Your Favourite folk and country songs and music Old and new!"!

One more a song by Ron Sexsmith (got to be a cheesy stage name surely) who I discovered at the same time as Rufus and Teddy.


And a whole different vibe in thay genre,

Couldn't find a folk and country thread so as it's my very favourite genre I thought I'd start one.

Please feel free to move it SB if there is already one running!! :D


Let's kick off with a modern one which always makes me smile...

Since I retired I've been recording my version of songs from all genres. This one is a C&W Waylon Jennings' tune. I'm certainly no professional, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Hope I'm not being too indulgent. If the response is poor I won't post any more of my stuff.
Thanks!

Thanks! You made my night! I love "Abilene", "Crying" and "Don't Think Twice It's Alright". Jennings does great "covers" of songs by other artists. I also like "Women Do Know How To Carry On". I thought it was a negative song initially, but then I realized he was actually praising women. He was being interviewed once and was asked if being signed by Chet Atkins was a case of nepotism. He said, "well I guess I'll have to call my friend Kris Kristofferson up and ask him what that there word nepotism means." Kristofferson was a Rhodes scholar who turned down an offer to teach literature at West Point so he could pursue a career in country music!
