The challenge of this week's Mewsic Moves Me blog hop is to build a play list of artists born in April...
Of course we must begin with the Coal Miners Daughter herself. Loretta turned 89 years young earlier this month...
Did you know that Merle Haggard passed away on his 79th birthday in 2016? His son has reported that a week before his death he predicted that he would pass on his birthday.
My favorite Glen Campbell song...
Before Vince Gill hit it big as a solo artist in country music he sang backup in the studio for many artists, including Conway.
Troy Gentry of the duo Montgomery Gentry died in a tragic plane crash on my birthday in 2017, the day country music also lost Don Williams...
We hope you enjoyed our choices this week, and please let us know if you have a favorite!
How cool to do a post on birthdays :)
ReplyDeleteYou found a good bunch too Mudpie!!

Interesting info and some great artists.
ReplyDeleteI'm a Coal Miner's Daughter, too. Happy belated Birthday to Loretta Lynn! Interesting tidbit about Merle Haggard. I hadn't heard that before now. Glen Campbell is one of my favorite oldie country artists, too. His voice was so smooth and his guitar playing equally so. How sad to read another musician died on his birthday, Troy Gentry. WOW! Nice song picks for this week's theme. Thanks for sharing the dance floor with the 4M gang, my friend. Have a boogietastic week!
ReplyDeleteGreat info. We didn't know about Merle Haggard's prediction.

All excellent choices!
ReplyDeleteGreat playlist
ReplyDeleteWell, you picked a few of my favorites. I'm not sure who came first but you can hear a little Willie Nelson phrasing in Merle's song. Glen Campbell was everyone's favorite artist in his day. He was a great vocalist and a member of the elite "wrecking crew" of studio session musicians that could play anything. Have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday everyone! Those were good tunes!
ReplyDeleteLove your playlist and happy birthday to all the birthdays.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week. ♥
Great theme idea. I like all your choices. XO
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and great songs too
ReplyDeleteOur mom loves all of them, but especially Glen Campbell. He had a variety show when she was little and she would sit with her Grammy and watch it. She loves his music because of the music, but it's extra special because of the memory of her Grammy.

A very classic playlist. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteLove all of these! Have long been a fan of Vince Gill.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! We have lots of April birthdays in our family, so we're quite fond of this month. Happy birthday to all of these artists!
