"Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues" - A Brief History

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!


#3!

Elvis, need I write more? I did not think so.


#Quatro!

I love that Chuck felt the need to adjust the age....when are we not a kid anymore?


Nummer Fünf!

Excuse me, is this Tom Hank's wife?


I hope you enjoyed this whimsical music journey....pls Like, Comment, Subscribe, RT, Repost, etc.
