Songs in the Air

Lazy Sunday afternoons are the best. It's cold outside and the overcast sky might make one dreary. Not today at the beach house. CMT just aired a show called Crossroads. Today's segment featured Bonnie Raitt and Lyle Lovett singing together onstage live. It will air again tonight at 9:00PM, CST. Surely they will repeat all the episodes occasionally.

Seems I've been listening to Ms. Raitt all my life. What can I say? She's just awesome. Don't always agree with her politics, but she is a 9 Grammy winning songstress that has deep, musical soul. And if you don't like Lyle Lovett, give this show a chance. His Joshua, Judges Ruth CD recorded in 1992 caught my attention because of the sheer engineering expertise if nothing else. Happens that the whole album is nothing but super tunes and talented renditions of those tunes.

Tune in and check it out . Go to the website and take a look at upcoming episodes. Brad Paisley/John Mayer will be interseting. So will Wynonna/Heart. Even though I like James Taylor I'll purposely miss his hour with the Dixie Chicks. Hate to even mention their sorry, un-American name. Wish they'd move to France.
