she was born in the wrong decade, that is for sure. Pure talent, from writing, to singing, to instruments. Neither John nor Kasey may be mentioned among the greats but from all parts they truly are.
A really good song. The best part of the video was watching Prine's reaction and appreciation of it. He's been a big part of my life since 1970 and probably the longest relationship I've ever had. His death was the first thing that personally affected me during the pandemic. In his memory, I'm going to find a pretty girl on the tilt-a-whirl as soon as I get out of isolation. Bye, John.
God I wish I could of witnessed these two on the same stage, imagine writing a song about a hero of yours only to end up on the same stage and have him ask you to perform it.
"Taking down your neighbour won't take you any higher I burned my own damn finger poking someone else's fire I've never gotten taller making someone else feel small If you ain't got nothing nice to say don't say nothing at all Just hoe your own row and raise your own babies Smoke your own smoke and grow your own daisies Mend your own fences and own your own crazy Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy Nobody's perfect, we've all lost and we've all lied Most of us have cheated the rest of us have tried The holiest of the holy even slip from time to time We've all got dirty laundry hanging on the line So hoe your own row and raise your own babies Smoke your own smoke and grow your own daisies Mend your own fences and own your own crazy Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy Pouring salt in my sugar won't make yours any Pissing in my yard ain't gonna make yours any greener I wouldn't know about the rocks in your shoes So I'll just do me and honey you can just do you So hoe your own row and raise your own babies Smoke your own smoke and grow your own daisies Mend your own fences and own your own crazy Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy"
"crossing over to mainstream" won her Album of the Year at the Grammys, and it was well deserved. She's a songwriter at heart and shouldn't be confined to one style.
