It's that time of year when the sun really dominates the lives of us country folk. Up at five to start watering on the farm and doing any necessary digging/ repairing fences before the heat becomes intolerable by 11.00 am.

Hats off (or on in their case, hats on) to Asian labourers forced to toil through this heat

I've always thought Paul Rodgers composed some wonderful tunes but the lyrics heaved.

However, this line stuck in my head 

" Will tomorrow, like yesterday, fade away?''

 

 

Happy Songkran, all.

 

 

Down On The Farm featuring bannork and his Band Of Musical Farm Animals.  Circa today.
 

 

There's only one poster here with a straw between his teeth dangling out of his mouth whilst singing Thank God I'm A Country Boy.  I'm not naming names. 
 

 

The Watersons with Country Life off of their '75 For Pence And Spicy Ale LP.
 

 

Country Song, also known as The Red Queen Theme, is an untitled country-styled song by Pink Floyd recorded in '69.
 

 

Pete Townshend & Ronnie Lane with Annie off of their collaborative '77 Rough Mix LP.
 

 

Steve Earle with the title track off of his '88 Copperhead Road LP.

 

 

A squirt of ketchup on the rained-out picnic of '79’s Led Zeppelin In Through The Out Door, Hot Dog was pure joy, and pure rockabilly country circa 1957.
 

 

Metallica's James Hetfield bared his soul on Mama Said from their '96 Load LP.
 

 

Theirs was an unlikely union, but bluegrass fiddle player/vocalist Alison Krauss loved Led Zeppelin and Robert Plant loved country. This single from their 2008 hit album Raising Sand was originally on Plant and Jimmy Page’s reunion studio LP Walking Into Clarksdale.  But Krauss’s charming voice breathed new life into a song that built to an almost Zeppelin-style climax, with Plant oohing and aahing like a randy old hillbilly goat.

 

 

The Byrds performing One Hundred Years From Now off of their '68 Sweetheart Of The Rodeo LP.
 

 

Neil Young with Are You Ready For The Country off of his '74 Harvest album.
 

 

The Rolling Stones with Dead Flowers off of their '71 Sticky Fingers LP.

 

 

Someone recently suggested I play some esoteric rock music.  Again, not naming names.  George Harrison and the London Hare Krishna devotees recorded the Hare Krishna mantra in '69 and released it as a single.
 

 

David Lynch with his '92 The Pink Room single.
 

 

Great to see you back,Tippers, at least now and again between your important work assignments.

Here's a song that always wakes my cows in the morning. Perhaps the reference to straw stimulates their taste buds..
