Mark Knopfler & James Taylor


You know that feeling you get when certain songs play. Songs like Wichita Lineman, White Bird, Nights in White Satin, etc.

There’s another one that’s about the Mason Dixon line of all things. It ‘gets’ me every time.

Thanks for that post. Never heard of a different version of that song but it sounds very interesting.  I'll have to see if I can find it on CD.

What about "Hairway to Steven" by Butthole Surfers? A note about Procul Harum: I saw a strange concert in the early 70s with Humble Pie opening for Harum. Humble Pie were awful (dumb songs they couldn’t get off the ground) but man...Gary Brooker was, for me anyway, certainly one of the greatest live singers I’ve ever heard. Before or since. Miss that guy. Also, listing your favorite songs always is sort of strange as somebody, like me, thinks that a few listed here are simply unlistenable...but hey...there’s enough music around to keep me happy forever, and I'm stuck in a decades long Beatnik period listening to mostly jazz...new stuff amazes me every day.
