I am pretty sure I have posted a version of this before, but here is John Prine and Iris Dement performing "In Spite of Ourselves" last week.

Happy I'll Be

Spectacular gospel harmony by Kathy Kallick and Laurie Lewis performing "Happy I'll Be".

Return of the Grievous Angel

I almost missed this, but today would have been Gram Parsons' 70th Birthday. Despite the fact that he lived hard and died young, he had a huge influence on American music. Additionally he discovered Emmylou Harris. So here he is performing "Return of the Grievous Angel" with Emmylou. This is just audio, but the images used include his infamous Nudie suit with a cross on the back and marijuana leaves on the front.

Seven Spanish Angels

Chris and Morgane Stapleton with Dwight Yoakam performing "Seven Spanish Angels" at the CMA's.

Poor Side Of Town

The #1 song from 50 years ago, Johnny Rivers performing "Poor Side Of Town".

Kay Starr (1922 - 2016)

Admittedly I didn't know she was still alive, but singer Kay Starr died yesterday at 94 years old. She accomplished a lot despite the fact that she started out singing to chickens. Here she is performing "I Really Don't Want To Know".

Green Onions

Booker T. Jones performing his instrumental hit "Green Onions" with a little help from Leon Russell. I am not sure about the lyrics here, Leon might just be riffing.

Don't Be Denied
