6.20.17    Special Guest Alex Smith plays Jimmy Reed.

6.20.17Another Alex Smith Original. With a touch of the Kinks!

With special guests Vicky Harris and Paul Carne

3.7.17 Love this song! Best version: Ray Charles and Willie Nelson duet.

2.28.17   Take 35.  Mistake free.....almost!

2.16.17    An audition of this song lead to a record deal for Simon and Garfunkel but the first album (1964) was a commerical failure and the duo broke up. The song was overdubbed with electric instruments without the artists' knowledge and became a No. 1 hit in 1966, leadiing the two to reunite.

2.16.17     Lesson learned: don't get out of bed to wash your face.

Hank Williams, Leonard Cohen, Kenny Rogers, Tennessee Ernie Ford. Got to love it!

2.7.17     Written by Hank Williams in 1950 for his wife Audrey who was hospitalized after an abortion and blamed Hank for her suffering.

2.7.17    Leonard Cohen's most overplayed but great, great song.

1.31.17     Originally it was a 1945 French song, "Les feuilles mortes", with music by Hungarian-French composer Joseph Kosma and lyrics by poet Jacques Prévert.

1.31.17     Written by Wayne Carson, Johnny Chrisopher and Mark James. Recored by many, most famously Elvis Presley, 1972 and Willie Nelson, 1982.

1.24.17     Wirtten by Kris Kristofferson in 1970, who was inspired by Frank Sinatra who when asked what he believed in, Frank replied, "Booze, broads, or a bible...whatever helps me make it through the night."

1.17.17     Written in 1938 by Hoagy Carmichael. First recorded by Glenn Milller in 1940. More recently a beautiful, soulful rendition by Norah Jones, 2011.

6.20.17     Alex Smith Original.  Beautiful song that I can't get out of my head. Don't want to!

6.20.17   Bob Dylan classic covered by many. And now us!!!

4.11.17   Written by Marcus Hummon, Bobby Boyd and Jeff Hanna in 1994. Most famous version by Rascal Flatts.  Won Grammy in 2005.

4.11.17   Paul Carne orginal.

3.28.17   Hank Williams classic with Dan on fiddle.

3.28.17 Early Leonard Cohen. First take. Michael and Dan had never heard the song.

3.7.17 New take with better microphone.

All Simon and Garfunkel songs!

2.16.17    Paul Simon's largely autobiographical 1969 hit is ranked 106 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

2.16.17    Paul Simon tours England in 1964 and misses Kathy.

2.7.17    This song is usually attributed to Merle Travis, 1946, but George Davis, a Kentucky coal miner, claims to have written an earlier version in the 1930's. It is most associated with Tennessee Ernie Ford, 1955.

2.7.17     Made famous by Kenny Rogers in 1978 but written by Don Schlitz in 1976. Michael claims to have whipped his ass in a Nashville golf game.

1.31.17     Originally sung by Dick Haymes in the 1945 film Diamond Horseshoe. Written by Warren and Gordon.

1.31.17     Murray Low original.  Nice guitar solo by Michael.

1.24.17     From Porgy & Bess. George Gershwin, 1934. Played this as a sax solo in high school band (a while ago).

1.24.17      1962 classic by our latest Nobel laureate. Dylan was never shy about borrowing liberally. If you get a chance, listen to "Who's Gonna Buy You Ribbons When I'm Gone?" by Paul Clayton, 1960. It gives license to the rest of us.Uploaded by Murray Low Music on 2017-02-16.

1.24.17      From my first record. One of my favorites. Includes multiple fruits.

1.17.17      "All I Have to Do is Dream" This 1958 song by the Everly Brothers is ranked No. 142 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs. When Michael and I do it, it is by the Elderly Brothers.
