Here is a cover of one of my favorite CCR songs for today’s #CountryRockSunday. m.youtube.com/watch?v=gkl5...
This song came up in a playlist this week. I knew it had to be this week’s contribution to #CountryRockSunday. From 1973… m.youtube.com/watch?v=O9G0...
#5CoverSongsSpace #musicchallenge Day 1 This was the first song that came to mind as I really like it but then I like most everything she has done. m.youtube.com/watch?v=XJPo...
#5CoverSongsSpace #musicchallenge Day 4 Joan Osborne covering Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" ⛅on her 2007 album "Breakfast in Bed". www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YUB...

Today’s #CountryRockSunday selection comes courtesy of @countryuniverse.net. Their review brought this singer and album to my attention. m.youtube.com/watch?v=nCLi...
It’s #CountryRockSunday. I wanted to feature this group as they fit country rock perfectly but I couldn’t decide which song. So I went back to the first song of theirs I heard. Here is a live version. m.youtube.com/watch?v=C1v-...
Here’s a second for today’s #CountryRockSunday as I missed last week. I was introduced to him at a festival many years ago. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wnw-...
How about the Old 97’s covering Merle Haggard? #CountryRockSunday m.youtube.com/watch?v=E5rv...
Got any Mother's Day suggestions for #CountryRockSunday? Lola Kirke paints a very specific portrait of her larger-than-life mother. There's apron strings and laundry And the homemade matriarchy But when I think of my mama I think of Marlboro Lights and Madonna
#5CoverSongsAndThe #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 1 Echo & The Bunnymen cover The Doors from the movie “The Lost Boys”. Good movie and good cover. m.youtube.com/watch?v=rwNx...

#5CoverSongsAndThe #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 4 I saw a few covers of "Crimson and Clover" in this challenge but how about a cover of another Tommy James and the Shondells song. No, not the Tiffany version but by Lene Lovich? www.youtube.com/watch?v=amu9...

#ArtistFaveAlbumTrax #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Track 1: I like these mini-challenges. Lots to choose at #1 but looking at my avatar, this should be no surprise. I love this song. m.youtube.com/watch?v=QKcN...
#ArtistFaveAlbumTrax #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Track 7: Something a little different today. This song is one of my favorites from the album “Got No Shadow”. m.youtube.com/watch?v=RbP5...
#ArtistFaveAlbumTrax #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Track 8: With a length of 4:32, this song is long enough to fill up my Side 2 so this is the final song on my vinyl album. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAOC...
I can’t miss #CountryRockSunday. Here’s mine for today. m.youtube.com/watch?v=LkG1...
#ArtistFaveAlbumTrax #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Track 1: I like these mini-challenges. Lots to choose at #1 but looking at my avatar, this should be no surprise. I love this song. m.youtube.com/watch?v=QKcN...
#ArtistFaveAlbumTrax #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Track 5: I apologize for not being very original. You flip over the album and put on Side 2 (the 5th song), I’m not sure I know of a better song in that spot. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu4_...
#ArtistFaveAlbumTrax #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Track 6: Seems I'm going for longer musical selections. For Track 6, one of my favorite album cuts from the Allman Brothers. From their excellent debut album.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESDq...
#ArtistFaveAlbumTrax #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Track 1: I like these mini-challenges. Lots to choose at #1 but looking at my avatar, this should be no surprise. I love this song. m.youtube.com/watch?v=QKcN...
#ArtistFaveAlbumTrax #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Track 3: This was released as a single but did nothing so I’m putting it in as my 3rd track. Good opportunity to get these guys in. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh-r...
#ArtistFaveAlbumTrax #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Track 4: How about a nice long jam at #4 before flipping the record over? m.youtube.com/watch?v=KflC...
#ArtistFaveAlbumTrax #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Track 1: I like these mini-challenges. Lots to choose at #1 but looking at my avatar, this should be no surprise. I love this song. m.youtube.com/watch?v=QKcN...
#ArtistFaveAlbumTrax #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Track 2: I could have chosen “Ramblin’ Man” or “Losing My Religion” but they were well known outside the album so I chose this song which fits perfectly on its album after “Black Dog”. m.youtube.com/watch?v=gRGA...
Some good selections today for #CountryRockSunday. Today my post remembers Jon Dee Graham who passed away on 3/27/26. m.youtube.com/watch?v=2djZ...
