A Month Of... Name Dropping...

The return of The Man In Black, Johnny Cash, today... this time as part of country supergroup The Highwaymen, playing fellow-member Kris Kristofferson's song "Me & Bobby McGee"... originally sung in 1969 by Roger Miller, but most famously sung by Janis Joplin just days before her death in 1970...

Born To Rock...

Apr. 30th, 1933 - Another guilty pleasure, and another use of the C-word (country & western), for 75 years ago today, Mr Willie Nelson was born...

Just to make this a little bit cooler (lol, I fear I'm fighting a losing battle), here he is with Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora doing "Always On My Mind"...

This song originally charted in 1982, hence the 80's label... I'm not saying this performance is from the 80's!
