I enjoy that song by Tish, and Sweet Tequila Blues is the Taylor/Rodriguez song I heard in the Cambridge funky shop. Small world. It's also my favorite Taylor/Rodriguez, followed perhaps by the duo's rendition of Angel of the Morning (written by . . . hmmmm, Chip Taylor, who also wrote Wild Thing, and recorded by, most notably, Merrilee & the Turnabouts and Juice Newton). Those songs are among those that hooked me on the duo and eventually on Rodriguez's and can't-sing-a-lick Taylor's solo work.

Cosy Sheridan?

Lucy Kaplansky?

Diane Ziegler?

Hudson and Frankie?

Or my favorite far-leftie since the very late 1970s, UT's own Nanci Griffith.

Hudson and Frankie, along with Lyle Lovett, are sidewalk people in front of the Woolworth's on the cover of Nanci's 'Last of the True Believers,' the album with Rita and steel-guitar-playing Eddie and their Love at the Five and Dime, a Nanci song that Kathy Mattea later recorded, which Nanci reprised on One Fair Summer Evening and perhaps Anderson Fair, both live albums.

I'd enjoy hearing your KFF stories and I'd love to meet you and your sister.

Please accept my condolences regarding your cherished wife. Perhaps a KFF someday in the future in memory of her life. I'd be honored and humbled.

Thanks for the kind reply. May have to play Sweet Tequila Blues for the Canteen tonight. This being the Friday Silliness thread, just thought of a Jon Ims at KFF tune that would fit right in ...

Jon Ims - The Day Daddy Cut The Big One

Jon wrote 'She's in love with the boy' and Trisha Yearwood had her biggest hit with it. I also got to hear Lucinda Williams sing around the campfire after she wrote 'Passionate Kisses, Drunken Angel and 'changed the locks'. Great times for songwriters.
