Guess who is playing at this wedding? Yep, Nickelback… That will be one weird father-daughter dance.

Merle Haggard

Here is a country classic written by Merle Haggard in 1966. Makes me want to hit the open road and head up north away from the city.

Whenever I begin to think that music will never be as good as it used to be, artists like Cass McCombs surface. This song has been around for awhile, but I just discovered it.

‘County Line’ is from Cass McCombs’ album, WIT’S END, available on Domino.
