Sister Sweetly is the third album by the Colorado rock band Big Head Todd and the Monsters, released in 1993. It was the band's first album with Giant Records. Sister Sweetly sold more than 1,000,000 copies, going platinum. The album was on the charts for more than a year, but never hit the top half of the Billboard 200, peaking at number 117. The first single was Broken Hearted Savior. The band supported the album by touring with 4 Non Blondes.

Jelly Roll co-wrote the song with Rob Ragosta, Joe Ragosta and Austin Nivarel, the latter of whom produced it. The song was sent to country radio on February 13, 2023. Need a Favor is a country rock song which centers on a man being on the verge of losing the love of his life and praying for God to do him a favor, but also admitting he does not deserve it and hoping to repent for his past actions. Jelly Roll sings in the chorus, "I only talk to God when I need a favor / And I only pray when I ain't got a prayer / So, who the hell am I, who the hell am I / To expect a Savior o-o-oh / If I only talk to God when I need a favor / But God I need a favor / Amen... Amen.

Brings me to tears every time..... In 2002, Johnny Cash covered "Hurt" to commercial and critical acclaim. The related music video is considered one of the greatest of all time by publications such as NME. Reznor praised Cash's interpretation of the song for its "sincerity and meaning", going so far as to say "that song isn't mine anymore". Hurt" is a song by American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails from its second studio album, The Downward Spiral, written by Trent Reznor. It was released on April 17, 1995, as a promotional single from the album. The song received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Song in 1996. In 2020, Kerrang and Billboard ranked the song number two and number three, respectively, on their lists of the greatest Nine Inch Nails songs.

The Dead South’s “In Hell I’ll Be in Good Company” isn’t your average bluegrass song. It’s a dark and intriguing tale of love gone horribly wrong. In a mix of eerie lyrics and foot-tapping banjo strums, the song tells a story of betrayal and inevitable doom. Here, love is both a weapon and a wound. The protagonist is proud yet disgusted by the woman he loves, leading to a complex emotional terrain. This song might speak to you if you’ve ever felt trapped in love’s twisted dance. It’s not clear why things took such a dark turn, but the narrator ends up with a “brass knife” in his shoulder and no plans to return home. It’s about confronting the hellish aspects of life and love, and accepting that sometimes you’re just in bad company.

No one condones murder and the song/video does not promote it. This song is about passion and the sad consequences of it if not controlled. It starts out with the man in prison for a moment of passion and grief which resulted in anger. Like most stories of this kind there is a message. Manage your emotions and recognize the consequences of not doing so. Thank You Colter for bringing back story telling as an art. Lyrics: Well the raven is a wicked bird His wings are black as sin And he floats outside my prison window Mocking those within And he sings to me real low It's hell to where you go For you did murder Kate McCannon When I first met TomMcCannon I was working in the mines Said he had himself a dark haired daughter With long, green eyes And when she and I did meet She was bathing in the creek Prettiest girl in the whole damn holler That ain't no lie So I went a courtin' Kate McCannon Got me a job and I quit my ramblin' and Every day I'd save A quarter of my pay I could buy a diamond ring Lord and one day I come home to find My darlin' angel's not inside So I made for the creek Where she and I did meet And found her with some other lover And I put three rounds into Kate McCannon

*SIGOPS Collection* This is a compilation from a lot of sources and a good sample of the Talent of Waylon and a couple of songs that included his friend Willy.

With an acoustic cover from his ranch headquarters in Saskatchewan, Colter Wall presents a little Hoyt Axton song called "Evangelina." Originally released during Axton's tenure at A&M, on March 19, 1976, the song appeared on the album, Fearless. A classic love story, the song "Evangelina" speaks of returning to "old Mexico" in an effort to rekindle the romance with a woman that brings comfort to the dreams of the forlorn singer. Recorded by @littlejackfilms in a fifth wheel camper, this performance video showcases Colter Wall at home and making way across his own native prairies. For years the duo of Colter and Landon Johnson, aka Little Jack Films, have created both performance videos and album photography together. Little Jack Films' work first appeared as the cover of Wall's sophomore album, Songs of the Plains. As part of his current set lists, "Evangelina" has grown in popularity for fans of Colter Wall.

