One of my favorite albums--"Rough Mix" by Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane. Great stuff. Really great stuff. But, then, I am a big Who and Small Faces fan. My baby gives it up, every day......

Tanya Tucker -- The King Of Country Music

[video=youtube;3CnjvpN5Lvk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CnjvpN5Lvk[/video]

The battered bus pulls into
One more nameless little town
It seems like only minutes
Since he laid his body down
Silently he wonders
If it's worth the price he pays
Twenty towns
In only thirty days

The jug of last night's coffee
Is bitter now and cold
And mirror must be lying
Does he really look that old?
There's a pint of vodka somewhere
To make it all allright
Cause the King of Country Music
Sings tonight

He's the King of Country Music
And he steps out on the stage
The makeup and the amber lights
Have covered up the age
And the screaming fans acknowledge
A hit from way back when
He's the King of Country Music
Once again

Another town behind him
And back out on the road
How much longer can the old bones
Bear the heavy load?
His kids don't dig his music
Now they're into solid Rock
And he wishes
He can just turn back the clock

His mind drifts back in memories
To 1942
That was the year his wedding band
And guitar were both new
He puts the vodka bottle down
Cause he hurts when he gets tight
And the King of Country Music
Sings tonight

He's the King of Country Music
And they're tapping on his door
Outside the nameless faces
Are begging for one more
And the screaming fans acknowledge
A hit from way back when
He's the King of Country Music
Once again

He's the King of Country Music
And he steps out on the stage
The makeup and the amber lights
Have covered up his age
And the screaming fans acknowledge
A hit from way back when
He's the King of Country Music
Once again

Floyd Tillman -- This Cold War With You

[video=youtube;sQbT8BOOfRc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQbT8BOOfRc[/video]

The sun goes down
And leaves me sad and blue
The iron curtain falls
On this cold war with you
Though you won't speak
And I won't speak, that's true
Two stubborn people
With a cold war to go through

Oh why, Oh why should love ever come
To couples like you and me?
Whose cold, cold wars are never done
And whose hearts just can't be free
So let's do right
Or let's just say we're through
I just can't stand
Another cold, cold war with you

The Beau Hunks & The Metropole Orchestra:
"Our Relations"
LeRoy Shield's score for the soundtrack. The complete handwritten sheet music was found uncatalogued in an LA warehouse.
