    To me, I have always felt that this is perhaps THE perfect Rock n Roll song. It has the great Roy Orbison vocals. A really top notch guitar riff, a great, short drum solo, and a perfect subject: Watching Pretty women.....and Daisy Duke counts here for that.

    The only problem is that they made this song the subject of a decidedly mediocre movie with a not very pretty Julia Roberts in the title role.

    But that does not take away from the song.

    I don't know that I have favorite vocalists - kind of like having a favorite flavor of ice cream I guess - but any list has to include both Linda Ronstadt and Bonnie Raitt, IMHO

    I guess you have to add Patsy Cline and Lou Rawls

    For 'today's version' of Roy Orbison, you have to add Raul Malo of The Mavericks (can't wait to see Raul & the boys in June)

    Have you ever seen them live, Brother Steve? They are fantastic and play a long show to boot.

    There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

    Just some of my favorites for vocals listing my absolute favorites for each. I could name several for each, especially Joplin & Cocker:

    Janis Joplin.. Down on Me

    Joe Cocker..Delta Lady

    Larry Gatlin..Broken Lady

    Otis Redding..Dock of the Bay

    Bob Seger..Main Street

    Aretha Franklin..RESPECT.. is also right there.

    I MUST add my single all time favorite...Eric Clapton. I'm not sure he ever did a song I didn't like, whether solo or as part of a number of groups.

    ************************************


    I did - I wouldn't have thought that duet pair would work, but


    it really did. I just think that Alison Krauss is magic. And, btw,


    Garth Brooks has a great voice.



    I'm still waiting for Steve to tell me that a duet with him and Alison Krauss is secretly


    in the works...... 🙂

    Awesome pairing...

    I owe knowing this one to XM Radio's "Deep Tracks" where they had real DJs who always mixed some new music with their Classic rock deep dives.
