," on April 22, 2011 on CBS' airing of ACM Girls Night Out. The trio surprised the audience in place of Miranda singing with now husband Blake Shelton. The girls, who all met through working in the industry, have dubbed nicknames for themselves via their band name. Lambert serves as "Lonestar Annie," Monroe "Hippie Annie," and Angaleena as "Holler Annie," as she is from the hills of Kentucky. Per Lambert, whether or not the Annies would release an album will "be up to the fans." The single "Hell on Heels" was released for purchase via the Pistol Annies' website on June 12, 2011. The Pistol Annies' album Hell on Heels was released on August 23, 2011. The trio will also be featured on The Chieftain's upcoming release Voice of Ages on the track "Come All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies".

Patty Loveless (born Patty Lee Ramey, January 4, 1957), is an American country music singer.
Since her emergence on the country music scene in late 1986 with her first (self-titled) album, Loveless has been one of the most popular female singers of the Neotraditional country movement, although she has also recorded albums in the Country pop and Bluegrass genres.
Loveless was born in Pikeville, Kentucky, and was raised in Elkhorn City, Kentucky and Louisville, Kentucky and rose to stardom thanks to her blend of honky tonk and country-rock, not to mention a plaintive, emotional ballad style. Her late-1980s records were generally quite popular, earning her comparisons to Patsy Cline, but most critics agreed that she truly came into her own as an artist in the early 1990s.
To date, Loveless has charted more than forty singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including five Number Ones. In addition, she has recorded fourteen studio albums (not counting compilations); in the United States, four of these albums have been certified platinum, while two have been certified gold.[2]
She is the 65th member of the Grand Ole Opry.
Loveless is also a distant cousin of Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gayle.[3] She has been married twice, first to Terry Lovelace (1976–1986), from whom her professional name "Loveless" is derived, and to Emory Gordy, Jr. (1989–present), who is also her producer.

Biography[link]
Early years[link]
Patty Lee Ramey was born the sixth of seven children to John and Naomie Ramey outside of Pikeville, Kentucky on 4 January 1957. Although born in Pikeville, the family lived in Elkhorn City, Kentucky where her father was a coal miner.
Patty Ramey's interest in music started when she was a young child. In 1969, when she was twelve, the Ramey family moved to Louisville, Kentucky in search of medical care for John Ramey, who was afflicted with "Black Lung Disease" (Coalworker's pneumoconiosis).
Her older sister, Dottie Ramey, was an aspiring country singer, and would perform frequently at small clubs in Eastern Kentucky, with her brother Roger Ramey, known as the "Swinging Rameys". Traveling with Dottie and Roger to Fort Knox in 1969, and hearing her sister perform on stage, Patty Ramey decided that she would like to become a performer as well.[4]
When her sister Dottie married in 1969 and quit performing, Roger Ramey convinced Patty to perform onstage for the first time at a small country jamboree in Hodgenville,Ky. The forum consisted of foldout chairs in a small auditorium and was called the "Lincoln Jamboree". She was terrified at first, but with her brother performed several songs, however she loved the applause she received for her performance, and after the show she was paid five dollars, the first money she ever earned.[4]
Patty Ramey joined her brother Roger and started singing together at several clubs in Louisville Kentucky, under the name "Singin' Swingin' Rameys".[5] Loveless and her brother would perform in various clubs in the Louisville area. A local radio announcer, Danny King with a country radio station in Louisville was a supporter of the Ramey kids. Whenever there was an opportunity for them to appear on stage, he would call up the Rameys and try to get them a booking.[6]
Teenager in Nashville[link]
It was her brother Roger who initially took Patty Ramey to Nashville, Tennessee in 1971. Having grown up listening to the music of the Grand Ole Opry both in Pikeville, and then in Louisville, Roger had moved to Nashville in 1970 and became a producer with The Porter Wagoner Show.
