    Loved this, Sidecar! All major songs. I’ll point out two of the musicians on Country Road - Carole King on piano, and Randy Meisner of the Eagles (who died just two weeks ago) on bass. And David Crosby and Graham Nash singing harmony on Nick’s choice, Mexico. I’ve been lucky enough to see 4 out of 5 of these major singer/songwriters live in my lifetime. Only missed Jerry Jeff Walker. Off topic, let me also wish Robbie Robertson everlasting peace. The Walker song reminded me of him.

    Absolutely fantastic lineup, Sidecar, especially adding Steve Earle (pronounced Erl) - I'd rather hear his originals than Rod Stewart any day. Neil Young is known as a rocker but his country roots run deep and his use of lyrics and minimalist production make him extraordinary! James Taylor creates some of the smoothest melodies of the 70s and 80s. Jerry Jeff Walker epitomizes rebel country. John Hiatt is one of the cleverest singer-songwriters around - he has written dozens of top 20 hits that others covered, but he himself is a fine performer. Steve Earle is a fantastic songwriter and one of America's greatest musical storytellers. Love this marathon! EDIT: The slide guitar on Memphis in the Meantime was the great Ry Cooder. John Hiatt is a decent acoustic and rhythm guitarist and plays piano but his #1 talent is songwriting.

    PICK UP THE TEMPO and especially DESPERADOS WAITING FOR A TRAIN are all amazing songs from the late, great singer and

    SUPERB rendition of the first James Taylor tune Nick.. you were spot on! He is one of my favorite artists. I'm going to get in a request one of these days with James being the artist. Of course, I have a favorite album which is Mudslide Slim and the Blue Horizon.. listen to it front to back as often as I can.. raised my daughters on this music and used to sing the music to them when I rocked them as babies.. one has lyrics to one of the songs permanently inked on her body. Also love Neil Young and listened to Harvest non-stop as a 14 year old girl. The Jerry Jeff Walker tune took me back... had not heard it in years and loved it. Here's to you ole skinny Dennis.. LOL. Had not heard the Steve Earle (pronounced Earl) or the John Hiatt before but thoroughly enjoyed them. Again Nick.. thanks for the tunes and great job Sidecar!! Take care everyone!

    Nick, no better song to hear steel guitar than Mandolin Wind (plus wonderful mandolin riffs). I hope you eventually get to hear it. The influence of the English country sound of The Faces is all over this tune (and the lyrics are so heartbreaking). It is my favorite Rod Stewart song. Damn UMG.

    All fantastic artists and tunes. Steve Earle is one of my favorites. He has a lot of great albums. Copperhead Road is his most popular song but he has so many others that are better Imo. Several years back, Steve recorded a song with a friend of mine, Bill Lyerly. It's called Hangman if you'd like to give it a listen. There's a Jerry Jeff Walker album you should add to your collection called Viva Terlingua. It's a good one to play when you're cooking out on the grill and taking tequila shots 😆

    Hey Nick, that was a pedal steel guitar on the Neil Young tune. Harvest is a fantastic album. It's my favorite Neil Young album. He has a lot of special guest on the album. One of them being James Taylor, playing banjo & doing backing vocals on two of the biggest bits off the album, Heart Of Gold & Old Man.
    The James Taylor song was great two. I believe Country Road was the name of the album to
    Also Nick, the Rod Stewart song Mandolin Wind is a beautiful song. Listen to the original studio album Every Picture Tells A Story if your going to do it. Even if you listen on your own if your afraid of it being blocked. That whole album is great to & also my favorite Rod Stewart album.

    "Country Girl" by Young, on "Deja Vu" would have been a good one for this great marathon. First song I learnt auf der guitar.

    Great addition with JT's Mexico, Nick. I've got a special place in my heart for Sweet Baby James as we are both from North Carolina (Try his song Carolina in My Mind). He moved on to New England while I went to Texas.
    My current favorite song about Mexico is by a local legend here in South Texas, Roger Creager. It's called Where the Gringos Don't Go and it's about those beautiful little places south of the border that the locals all know, and are far from the touristas. It's a romanticized look at Mexico through Texan eyes. Sadly, the reality of the cartel controlled border has kept me out of that beautiful country for the last 20 years (and Cancun and Cozumel don't count).
    Ps, Rip Jerry Jeff and Robbie.

    Always up,for some good Americana, even if it’s eight days late! Really too bad about Rod Stewart, but unless there is a situation like the Eagles where they threaten the channel, I would say just go ahead and do it and if it gets blocked so be it, on to Patreon. Some music you just need to hear.

    Jerry Jeff's fantastic live version of "LA Freeway" on "A Man Must Carry On" is greatly superior to the much more subdued studio version, the best song to have blasting leaving LA. ruclips.net/video/xtHOUC6UY9s/видео.html Also check out his turbocharged live version of "Don't It Make You Wanna Dance" on the same album.