"There are many who fancy that they have the calling to make country music in their blood. There’s far fewer who actually do. And then there’s some whose entire fabric seems to have coalesced into a human form for the sole purpose of being a vessel for country music to emanate from, and they couldn’t avoid the vocation if they tried. Colter Wall probably falls somewhere close to that latter category. There sure are a lot of pretty singers in country music these days, but they don’t always have the power to evoke the spirits and sorrows of those who dwelled in rural landscapes and rugged terrains of the past. Johnny Cash had that power, and Merle Haggard is touched in that way, where they open their mouths and it’s as if ghosts come flying out in frayed regalia, soaring low above the crowd to bring past lives and past troubles straight to the forefront of the consciousness until their presence is as palpable as if they were still living in the present day and standing right in front of you. A voice which is bolstered by such aforementioned attributes is one thing. When this process is aided by evocative narratives that awaken what feel like true to life characters in the mind of the beholder because of the richness of language, the experience is even that much more immersive. That’s what one experiences in audience of Imaginary Appalachia." https://colter-wall.myshopify.com/?lf=841cabee721106a7a9c6f87b79bda145 Track List: 1 Sleeping on The Blacktop 3:12 2 Johnny Boy's Bones (Feat.

DEF LEPPARD - Pour Some Sugar On Me (MTV Memories) https://www.defleppard.com/

The Very First Two Hours Of MTV (MTV Memories) Not everyone on August 1, 1981 had a VCR at their disposal, and not everybody stayed up until midnight. But fortunately at least one person did, in order to tape the first two hours of a new cable channel called MTV: Music Television. Did they know it would be historic? MTV certainly hoped it would be: they equated the premiere of this 24/7 video version of radio with the moon landing. People born long after this time might wonder why a MTV Music Video award statuette was honoring Buzz Aldrin. But at the time, it made sense. “Ladies and Gentlemen, Rock and Roll.” It was a statement: less than three decades after the first rock and roll single, this genre of music had won—-it had colonized the planet. And beyond the planet, the next stop: the universe. It’s fitting the execs chose as their first selection The Buggles “Video Killed the Radio Star.” Visuals were not just going to be an adjunct to the music, they were going to become inextricably linked. Either MTV was prescient about the visual decade to come or they in fact caused it to happen. Music videos or short films had been around since the invention of sound in the cinema, but MTV was *all* videos, *all the time*, brought to Americans due to the deregulation of the television industry in 1972 and the slow growth of cable channels. After a Pat Benatar video, the VJs introduce themselves—-Mark Goodman, Nina Blackwood, J.J. Jackson, Alan Hunter, and Martha Quinn (all soon to be household names and crushes)-—and then straight into a block of commercials: school binders, Superman II, and Dolby Noise Reduction. A strange group of advertisers, to be sure. Goodman returns to ask, blindly, “Aren’t those guys the best?” Goodman has no idea what has preceded him. Yes, the first day of MTV was pretty rough. In fact, it’s a bit like a DJ who turns up to a gig to find they’ve left most of their records across town. In the first two hours we get two Rod Stewart songs, two by the Pretenders, two by Split Ends, another Pat Benatar video, two from Styx, and two from the concert film for the People of Kampuchea. We also get completely obscure videos: PH.D. “Little Susie’s on the Up”, Robin Lane and the Chartbusters “When Things Go Wrong”, Michael Johnson “Bluer Than Blue”. This is D-list stuff. No wonder MTV premiered at midnight. From these humble beginning the channel would soon find its groove and two years later it would become ubiquitous in American households. People predicted the end of MTV right from the beginning. It would be a fad, or it would run out of videos to play. Forty years later, the channel has rebranded itself into oblivion. And while music videos still get made none have the effect that those first two decades had on generations of viewers. To paraphrase the Buggles, we have seen the playback and it seems so long ago.