When they arrived in Nashville, Roger went to Porter Wagoner's office without an appointment and managed to introduce his sister to Wagoner. Roger was able to convince Wagoner to listen to his sister sing, and she performed a song she wrote for their father, John, called "Sounds of Loneliness". To both Roger and Patty's surprise, Wagoner thumped his hand on his desk and said he was going to help her out. Wagoner introduced them to his singing partner at the time, Dolly Parton, and encouraged her to go back home and finish school, although he did invite her to travel with him and Dolly Parton on weekends during the summer.[5]
In 1973 Bill Anderson, Connie Smith, the Wilburn Brothers, and Jean Shepard were scheduled to appear in a touring Grand Ole Opry show in Louisville Gardens. However, Jean Shepard was caught in a flood, and she wasn't able to make it in. Danny King, sensing an opportunity, gave the Rameys a call. Loveless and her brother Roger appeared in the show for about fifteen minutes on stage.
The Wilburn Brothers listened to Patty Ramey and after her performance asked her if she had ever sung professionally. She explained that she had worked with Porter Wagoner some and had traveled with him and Dolly Parton on weekends and during the summers. Doyle Wilburn asked if she wanted to come to Nashville and work with their band to replace their female singer, to which Patty Ramey agreed.[7] Between 1973 and 1975 Patty Ramey traveled with the Wilburns on weekends and during the summers when school was out. Loveless's parents insisted that the Wilburns watch over her while on the road.
Doyle Wilburn was slowly grooming Ramey to replace Loretta Lynn as his lead female singer, he also held a music publishing contract on her with Sure-Fire music, his songwriting agency, as Wilburn realized that she was also a very talented songwriter. In addition, during the summer when the group wasn't on the road, Doyle Wilburn had Patty Ramey work at his various enterprises in Nashville, having her wait on tables in one of his restaurants and clerking at his Music Mart USA record store.
After graduation from High School in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1975 Patty Ramey became a full-time member of the Wilburn Brother's band as their lead female singer. About this time she met the Wilburn's new drummer, Terry Lovelace. Lovelace came from a small town in western North Carolina, Kings Mountain, and shared many things in common with Loveless. At first Patty kept her friendship and her growing relationship with Lovelace a secret from the Wilburns, however eventually Dolyle Wilburn learned about it and asked Patty to break it off. However, Ramey being the rebellious teenager instead quit the Wilburns and left with her boyfriend for western North Carolina. In early 1976, she married Terry Lovelace and began performing with him in a pickup-band based in Kings Mountain.[5][7]
North Carolina years[link]
In North Carolina, Patty and her husband Terry played in a circuit of small bars and concert halls. She sang covers of late 70s rock songs, along with Linda Ronstadt and Bonnie Raitt tunes, with the occasional country song. (After her marriage, she adopted the professional name Patty Loveless, as not to draw any connection to porn actress Linda Lovelace [4].)
During this time of her life she also was distant from her family, as she had married without their consent. According to Loveless, "...I think my father thought I had lost my mind. This music is going to just ruin your life... it ruined your life... But it was a music that I learned from again... You wouldn't believe the people that would come to this club. They would get off from work, and they wouldn't go home. They'd come to this club and have a few beers, or ... dance.... I learned a lot about people and life in those places. I mean there was all walks of life... people who had hit the very bottom. And myself, there was times I felt myself becoming one of those people too. There was some hard times for us both, my ex-husband and I. And I think at the time, it caused us to be torn apart, and we lost respect for each other. And it got to the point that we didn't know each other..."[8] A low point of her life was in August 1979, when her father, whom she idolized, died in Louisville while Loveless was in North Carolina.
