#MusicMonday #playlist A tribute to Loretta Lynn RIP

I put together this short four-song playlist in tribute to Loretta Lynn, who died at age 90 on Tuesday, October 4, 2022.

Here’s the playlist:

  1. Coal Miner’s Daughter: what’s a holler?
  2. These Boots Are Made For Walking: you’ll forget about Nancy Sinatra (or not, now since I reminded you). Good God – I mistook Loretta Lynn for June Carter Cash on the album cover.
  3. You Ain’t Woman Enough (To Take My Man): Loretta deals with a hussy. What’s a hussy? A hussy is a woman who’s got her mitts on your man – and believe me, I’ve had to deal with one.
  4. You Ain’t Woman Enough (To Take My Man): a great send-up by k.d. lang and Roseanne Cash.

Happy (belated) #Canada Day

Alright, Canadians. For some reason this proud American feels obliged to post about Canada Day when I post about our Fourth of July. Actually I love Canada.

Since I posted a playlist for the 4th of July, I was inspired to post a playlist for Canada Day. Here’s k.d. lang’s Hymns of the 49th Parallel, in which she performs songs by Canadian stalwarts like Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Cockburn, and Leonard Cohen.

A (belated) Happy Canada Day to our Canadian readers.
