Music Monday - Rolling Stones - Rough and Twisted

 Hello folks. I do hope you are doing well.

  Today's entry for Music Monday was released by today by the Rolling Stones. Rough and Twisted is from their upcoming album ' Foreign Tongues ' that will be released on  July 10, 2026. Which is 16 days before Mick Jagger's 83rd birthday. Strange not having Charlie Watts on the skins but, from the two songs that I have heard, In the Stars and Rough and Twisted, I think he would like it. 

  The song is very blues infused. I don't know for certain how long it has been since they have done this type of bluesy song, but I hear some Bo Didley in Keith Richards' guitar playing. 

So here's to the Stones who never quit Rolling. 🎶🎸🇬🇧

Music Monday - Rodney Crowell - Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight

   Sadly, it's only recently that I have found out that Rodney Crowell co-wrote ' Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight '. Also that Emmylou Harris had been the first to cover the song in 1978 and that it was included on her album ' Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town'. Up until recently the only way I have ever heard ' Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight ' was from the Oak Ridge Boys. They released the song in December of 1979 and it charted to #1 in February of 1980.

  The song was staying in my head and I went to YouTube to find the Oak Ridge Boys version and that's when I found out about Rodney Crowell singing it. Sometimes I have this tendency of discovering a song, old or new doesn't matter, and listen to the heck out of it. This is what has happened with Rodney Crowell's version or another personal version of ' Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight '. It has a touch of Cajun music in the performance with the accordion/squeeze box and style of fiddle playing. It also put me on a bit of a rabbit hole with Rodney Crowell's music. I have known of him but have forgotten some of his music. Rediscovering him. So his version is the one that I will have today.

Happy Music Monday. 🎶