The years in North Carolina were not successful for her, as the police started busting the clubs she would perform in and shut them down. When she wasn't performing she was working as a waitress at her mother-in-law's restaurant. By 1984, she was singing in a club and was singing country music for a change of the rock she would normally perform. There was a new generation of artists in Nashville, singers like Ricky Skaggs and Emmylou Harris who were changing the traditions of country music.[5]
According to Loveless, "...I learned so much about what to feel in a song from those years of playing those clubs. I was saddened sometimes because I thought 'I left Nashville, I left all that for this? What happened to me? What is wrong with me?' But I think what was happening was that I was beginning to find... me. Find who I really was. And what kind of person I was inside and out. I still believe to this day it happened the way it was supposed to happen."[8]
Return to Nashville[link]
In April 1985, Loveless felt her marriage to Terry Lovelace was ending (they eventually divorced amicably in 1986). She contacted her brother Roger to help her get back to Nashville. After being in the rock 'n' roll scene for so long she felt completely out of the country-music loop but wanted to sing country music again. Roger Ramey helped his sister cut a five-song demo tape, one of them being a rough cut of her self-penned song "I Did", which Loveless first wrote as a teenager, then later included on her first album. Roger Ramey then began to spread the word around about her talent. She and her brother disagreed about including "I Did" on the demo tape. Loveless didn't believe the song was good enough, but Roger argued that it would be what got her a contract. Once the demo was finished, Roger started trying to get her a recording contract with a major label in Nashville.[5][9]
Roger Ramey sent the demo tape out to every major label in Nashville, and was met with a solid wall of rejection by them all. After a month of not getting anywhere, out of desperation to help his sister, he decided to take a chance with MCA Nashville. MCA, being the industry leader at the time was his first choice of labels. Taking a cassette of the five song demo of Loveless, Roger bluffed his way past the receptionist of Tony Brown, the head of A&R (Artist & Repertoire – in charge of finding and developing new talent) by pretending to be someone else who was late for an appointment.
As soon as they met, Roger told Brown him he had the "best girl singer to ever come to Nashville". Tony Brown said he'd give Roger 30 seconds to sell him, and he quickly played the tape of Patty singing "I Did". Brown listened to the entire five-song tape, and asked Roger to leave it with him so he could play it for some other execs and get back to him. Roger refused and told Brown that he wanted a commitment that day, and if he didn't want her on MCA, he knew another label that did.
With Roger Ramey waiting in his office, Brown took the tape to Jimmy Bowen, President of MCA Nashville at the time. Hearing the tape, Bowen wasn't impressed with Loveless, but told Brown to go ahead and sign her, but only to a short-term, singles-only recording contact.[5]
MCA years (1985–1992)[link]
Tony Brown brought in one of his top producers, Emory Gordy, Jr., to help develop Loveless for MCA. Together, they produced a series of songs for Loveless, and all of them were released to radio stations with varying degrees of success. MCA released her first single, "Lonely Days, Lonely Nights" on December 7, 1985, charting on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for 8 weeks, reaching #46 on January 25, 1986.[10]
Loveless' second single, "I Did", was released in April 1986. The song had gone out with releases from four other MCA singers, all of whom had album contracts. Shortly after its release, Roger Bowen asked Loveless to come into his office where he explained to her that he wanted to pull the song from radio because it was succeeding too well. "I have to be fair to the other artists". In return, he would give Loveless an album deal and she could release "I Did" as a single from her first album. This gave birth to the self-titled Patty Loveless album, being initially released on October 1, 1986 in a promotional form, with a full release on February 21, 1987.[10] Several other singles, "Wicked Ways" and "After All", were released from that album, which again, did not do well on the charts but garnered sufficient airplay that Tony Brown decided to sign Loveless to a long-term recording contract.[5]
