the best mix tape i ever stole
It was from one of my editors, when I worked at the university newspaper. and once he realized that i loved every single one of these songs even more than he did… he said…
“Awww, Nancy, just go on and keep it, cuz at least you were honest about it.”
And… the thief is rewarded for her honesty, once again.
Here’s a partial songlist, I’ll add more as they come to me (naw, they’re not in the same order they were on the tape):
“The Race is On, “George Jones (not the stinkin’ Grateful Dead version, bleeeeeeeeeech)
a bunch of nasty songs by Bessie Smith that were sooooooooo good. (these ones don’t show up on YouTube, sorry ;)
“Milk Cow Blues” and “Stay All Night (Stay a Little Longer)”, Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys
“I Couldn’t Believe it Was True,” Willie Nelson
“Crazy” and/or “Walking After Midnight” (can’t remember for sure), Patsy Cline
“Bartender’s Blues,” by George Jones
“Take This Job and Shove It,” by Johnny Paycheck
“My Bucket’s Got a Hole In It,” Hank Williams
