I would settle for being 10% as cool as Nick.

I've posted this before, but it's a damn gem that should be heard. Still can't figure out how John Hall's record company didn't release this as a single.

RIP: Joe Ely. Oh, man, a great Texas troubadour dead at 78.

I once used this song of his in a one-act play I directed:

If Joe Ely had a signature song, it might've been this one. Recorded on a tour where he and his smokin' band opened for The Clash:

Went to a honky-tonk kind of Christmas show last night and they did this song.

This song makes me happy, as does Larry Hoppen's hat.

For me, one of the best and most enduring Christmas songs. Great songwriting and message from Ray Davies, excellent video, and a reminder that brother Dave paved the way for British and American punk.

My favorite Christmas playlist is a Pandora "station" I seeded with this song. Nothing but killer tracks.

RIP Chris Rea. He was 74. His biggest hit.

Lance Hoppen's bass playing is tremendous. Wells Kelly, gone too soon, was a hell of drummer. Such a great Orleans lineup on these early recordings.
