Dean's on fire: "Zoom" by Fat Larry's Band (one of my CG faves that never made it over here), "Albatross" and "Copacabana"! Have a banana!

I'm doing the country thang today

http://www.legends1430.com

a Classic Country station in St Louis.  Got to hear TWO of Waylon Jennings' many interesting covers: Neil Young's "Are You Ready For the Country" and the MTB's "Can't You See".  Yee Haw!

By his own admission, what really broke Waylon big time was when he opened up for the Grateful Dead in 1973.  I was fortunate to see the show at Kezar (the week before Zep) and was quite impressed.  The next time he came through town, we went to see him at the Boarding House, and he said "Where are the Dead?  They said they'd come, I'm gonna kill 'em!  But for those of you who came to see us when we played with them, it taught us we don't have to make it in Nashville to make it."

and here's Bobby Bare doing Ian Tyson's "Four Strong Winds", later covered by Neil Young among many others.

Hey Mike - Does that station do '70s countrypolitan?  I'm talking about stuff like:

Lynn Anderson, "Rose Garden"
Charlie Rich, "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World"
B.J. Thomas, "Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song"
Crystal Gayle, "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue"
Anne Murray, "Walk Right Back"
Ronnie Milsap, "It Was Almost Like a Song"

I don't know how to search for that stuff without diving headlong into the country music that I *hate*.  Is "countrypolitan" the right search term?  I might be misusing the term.

Thanks for any info,
Gaz.

You're likely to hear all those songs on this station.  You'll also suffer thru the occasional Hank Williams Jr, but mostly worth it. I've heard LOTS of Anne Murray (the jock yesterday introduced her as a  "former PE teacher" without a trace of irony -- LOL!) The Milsap tune -- god, what a flashback. Best. Manilow. Imitation. Ever.

"Countrypolitan" was a term invented to describe late '50s/early '60s country-pop like Patsy Cline, whose stuff is considered trad now but at the time was considered "too slick" by traditionalists.  If the name Anita Kerr means anything to you, she was instrumental in the creation of the "countrypolitan" sound.

as if on cue: Country Legends 1430 plays Lynn A's "Rose Garden".  

Of course the k.d. lang version is great too...

And here's Don Williams' version of "Tulsa Time" -- much better than Clapton's, IMHO.

ETA: followed by Skeeter Davis, "End of the World" -- now THAT'S "countrypolitan"!

and -- OMG! Terry Gibbs, "Somebody's Knockin"!

I'm tuned in today just for a change of scenery--this was the first song I heard. Not bad so far. Whatcha See is Whatcha Get, even My Prerogative had me cube dancing (now there's a visual for ya...)

LOL! Bobby "Preparation H" Brown's original of "Perogative" sounds especially good compared to Britney's unnecessary cover.

"What is this, a blizzard?"

Hell to the no!