It was her second album, If My Heart Had Windows, released on January 25, 1988, was the one that got Loveless noticed in the country music world. "If My Heart Had Windows" and a Steve Earle song, "A Little Bit in Love", both of which reached the country music top 10.[10] Also, in 1988 Loveless was invited to join the Grand Ole Opry, which put her firmly in Nashville to stay. The critics praised Loveless' first two albums, but they didn't sell all that well. On the road, Loveless was the opening act for the top MCA artists, such as George Jones, Reba McEntire and George Strait, which had people coming early to the shows to hear her sing. However, her concert popularity did not translate into album sales for her label.[5]
For Loveless' third album Honky Tonk Angel, Tony Brown took over as sole producer. Brown used his shrewd commercial instincts by releasing a series of upbeat, up-tempo singles from the album, one after another. With five tracks from the album charting in the Billboard Top Ten Country Singles, including two at #1, it served as the breakthrough album for Loveless. The album itself was Loveless' highest charting at #7 on the Country Albums category. The two #1 singles were "Chains" and "Timber, I'm Falling In Love". Loveless also did a cover of the Lone Justice song, "Don't Toss Us Away", which featured Rodney Crowell on backing vocals. The song charted at #5. Famed songwriter Kostas had a major role by writing three of the album's tunes, including "Timber, I'm Falling in Love" and "The Lonely Side of Love", which peaked at #6.[5][10]
In February, 1989 Loveless and her producer, Emory Gordy, Jr. secretly married in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. For a year and a half afterward, they publicly hid the fact that they were married, in large part because Loveless didn't want to hurt her former husband, Terry Lovelace, who still loved his former wife and hoped to rejoin her.[5][11]
While at MCA, Loveless released two more albums, On Down the Line in 1990 and Up Against My Heart in 1991, scoring hits with songs such as "I'm That Kind of Girl"; "Hurt Me Bad (In a Real Good Way)", and "Jealous Bone". She toured endlessly and performed on television frequently.
Although MCA had given her stardom, there was the belief (rightly or wrongly) that the record label did not promote her albums well. Both Loveless and her husband believed that her career was just not taking off the way they believed it would if she had the same level of promotion as Reba McEntire, Trisha Yearwood and Wynonna. Changes in her band, also replacing her brother Roger as her manager did not improve matters. The fact remained that the other female singers on MCA were selling millions of records, while Loveless, with a gold record for Honky Tonk Angel, sold less than half of that with her two follow-up albums.
Larry Fitzgerald, her new manager believed a major change was in order. At the end of 1992, Fitzgerald met with Tony Brown to try to get Loveless out of her MCA contract. He worked out an agreement with MCA that Loveless could leave the label, but retained an option to record with other MCA artists on the MCA Label. Quickly, Fitzgerald arranged a meeting with Roy Wunsch, the head of Sony Nashville. Their Epic label was looking for a "name" female singer and worked out a contract for Loveless to record for Sony under their Epic label.[5]
Throat surgery and a new voice[link]
With the new recording contract, Loveless headed into the recording studio to record new material for Epic. In the studio, her producer (Gordy) noticed that her voice was not as strong as it had been when she last recorded two years previously. The fact was that beginning as far back as 1990, Loveless felt some pain in her throat when singing, and when she saw a doctor, he noticed a red spot on her vocal cords. By 1992, Loveless was on a regimen of steroid tablets and cortisone to prop up her voice.[12]
Despite the voice problem, Loveless had booked a fall 1992 tour. Also she had been invited to appear on a CBS television special about "Women In Country". The day before leaving on the tour she asked her manager to accompany her to her throat doctor's office. In the office, her doctor compared her 1990 results versus what he saw during the exam. Her vocal cords had developed an enlarged blood vessel that looked like a varicose vein. The juxtaposition was dramatic. If not treated, it could end her career and there was no guarantee that surgery could correct the problem.
