Who does not love good music?! More than that, how about a piece of music with a great story, has thought-provoking lyrics, haunting steel guitar(s), and a seemingly endless array of musicians who have re-made the SAME piece of music?! Well, look no further....I present "Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues".
There are a few questions to ponder prior to listening to the tune: Who is Charlie? Where did he live? Did he have a prescription for those "pills"?, and how much precipitation does Charlie's town actually get each year?!
My intent it present my Top 5 and, of course, generate a highly influential blog post that earns me millions of dolla bills, garners global attention on folks named Charlie, and facilitates world peace. Actually, a laugh or two will suffice.
Numero Uno!
We begin with the original by the prolific Danny O'Keefe. Is that a raccoon hat he is sporting?
Number Two!
Dwight Yoakam taking the #2 spot with his Tex-Mex (my opinion) take on the classic!
