Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 2 Apr 25

Well, well, will you lookie who’s making an appearance on one of my countdowns? Are you shocked? Didn’t think so. The song might surprise you, but the artist? No way. I was born loving this guy, and this should...

Probably to nobody’s big surprise this guy is showing up again. Hey, I can’t help myself! When I say I like his music, I mean it! Meanwhile, today’s rock song is power pop. How about that for a...

My 100 Favorite Charted Country Songs: Blue Side of Lonesome

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 12 Sep 24

Ugh. I had to get up at 0-stupid-30 for an 8:15 podiatrist appointment. Then, when I got home, I saw that one of my favorite actors from the 70s British TV shows I watched had passed away (Kenneth Cope, the British readers may...

1964 Top Ten: I Guess I’m Crazy (#2)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 29 Jun 24

For those of you who are just stopping by to say hi, NOT to listen to the song, HI! (That’s YOU, Linda…no, no, no, NO NO NO!!!!! ) For those of you who know me, you’re wondering what’s wrong that this isn’t #1. I...

The final step of the vacation takes place today, and that’s the oil change. I’ll need an alignment, too. I found out how Texas roads are numbers: if it’s Highway 285, that’s how many potholes they have per mile. ...

Gonna Be a Top Ten: I’m Gonna Change Everything (#7)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 24 Nov 23

Well, the bad news is the next two songs are country songs. The good news is neither of them sound country. There were lots of country hits in the pop music world in 1963. I don’t know if this one crossed over,...

Top Ten Songs Sharing Titles With a Poison Song: I Won’t Forget You (#4)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 1 Nov 22

Buckle up, kiddies! The property taxes are paid and it’s time to roll! I’m on my way out of town, but first, lunch and another song on the list of favorites that have nothing in common, other than they share a title with a song...

Right on cue, the cooler weather has shown up. And, right on cue, I am going to warm myself up with another song that has “nothing” in the title. Of course, as it’s warming my heart, you know it’s country. ...

Tall Songs Top Ten: The Talking Walls (#5)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 27 Aug 22

Top five time! And, as there was a bonus yesterday, that must mean today’s song is country. I’m sorry, but not. It’s my upbringing, and I wouldn’t change it for anything. Here’s the next song with “talk” in the title. [b]#5:...

Thanks again to @xander6464 for wanting a Roger Miller countdown and getting more than he bargained for. And thanks to you all for enduring this country music showcase. I’ll go back to rock and roll soon (gonna do the 50 and...
