George Harrison, 1992; photo by Mark Seliger.
Song spotlight: "Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea" & "Rocking Chair In Hawaii" —
“On [British] television about a year ago I did this thing singing ‘The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea.’ It’s for this guy Jools Holland; he’s done a couple of these TV shows. One was called Walking To New Orleans with Fats Domino and different people. This one was called Mr. Road Runner. It’s about the Devil trying to follow him, and it talks about Robert Johnson and all that, so he asked me to do a song about something to do with the devil, [laughter] and I remembered this one from Cab Calloway.” - George Harrison, Goldmine, November 27, 1992
“And when we came across a tape of the live TV version of that old chestnut, `Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea,' which George had recorded years ago with Jools Holland and his band, it was magic. George was front and centre with his ukulele, playing it brilliantly, and his voice was so strong and happy. We had to include that on the album. He was proud of that performance.” - Jeff Lynne, ezfolk.com, November 9, 2002
“I think the first person who really got me interested in guitar was ‪‪Jimmie Rodgers‬‬, the Singing Brakeman. My father enjoyed music and he used to go away to sea, and he brought back this big windup gramophone and ‪‪Jimmie Rodgers‬‬ records: ‘Blue Yodel’ and ‘Waiting For A Train.’” - George Harrison, Billboard, December 5, 1992
“As for Hoagy Carmichael, I’ve been nuts for him since I was a kid. I cut his ‘Hong Kong Blues’ on Somewhere in England, and there’s still a few more of his I wouldn’t mind doing, like ‘Old Rocking Chair.’ Maybe one day — not just yet, but one day when I get a bit older…” - George Harrison, Musician, November 1987
“The original tongue-in-cheek take during All Things Must Pass was a straight pastiche of the Williams track [‘Long Gone Lonesome Blues’]. […] It was almost as if in memory of the proto-recliners honored in song by Harrison heroes Hoagy Carmichael and Big Bill Broonzy, although it’s remains an obvious Hank Williams cover at heart.” - While My Guitar Gently Weeps: The Music of George Harrison (2006) (x)

Billy Strings performing “Miss the Mississippi and You”, a song Jimmie Rodgers recorded in 1932. _____________________ Miss the Mississippi and You Songwriter: Bill Halley
I'm growing tired of the big cities' lights, Tired of the glamour, and tired of the sights. In all my dreams I'm roaming once more, Down to my home on the old river shore. I am sad and weary, Far away from home, Miss the mississippi and you, dear. Days are dark and dreary, Everywhere I roam, Miss the mississippi and you. Rolling the wide world over, Always alone and blue, blue. Nothing seems to cheer me Under heaven's dome, Miss the mississippi, and you. (Yodel) Memories are bringing Happy days of you're Miss the mississippi and you. Mockingbirds are ringing around the cabin door Miss the mississippi and you. Rolling the whole world over Always alone and blue, so blue. Longing for my homeland Muddy water shore, Miss the mississippi, and you. (Yodel)

For some reason hearing him sing Jimmie Rodgers always moves me and makes me even happier than hearing him sing Hank Williams. It’s that feeling of something cosmic aligning, something much bigger than individual artists but only those few select artists can really channel it into existence to the extent where you can feel it so strongly. And no one carries it more seamlessly or gracefully than Townes.

Song Review: Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives - “Altitude”
Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives find themselves grounded firmly in traditional country music as they sing of a land beyond the sun known as altitude.
The song - and the album it announced - are, too, known as “Altitude” and Altitude, respectively. On the former, the often-cosmic Fab Supes play music that’s beautifully antithetical to the lyrics with clip-clopping rhythm giving a floor to pedal steel and fiddle solos.
Ten million miles high, light years off the ground/where time stands still, beyond the speed of sound/in altitude, Stuart sings.
It’s a gem - what Stuart calls “authentic country music.” But updated somewhat.
“I’ve always loved songs that feel like old friends but still sound new and fresh,” the bandleader said in a statement.
“The beautiful thing about country music is that the blueprint Jimmie Rodgers laid down - rambling, gambling, sin, redemption, heaven, hell - it’s all just as relevant now as it ever was. It’s the human condition.”
“Altitude” follows the less-trad “Country Star” ahead of Altitude’s May 19 landing date.
