FYI I joined the 21st century and added a little flash radio player to both Songs:Illinois and Swedesplease. It’s a pretty neat bit of coding that allows you to listen to all the songs on the sites instantaneously also you can separate the player from the blogs by clicking on the little boxes in the lower right hand corner.
As an addendum to the earlier honky-tonk post here’s the reigning king of that genre Dale Watson.
Plus and just for kicks – The Derailers

Elementary, my dear songs:illinois, it’s Dale Watson.
Nevertheless, thanks for the great posts!
oops that post was a quickie but thanks for the correction, editor will be fired!
Every time I hear that Dale Watson song, I wonder whether the similarity to Don Gibson’s “Sea of Heartbreak” is intentional or if it’s just a bit of a ripoff.
He is a great musician.
