Tesla version is really good, too. Probably better vocals and guitar solo, but sometimes the original is the way to go (also, you know, safer for work and all that).Quote:

You'd have a hard time convincing me there are 5 better country songs than this one:

One of my daughter's friends is taking up the saxophone for middle school band. Trying to introduce him to the iconic solos to inspire him - whatcha got band people?
Careless Whisper, Never Tear Us Apart, Endless Summer Nights, Caribbean Queen, Who Can It Be Now, Rio. . .
The 80s were all about that Sax.
Baker Street, Songbird, Tequila, Daybreak, Yakety Sax of course.
Not a huge Springsteen guy, so I'm sure there are better examples from his catalogue than I'm Going Down, but that's one of the few songs by the Boss that I love (and I love the fairly-short-on-the-album-version saxophone solo). Not sure an 11 year old is going to want to sit through 10 minutes of Jungleland (I know I don't).
Saw Tesla live once, and was utterly/udderly shocked by how effective the band was at making middle-aged women lose their tops. It was un/canny.Quote:

Ultimately landed on something boring (see above for the original purpose of creating this thing to begin with). But it was fun texting with the wife and some friends about alternate playlist titles.

Udderly shocked, huh?Quote:

If you haven't given this podcast a listen and you like country music, you should at least poke around the website and see what it's all about. Pretty interesting stuff from the son of David Allen Coe (so he has lots of inside info and opinions).Quote:

I'll put that on there to replace I'm Going Down (there is a good live version somewhere in this thread with Clarence's nephew getting two solos, but on the album version the sax part is good but pretty short).
Was guessing you were posting to the song with Willie.Quote:
