Friday Night Extra 21.2.20 A little bit country

Tonight we had a different playlist to usual. We celebrated birthdays and had the vintage chart from 1982. Almost all the other tracks were country. We nodded towards the heritage of country music with Jim Reeves, Dolly Parton and Jonny Cash. Most of the tracks were contemporary and showed the breadth of music under the country label.

Tonight’s playlist

Alison Krauss – Lucky one

Jim Reeves – Distant drums – requested by Phyl in  Enfield

Black – Wonderful life – request by Patrick in Ingatestone. Written as an ironic song when he was broke. Black commented when it was a hit in 1987  most people took it literally. We decided to take it literally as well.

Midland – Mr lonely – check out the line dancing on the video.

North Country – Fox on the run

Birthdays.

Nina Simone RIP would have been 87 years old today. We played My baby just cares for me. 1957 recording. UK top 10 hit in 1987 because it featured in a perfume commercial.
