Music Monday – “I’ve been drinkin’ to remember and drinkin’ to forget/I got “I love you” on my mind, I got Jim Beam on my breath”

  I posted a Cody Jinks song before I went on holidays so why not post another Jinks’ song since it was in the top three of my most listened to songs over the past couple weeks (with the other two – “Cumberland Gap” by Jason Isbell and “Tear Stained Eye” by Son Volt both […]

Music Monday – “Raising hell with the hippies and the cowboys/They don’t care about no trends/They don’t care about songs that sell”

When we’re camping in Weyburn I can’t help but think how I’m basically the hippie surrounded by a big herd of cowboys. But the point of this song stands – people who seem to be opposites can still get along if they see their commonality in defining their own tastes without giving in to trends […]

(Belated) Music Monday – “He’s acting tough and taking names/And shuttin’ us down/But at least we got something to talk about/When Monday rolls around”

Or if you prefer a version without drunk riggers singing along… “Oil Patch Town” – Chris Knight

Music Monday – “Mama said “she’s my brothers daughter” and I don’t even know who’s my father/I guess she’s my cousin but she needs some sweet lovin’ anyway!”

When did I get into banjo music?!? Isn’t it music for inbred rednecks? 😉 “Banjo Odyssey” – The Dead South from Regina, Saskatchewan (who took some criticism for playing with those banjo/inbreeder stereotypes and issued an explanation in response)

Music Monday – “Started from the bottom, now we’re here/Started from the bottom, now my whole team fuckin’ here”

I know this song isn’t technically about the Raptors but since it’s written by their biggest celebrity fan and the lyrics (sorta) fit, I thought I’d post it. “Started From The Bottom” – Drake

Music Monday – “And your hollows on like a frozen freight train/You know that I help you if I can/But I’m just a raindrop in a river/Just a little itty-bitty grain of sand”

“Wait So Long” – Trampled By Turtles

Music Monday – “I’m up after midnight, cooking/Trying to make my rent/I’m rough but I’m pleasin’/I was raised on robbery”

Music Monday – “You can set my house on fire, baby/You can turn it into cinder and smoke/’Cause this house is mighty cold and I feel like/Melting all the snow away”

The first single from Tyler Childer’s upcoming album was my most played track of the long weekend… “House Fire” – Tyler Childers

Music Monday – “I want you, I need you/But there ain’t no way I’m ever gonna love you/Now don’t be sad/’Cause two out of three ain’t bad”

If I post a single song from Meatloaf’s “Bat Out of Hell” album, I feel like I should post every song from the album since they’re all so interconnected. But instead, I’ll just post a few of the album’s biggest tracks instead of a single song I usually do for “Music Monday”. (And as a […]
