In the Arms of Cocaine 🎶 Footlights
Hey yall… it’s after 3am for me. I’ve had my headphones on for a while just letting the music run… letting life run…
I landed on these two tonight…
…
🎶 In the Arms of Cocaine — from Strong Stuff 1983
🎶 Footlights — from Rowdy 1981
…
I can relate to both of these…
Those arms are no place to be.
Slow burns… bad turns… live… learn…
and try not to kick out the footlights out again.
Thanks for listening.

Montana Cafe 🎶 Whiskey On Ice…
One thing I noticed growing up as a Hank fan — and still notice today — is that he’s known by a handful of songs that went full mainstream.. and people grabbed onto them… ones like… All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight.. Family Tradition.. A Country Boy Can Survive… and a few others.
He kind of got labeled by those songs — like that’s all he’s about.
But man… nothing could be further from the truth.
Once you dig in.. you find so much more —
beautiful love songs…
raw.. well-written.. poetic ones… many are deep… magnificent… also his voice is amazing on so many… in a way you don’t really hear on his more popular ones…
real depth that never got the same spotlight.
Today’s picks…
🎶 “Montana Café”
• Title track of the album Montana Cafe
• Released: 1986
🎶 “Whiskey on Ice”
• from the album High Notes
• Released: 1982
Hope you enjoy this little dive into the deeper cuts…
