Kenny Rogers RIP

[Mibbes Aye]

I suspect like a few on here, I grew up with parents who liked country.

Worth acknowledging the passing of Kenny Rogers, who thanks to my folks provided a bit of a soundtrack, along with a lot of other country artists, in my formative years. I subsequently got into indie, hip-hop, techno and classical but C+W still grabs the heartstrings :greengrin

Yeah I used to think he was the least worst option of the stuff my Mum used to play - Jim Reeves and Perry Como being the others!

That's a great lyric by the way 🙂

Jim Reeves and Perry Como has brilliant voices
I’m not a C&W fan, but I liked some of KR’s songs

He picked a fine time to leave us.















Sorry, if I didn't say it someone else would.

Easy listening. It sounds better the older you get.

Look, try and find some time to respect the man.

We’ve got tonight, who needs tomorrow.

Let’s make it last, let’s find a way.

I didn’t think I knew it so I went and stuck it on Spotify and recognised it straight away. A real blast from the past!

I know it’s a thread about KR, but Bob Seger has written and sung a few great songs

But when you hear Ireland's Industry, you can't unhear it.

First Aid Kit playing at home with a tribute to Kenny Rodgers at about 30 mins in. Worth watching the whole show, I saw them live and they were amazing, this is a podcast for folks to watch.
