"Song For The Life"

"Song For The Life"
Previously I have used a very similar shot to this one. That one had quite a few birds flying around :-)

This one I am linking, pretty tenuously, to "Song For The Life" written and performed by Rodney Crowell 'cos there is a line in the song that says "For a sound like the sun going down" :-)

Somehow I learned how to listen
For a sound like the sun going down
In the magic that morning is bringing
There's a song for the friends I have found
To keep my feet on the ground

Way back in the 70's we were fortunate enough to see several 'Emmylou Harris & The Hot Band' concerts when Rodney and Albert Lee played in The Hot Band. And, since the 70's we have seen Albert very many times as part of Albert Lee & Hogan's Heroes. Many moons ago we did have tickets to see Hal Ketchum but, sadly, the concert was cancelled when Hal was taken ill and was later diagnosed with a very serious illness whereby he lost the use of the left side of his body. Unfortunately, we never got to see Carlene Carter in concert.

What a beautiful sunset on the water (love the fence too.)

This a real treat to see and hear this great song sung by the writer. Really, really nice.

That's really too bad that you missed seeing Hal Ketchum live. That would have been a great show. I adore him and it's so heartbreaking about his health.

I do know this song by Jonathan Edwards from waaay back: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgto4Y82uZo (I hope you can hear it.)

Thanks so much, Karen. And, cheers for the fave. Unfortunately, I can't get the link to work :-( But, I found the track on iTunes on Jonathan's album "Rockin' Chair". I could listen to 1 min 30 secs of the track and even from this short period it is clear it is a super version. Of course, I am now being tempted to buy the "Rockin Chair" album :-) Also, after doing a bit of research I found out that Jonathan sang harmony vocals on one of my all-time fave albums i.e. "Elite Hotel" by Emmylou Harris :-))

Sorry you couldn't listen. I can really recommend it. You might recognize this hit released as a single. It was pretty big here in the states: Sunshine

Yes, 'tis starting to ring bells :-) I see this track is on the album simply entitled "Jonathan Edwards". It now looks like there are two albums I am being tempted to buy :-) Thanks very much for the link, Karen.

You're so welcome, Roger.

...And it gets even better/worse? I can recommend one more album called "Have Yourself a Good Time for Me" from 1973. too good to pass up! :)

A glorious sunset shot Roger. Love the rich colours, - so beautiful. A lovely track to go with it too. I could listen to his voice for hours, and the great Emmylou too.
