Outlaw Roots — The Hank Jr Legacy (Week 5)

🎶 Old Nashville Cowboys 🎶 Always Loving You

Hey yall… so I have two great Hank songs for you today… both are among my favorites…

🤠 “Old Nashville Cowboys”
Year Released: 1979
Album: Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound

🎶 “Always Loving You”
Year Released: 1979
Album: Family Tradition

Here’s a cool fact… in 1988 my best friend passed away… and we received an autographed picture that read “sorry to hear about Joey…” signed by Hank… thought that was so great… the song Always Loving You… always reminds me of those days and my friend…

Years move on…
songs don’t.

Have a good weekend out there.

Hidden Gems from the B-Side — Faith Side (Week 12)

BarlowGirl — 🎶 Never Alone 🎶 Beautiful Ending…

Before the charts and the stages, there were just three sisters, a living room, and a faith that needed a voice — growing up in Elgin, Illinois.

BarlowGirl — Rebecca, Alyssa, and Lauren — grew up making music the way most people learn conversation: naturally, together. They started in churches and youth events, not chasing careers, just serving with what they had.

What set them apart was unity — three voices, one heart — and the fact that they’re great musicians who truly rock. Drums, bass, guitars, keys, harmonies… real grit, real skill, real sound — not just message.

When they stepped onto bigger stages, they never lost that core.
No image games. No shortcuts. Just faith, honesty, and rock-solid music.

If you’re new to BarlowGirl, you’re not discovering a band —
you’re meeting a family who turned worship into rock and conviction into legacy.

I’ve got two live acoustic studio versions of these songs for you today…

🎵 Never Alone (2004) — BarlowGirl

🎵 Beautiful Ending (2009) — Love & War

I hope you have a blessed Sunday.

The song begins at 1:33 mark 👇

Deuteronomy 33:27 (NIV)

“The eternal God is your refuge… and underneath are the everlasting arms…”
