Nice Love Songs for Valentines Day

[Canard]

One more before I give up here as the day heads towards its close.

Blackie and the Rodeo Kings (one of the world's most underappreciated groups to my mind) do a lovely Willie P. Bennett (a singer-song writer even more underappreciated) song, Faces.

The album the song from is BRK's debut album, High or Hurtin'. which is a tribute collection of Bennett's tunes. The group name is taken from the title of one of Bennett's songs, Blackie and the Rodeo King. The project I think, was to have been a one-off, but they liked each other and continued on intermittently over the years.

Stephen Fearing on vocals. Willie, himself, plays harmonica somewhere in the background.

Tom Waits appreciates Valentine's Day in his own twisted way in this one.



And this one, from probably my favorite release of his.



One of my great regrets in life is never seeing him live when I had the chance, because I don't think he'll ever tour again.

Willie P. Bennett - Blackie and the Rodeo King

A rough pragmatic love song of sorts.

Love can be for anything?




And this, dubbed "one of the most genuine love songs of all time" ;]



OMG, what A great way to start a song!

Is.... or WAS...that a Guild?

I seem to remember a previous thread on this and the answer was "no", but my memory isn't what it used to be.

It IS, however, a young Stephen Bishop!
