Older Country Love Songs
Permalink   


Feeling kind of sentimental tonight and have been spinning a few older country songs on CC Radio.

Have the Eagles playing "I Can't Tell You Why" on at present, yep, Vince Gill also does the song, but just thought, now this is what I think of when i think country lovin. Maybe just showing my age or something?

Well I wasnt around to hear that song play, but I LOVE the Eagles.  Mike, do you ever play Chris LeDoux??? Have to say I wasnt to much into him in the past, but have alot of his songs now and just love them!!! I also found a guy by the name of Chris Knight who is great. To me he sounds like a rougher John Mellencamp, who is in his own right is great.

Mike, it came out in 1985.  Dan Seals sand this song in a duet with Marie Osmond.  It went all the way to number 1.


Sincerely,


Patrick



Seals went solo in 1980, signing with Atlantic and keeping the name England Dan for his debut album, Stones. In 1981, he underwent a grueling battle with the IRS that cost him nearly everything he owned. His follow-up album, Harbinger, stiffed, and he turned his attention to country music, adapting his style to fit the demands of country radio while still keeping his signature soft sound. Signed to Liberty/Capitol, he scored a pair of Top Ten hits on the country charts in 1984 with "(You Bring Out) The Wild Side of Me" and "God Must Be a Cowboy." "My Old Yellow Car" and "My Baby's Got Good Timing" had similar success in 1985, and his next single, a duet with Marie Osmond called "Meet Me in Montana," went all the way to number one. It also kicked off a spectacular run of nine straight chart-toppers: 1986 brought "Bop" and "Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold)"; 1987 saw "I Will Be There," "Three Time Loser," and "You Still Move Me"; 1988 featured "Addicted" and "One Friend"; and 1989 gave him one more in "Big Wheels in the Moonlight." Not only that, he managed two more number ones in 1990, thanks to "Good Times" and "Love on Arrival." However, the arrival of Garth Brooks abruptly changed the country landscape, and Seals found his style out of favor. He moved to Warner Brothers in 1991, without much success, and despite releasing a few recordings on smaller labels in the latter half of the '90s, he was effectively a touring artist for the remainder of the decade. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

 I did enjoy it Mike.  When I hear this song, I think of my father who died at 77 years of age this past summer.  I hope to meet him and everyone else again some day in heaven.


Sincerely,


Patrick

I turned 12 the year that the Common Thread Tribute To The Eagles album was released and I love every song on it!

God bless you always!!!