Although Loveless went ahead and sang in the television special, her manager canceled all of her tour dates for the rest of 1992. On October 21, Loveless had corrective throat surgery. For the next nine weeks, she could not sing or talk. Her husband, in order to communicate with her, attempted to teach Loveless Morse Code, as well as using pen and paper with yellow Post-It notes.[5][12] After this her interest in Amateur Radio developed and she was eventually licensed with the callsign KD4WUJ,[13] although her license currently shows as canceled.[14]
On her 36th birthday, January 4, 1993, Loveless re-entered her professional life by performing at the Grand Ole Opry. She was fully recovered, although her voice was changed by the surgery. It had a deeper, fuller quality which enhanced her career over the following years.[5]
Epic Records years (1993–2005)[link]
Going back to work in the studio, Loveless and Gordy re-recorded all the material they had worked on the previous fall. The changed voice was stronger than what it was previously and a different Patty Loveless recorded her first album for Epic, Only What I Feel. The album was released in April and was promoted strongly and heavily by Epic. Loveless' #1 single "Blame It On Your Heart" firmly put her back into the spotlight. The release of Only What I Feel gave Loveless two CMA nominations for Single of the Year and Video of the Year for "How Can I Help You Say Goodbye". Some critics said that this album with Epic was her personal best.
In 1994, Loveless contributed the song "When I Reach the Place I’m Going" to the AIDS benefit album Red Hot + Country produced by the Red Hot Organization.
Perhaps her crowning achievement was that album's follow-up, When Fallen Angels Fly. It won the Country Music Association's Album of the Year award and gave her four Top 10 singles. She followed it up with The Trouble with the Truth in 1996 which gave her Female Vocalist of the Year awards from both the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association.
Although she continued to record for Epic throughout the 1990s and into the early 2000s, her commercial momentum slowed down, as neotraditionalist artists like Loveless were eclipsed on country radio by flashier, trendier young performers like Shania Twain and Faith Hill; none of the singles released from her 1997 album Long Stretch of Lonesome or 2000's Strong Heart reached the top ten. (The albums themselves continued to do well, however, with Long Stretch reaching # 9, and Strong Heart peaking at #13 on the country albums charts.)
In an effort to control her own destiny, rather than be controlled by country radio, Loveless made an abrupt move away from commercial, country/pop and made a stone-cold bluegrass album in 2001. Mountain Soul was released to numerous critical accolades and sold decently despite a lack of radio support. She used the same bluegrass approach on a Christmas album, Bluegrass & White Snow: A Mountain Christmas, in 2002. On Your Way Home, a return to more commercial oriented country, was released in 2003 to critical acclaim. Though she has not scored a top-forty country single since "On Your Way Home" reached # 29 in 2004, Loveless' albums still do well, usually charting in the country albums top forty, despite the fact that she no longer has the support of mainstream country radio or a major label.
In 2005 she released Dreamin' My Dreams. While critical reception was good, it did not fare well commercially. The album debuted and peaked at number 29 on Billboard's country album chart while no song from the album made the singles chart. This was the last album Loveless recorded for Epic Records before the label closed its Nashville division in 2005 and released Loveless from her recording contract.
Recent endeavors[link]
After her release from Sony Nashville, in 2006 Loveless sang a duet with Bob Seger on his Face the Promise album, also collaborating with Solomon Burke on his Nashville album and performing a duet, "Out Of My Mind", with Vince Gill on his album These Days. This was their first recorded duet since "My Kind of Woman, My Kind of Man", which they recorded in 1998.
She took a two-year sabbatical from touring in 2006 and 2007 to heal from the loss of her mother & mother-in-law and enjoy home life with husband Emory Gordy, Jr., though she & Gordy performed several times at the Grand Ole Opry and did a couple of guest appearances at other shows.
Returning to the studio in 2008, Loveless appeared on a track on George Strait's Troubadour album, as well as a track on Jimmy Wayne's Do You Believe Me Now. Later in 2008, Loveless signed a recording contract with Saguaro Road Records.,[15] and recorded a Tribute album, Sleepless Nights, which was released on September 9.[15] Sleepless Nights received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Country Album.
Patty's second recording for Saguaro Road, Mountain Soul II, was released on September 29, 2009. Mountain Soul was originally released in 2001 by Epic.
Loveless resumed touring in September 2008, and continued touring through 2010, though breaking from touring in 2011.[16]
Loveless was also a judge for the 6th annual Independent Music Awards to support independent artists' careers.[17]
Loveless was inducted into The Kentucky Music Hall of Fame on April 7, 2011.[18]
