Ben Folds — Army

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51kntT8PgLI

NSFW (there's an F-bomb in the first thirty seconds)

The older I get the more I appreciate artists like Ben Folds.  Not only can he play an instrument and play it damn well, he sounds exactly the same live as he does on his albums and does not need to be drowned out by guitars to sound good.  Every time I watch him I wish a genie would come around and grant me the ability to play piano.  This is his most popular live song as he usually has the audience play the trumpet and saxophone parts.  They all do a pretty damn good job here.

Jim Croce–Lover’s Cross

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kbg95YYtXxE

Sometimes it baffles me that the guy who had produced several of my favorite ballads is most famous for Bad Bad, Leroy Brown.  That, and that he looks like a guy who works for a living by wearing a hard hat and holding a Stop/Go sign.  This one is easily my favorite, and it's probably because I lived this song once during a relationship.

Darrell Scott–You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69BwNVtyCKs

 

The goods start 21 seconds in.

While I do like country music probably more than anyone here, the genre doesn't typically hold my favorite songs.  Thus, the whole week will not be about drinkin' and cheatin'.  I do apologize.  However, we will start with country and a soulful, personal song from somebody you've never heard of (and frankly, neither have I).  This song was remade by Brad Paisley, and while Brad's voice is technically more proficient, it never feels like he lived the lyrics.

Hope you enjoy it, and hope to see you the rest of the week.

Big Star – I’m In Love With A Girl

I might be doing things a little bit out of order but I am going to be getting married today. I know we usually play live versions of tunes around here but the only live versions of this song I can find are, well, awful. Around 8:30 tonight I will have my first dance with Mrs. Buffalo, to this tune.
