Tweet

Back with those favorite tunes with "ROAD" in the title. And as my featured video title says, "Any Ole Stretch of Blacktop Will Do" no matter what "color" is the surface. So, enjoy this Country video by Shenandoah, as we take that locomotive vehicle down that roadway to today's song clues.... See if you know these artists or their "ROAD" songs from the following clues: Song #1. This was a rare co-writing collaboration between the Country duo. The inspiration for the song was a road one of the artists used to live on in Arkansas. Mentioned in part of the tune's lyrics, the road was where he wrecked his first car, drank his first beer, and found Jesus. The song was a #1 Country charter for the duo. Their cover of "My Maria" (the B.W. Stevenson song), was the top country song on the year-end Billboard charts of 1996. Their debut album, "Brand New Man" (love that song) was their highest selling album and all but 2 of their 10 studio albums were certified platinum. Song #2. It was rumored that the song was about Judy Garland and the film in which she appeared. This 1973 ballad was heavily influenced by the soft rock sound at that time. Some critics have called this the singer's best song. The track was off a double LP which featured some classic tunes from the pianist. Among them were: "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting, Candle In The Wind, and Bennie and The Jets."
