Down From Dover

 

A few days ago I watched a documentary about Dolly Parton's life and music and I forgot how many great songs she wrote. I am not a fan of country music but I will always find some great songs in this genre. It came that one song of this documentary never got out of my mind and after a little search in the internet I realized that there were released some fantastic cover versions.

Not only because I really like the songs of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra their version of this song is outstanding.

Finally the best version comes from Jon Langford and Sally Timms. The way they arranged this song and Sally sings have convinced me that this could be the definitive version.

Summer

 

As of today, it is June, the meterological beginning of summer, and the weather is with us. For the first time in a row, it has been warm, sunny and pleasant to sit outside, meet with friends and spend wonderful evenings. For me, there is nothing better than enjoying this time of the year. I've been thinking about which songs make the start of the new season easy for me, but there are too many of them to rank. With this in mind, just a few songs that came to mind ad hoc and without completeness or ranking. A good start into the new season to all.
