Kenny Chesney Was Influenced By ‘Fishin’ in the Dark’ We weren’t trying to be like any other song.” “But she said, ‘No, fishing in the dark.’ We started messing around with it, and it just happened, you know? We did it for fun. “And the first thing I thought was, ‘I want to run away screaming because I love my song.'” Photoglo said. She just finished listening to “A Prairie Home Companion” and said to him, “Let’s write a song about fishing.” Once Photoglo returned back to Los Angeles, he met up with Waldman.

Photoglo ended up taking that one to Waldman, which ended up being “You Can’t Run Away From Your Heart” and a hit for Lacy J. “Both of them had that same chordal thing, but one of them had the minor mode and one had the major mode.” “One morning I woke up and I turned on my tape recorder, sat up and played these two pieces of music. “I was experimenting with this one particular chording on the guitar that only played the first and fifth tones of the chord, so you could sing either a major or a minor over it,” he said. It’s a lot of foot-stomping.” Nashville Plays Role In Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Hit Songĭuring one of Photoglo’s first visits to Nashville from Los Angeles, which were sponsored and supported by Waldman, he came up with an idea. “The stories I hear from the (Nitty Gritty) Dirt Band are how their audience react, and it’s like that. “Sow ‘Em on the Mountain” (A.P.“Well, for me, just the fact that people are still listening to it after all these years,” Photoglo said in an interview.“The Sun Don’t Shine No More” (Marty Stuart).“Poor Side of Town” (Lou Adler, Johnny Rivers).“Padre / The Wall” (Marty Stuart, Harlan Howard).“Fault Lines” (Mike Campbell, Tom Petty).“I Can’t Hold Myself in Line” (Merle Haggard).“Heartbreak Kind” (Marty Stuart, Paul Kennerley).“Skip a Rope” (Jack Moran, Glenn Douglas Tubb).“I have a long line of songs that range from obscure, originals, to old favorites from various musical worlds that I often sing to myself when I’m alone,” he said in a release. Stuart promises a wide variety of selections on the project and the track list reveals chestnuts like “Skip a Rope” and “Orange Blossom Special” alongside compositions by Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings. “It’s been a too long time, with no peace of mind, and I’m ready for the times to get better,” he sings in the chorus, the somber minor-key melody adding to the sense of melancholy and an intricate fingerpicked solo showing off Stuart’s formidable instrumental talents. Stuart’s version is stripped down to its basics of vocals and guitar. It went on to become a Number One country hit for the singer.

Songwriter Allen Reynolds penned “Ready for the Times to Get Better” and it was originally cut by Crystal Gayle for the 1976 album Crystal.

We’ve all been shackled to the same problem.” “And I think this last year, we probably all agree, we wanted to be somewhere else. “Songs are like magic carpets - they can transport you from wherever you are to somewhere we want to be,” he says, setting up the new recording. The first installment is Stuart’s version of “Ready for the Times to Get Better” and, as the Country Music Hall of Fame member explains in a new video, it embodies the spirit of this new project through the comfort it gave him during the last year of confinement. Marty Stuart has announced the digital album Songs I Sing in the Dark, a collection of 20 acoustic numbers that he’ll debut on a monthly basis.
