Friday Faves - Country & Western


A breath of fresh air. A dusty dirt road. The lowing of cattle; the whinny of horses. Doors that don't need to be locked; a friendly wave from strangers.  A country life can embody all of these wonderful things and so much more, but a country life can be hard, too. 

So let's hop in dad's pick-up truck, head on down one of those dusty old roads and tune the radio to a great Bluegrass song by Alison Krauss and Union Station and listen to just such a hard luck tale:

Now, let's leave our worldly woes behind and let's head on down to the General Store!

What a great way to greet your visitors and let them know that a cowboy (or girl) lives in your home. Cute addition to a Country/Western themed wedding, too!

I think before Friday Faves says fare-thee-well for another week that we have room for a great old toe tapper from days gone by. This was one of my grandmother Lossie's favorite songs to sing:

Next week Friday Faves is going Grunge!

So, until then, have a great 'country fried' weekend everyone and take care out there!
