Instant Coffee Blues

Instant Coffee Blues:



from the first studio album Old No. 1 (1974) by Guy Clark, who died in Nashville, TN, at age 74 a year ago tomorrow. I'm not a big country music fan, and I have to say that listening to him hasn't converted me; but we have to be willing to try, don't we?

lyrics excerpt:
And him he hit the driveway with his feelin's in a case.
And her she hit the stoplight and touched up her face.
So you tell them the difference between caring and not.
And that it's all done with mirrors, lest they forgot.

I said it's all done with mirrors, of which they have none.
To blend the instant coffee blues into the morning sun
Please join this week's edition of the "T Stands for Tuesday" blog gathering hosted by Bleubeard and Elizabeth, where we share a drink and other eclectic offerings.

  8. What a sad one-night-stand song. Country can be like that--LOL! ;)

  9. My sincere apologies. After I got home and sat down at my computer, I promptly fell asleep in the chair. Just now woke up.

    I'm about as far from country as I am from China, but I always listen when asked. This song won't convert this hard rock gal, but I did appreciate the reference to coffee for T this Tuesday.

  12. I like some C&W, but not this one. It sounds very repetitive - just the same melody over and over and over - boring. Interesting, though. TFS.

  13. I must say - instant coffee of the right kind can be just as good as freshly brewed for me! Belated happy T day! Chrisx
