Here's a song title...guess the artist

[Ldlane]

How about a song called Magnolia?

There are lots of Magnolia's, but I'm going to say J.J. Cale again.

Let's go with lyrics:

Here is an oldie but goodie and should be easy:

"Far across deep blue waters lived an old German's daughter"

Genre: Country

 

[CapstoneStan]

Yes it is JJ Cale. The reason I threw it out there was you mentioned Poco who had a minor hit with it. And we seem to go for JJ Cale.

Country Classic:

"Fraulein" by Lawton Williams

Heard it every Saturday night at my Grandpa's. Bobby Helms had a big hit with it.

I think Peter Gabriel did a song by that name, but I never listened to him much so I could be wrong.

 

[CapstoneStan]

A lyric I always liked was:

"Oh country girl, won't you come to me tonight.
Oh country girl, smother me with delight!"

Does anyone know the song and the band?

Genre: country rock

I think your right. I wanted someone else to get an answer! I don't think there actually anyone else playing!

Oh, Ozark Mountain Daredevils!

Lyrics:

I walked up to a brakeman gave him a line of talk
He said if you've got money boy I'll see that you don't walk

One of my favs!

Genre: Country/Blues

Roger Waters recorded it!

Who did 3rd Rate Romance?

country rock

 

[CapstoneStan]

I don't know nearly as much about country music. I never paid much attention to Roger Waters either. There used to be a guy they called the Singing Brakeman. Jimmie Rodgers, but I have no idea if he sang anything like that or not.

Amazing Rhythm Aces.

(full disclosure: I had guessed the Bellamy Bros., but my curiosity overcame me & I cheated. *holds out wrist to be slapped* *bows head in shame*)

*sings* "low-rent rendezvous..." (I remembered that all by myself! Some great lyrics in that song.)

*renews promise to not cheat any more*

"Layla"

For extra credit: who did the artist write the song for

 

[Bamaro]

Derick & the Dominos

Patti Boyd, George Harrisons wife

Patti Boyd, George Harrisons wife

ding, ding, ding! You are correct...Eric Clapton (the guitar god) wrote the song for Pattie Boyd (at the time George Harrison's wife). Pattie has written a book about her life being married to George Harrison (former Beatle) and then later to Eric Clapton.

For extra extra credit: there were two more famous songs written for Pattie Boyd...what were they?
