Chaco Culture National Historical Park - New Mexico

The soul hums in canyon light.
The shape listens like desert stone.
The wind speaks the names of those who dreamed.
Where walls fall, the spirit takes flight.
History walks beside the sun.

Happy 51st birthday to Natalie Maines of The Chicks! The fearless Texas-born singer who turned country music on its head with powerhouse vocals, bold lyrics, and a rebel spirit that still shines.

Near Mt Adams WA, I found this pastoral scene and stopped to appreciate it. And take a pic. The mountain was hidden in the clouds, but that was OK. Not something I usually shoot, so it was a nice challenge. #photography #washington #Fallcolor #farming

El Malpais National Monument
New Mexico

The road curves toward something new.
Stone and sky remember where we’ve been.
We travel with hope, not hurry.
Each bend invites a story.
Memory begins again, just ahead.

On this day in 1969, John Denver released his debut album 'Rhymes & Reasons.' It featured “Leaving on a Jet Plane,” the song he first gave as a Christmas gift before it took flight around the world.

I think that Jimmie Dale's version is better than that of Hank Williams. There aren't many songs of which I think a cover is better than the original, but this is one. Jimmie Dale's mournful, plaintive voice meshes perfectly with the song's sad subject.

Happy Birthday Natalie Maines! She joined the Dixie Chicks in 1995 as vocalist & guitarist replacing Laura Lunch who left the band. This 2020 album was the last to use the name 'Dixie Chicks' which would soon be abbreviated to 'The Chicks'. It was their eighth album & first in 14 years. #CountrySky

Don't Rock the Inbox & @natalieweiner.bsky.social nailed this one. Great year for country music. The Terry Allen, Jerry Jeff, Willie, Emmylou, Guy, Bobby Bare, Gary Stewart & Waylon titles are all personal favorites. Crazy they all came out the same year: www.dontrocktheinbox.com/14-essential...

'70s country is the source of plenty of current nostalgia despite being made (gulp) a half century ago. There are so many great albums that hit the 50 mark this year, though, and it only seemed right ...
