I think the tiny people who live inside my iTunes library and pick the random songs must be country music fans. Today’s track means almost a third of my Random Weekend selections have been by country artists even though country makes up maybe five or ten percent of my collection.
I have almost as many Bob Dylan songs as I have country songs (and a few that are both) and yet Dylan has yet to make an appearance here. Ah, the whims of chance.
OK, I’m throwing caution to the wind and going with my third theme week in a row. And the unsentimental among you might want to skip the next seven days.
You see, today is the birthday of my beloved wife. So to honor the occasion, I’m highlighting seven of my favorite love songs today through Saturday.
I’m starting with a Tim McGraw song from his Tim McGraw and the Dancehall Doctors album, which Alex bought several years ago for one reason or another. She’s a big Tim McGraw fan, which I find very funny because I wouldn’t expect a Miami-bred Cuban girl to be so country. But I’m always teasing her about being much whiter than I am when it comes to taste in music and television.
