Thoughts on random country artists that just happen to be on my mind at any particular moment. Today, remembering the great tenor, Joe Bonsall, of the Oak Ridge Boys.
So many fond memories of the Oak Ridge Boys growing up, although the language to describe how much I came to dislike/hate “Elvira” is too colorful to use here. The “Seven Nation Army” cover was a fun listen though, thank you!.
I felt the same way about “Elvira” (which is why I left it off the attached playlist). It was everywhere all the time. Its over-saturation ruined a perfectly fun little Dallas Frazier novelty song. Such is the way of radio. I always preferred Rodney Crowell’s lazy, sultry treatment of it.
