E.E. Lawson--Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Perfect for that open G slide, if you change the key.
How perfectly goddamned delightful it all is, to be sure.

It's very hard to pick just one, but one I've always loved which sums up how I feel most of the time is "All You Need is Love" by The Beatles.

The Beatles made some good songs. One of my favorites was Nobody's Child, one they did in 1960, before they became famous.

Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is probably my all-time favourite song. I remember it being used on an episode of The West Wing .... absolutely brilliant

I love that song. I know every man and his dog have covered it, but I really like Jeff Buckley's cover of it - just beautiful!

My thoughts of which is song is my favourite is rather like sand; it shifts with the weather so to speak. Currently I favour Phildel's Storm Song.

Im the same way, just about every day I have a different favorite song. One that has been a favorite of mine is Sing, Sing, Sing from Benny Goodman's 1938 Live Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert.

I watched the movie Blue Velvet a few nights ago & the song is on a loop in my head since ... it was the best part of that stupid movie IMO

I agree, Blue Velvet was the kind of a movie you want two copies of, one to dump on and one to cover it with.
