This will, hopefully, be a weekly post showing the top 5 songs from this past weeks' playlist.  Some weeks there may be a theme to what I am listening to, others could be all over the place.  Right now I am learning to play a lot of songs by these artists, not necessarily these songs but that keeps the artists in rotation.  Plus, these are just great songs.  Here they are in no particular order, Enjoy!

Jason Isbell - "Alabama Pines"
Jason is from Greenhill, Alabama - near Muscle Shoals.  He was a member of the Drive By Truckers from 2001 - 2006 and left to pursue solo career, releasing Sirens of the Ditch in 2007.


John Butler w/ wife Mama Kin - "Losin You"
John Butler is an Australian American singer songwriter and front man for the John Butler Trio.  He seems to be an amazing man and we can say without a doubt he is an amazing guitarist.


Keith Whitley - "Miami, My Amy"
Keith Whitley - 7/1/1954 - 5/9/1989.  A very short career but is still a major influence for country music and country music singers.  Whitley is another great one lost to alcoholism.  If interested, read up on him, there are controversies and a trial surrounding his death.  Music row was lined with black ribbons the day after he died.  Here is his first big hit, you will have to click "Watch on YouTube" after pressing play.




Will Hoge - "When I Get My Wings"
Will is a great songwriter from Nashville, TN.  I have just discovered him, thanks to my boss, and am really enjoying listening to his songs.  Still scratching the surface on his stuff really, I really like this one.




Hope you found something you liked.
