Songs That Tell A Story

[White 6]

I don't think I've heard that one, Peabody's coal train done hauled it away.

John Prine was a great American songwriter and storyteller, taken by Covid, during the pandemic, an American original talent, gone.

Not gonna list them all here, but ALL of C.W. McCall's songs tell good stories. Some of them can be tear jerkers like Teddy Bear, others can be funny as hell like when he talks about traveling the Black Bear Road (when I say rock, I mean ROCK!)

Whispering Bill

… Long long time ago, I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
… But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
… I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
… So bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing, "This'll be the day that I die"
This will be the day that I die

Spare Me the Details by the Offspring tells a story of modern love. Dude takes GF to a party, GF gets drunk and bangs someone else, everyone tells the dude what she did in detail, dude doesn't want to hear about his girlfriend being a ho.

John Prine was such an amazing song writer. They way he could turn a phrase was a gift. He will be missed.

This was his last song.
