DOLLY & PORTER, THE REAL THING


Being a trad country fan, I, frankly, didn't enjoy much of the music on the Academy of Country Music awards show on CBS. I made a point of watching just to see what was going on and won't say much beyond that. I was impressed by Taylor Swift for her voice and the fact that she plays several instruments and writes her songs--a rarity for a star of her stature in the music business. But, call me odd, but, when the show ended, I literally ran to YouTube for some trad country oxygen, the real thing from Dolly and Porter. Two lighter songs and a sacred number, "Satan's River," that Porter re-recorded for his last record.

Corny. Yeah. I love it.

"Run That By Me One More Time"



"Milwaukee, Here I Come"


"Satan's River"
