Jimmy Dean - Big Bad John

Normally when I think Jimmy Dean - "Big Bad John" is the first song of his that pops to mind immediately. That said this morning on the way into work I heard another one of his that I did not know he had done, and what drew my attention this this particular song was the mention of a JFK and a PT boat and the last last set of words of the song referring to " Anyopne named John is ok."

Well the song I'd heard was called "PT-109", have a listen its great :)

As I normally do, I love the feature of YouTube called "related Videoes", lets see what other Songs / Videos that YouTube takes me to:

  1. SINK THE BISMARCK ~ sung by Johnny Horton
  2. North To Alaska ~ Johnny Horton
  3. Jim Bridger ~ Johnny Horton
  4. Jimmy Dean - To A Sleeping Beauty
  5. Johnny Horton ~ Honky Tonk Man
Totally going off track a little :)

  1. The Royal Guardsmen - Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron
  2. The Royal Guardsmen - Return of the Red Baron
  3. The Royal Guardsmen - Snoopy's Christmas
Oh Another song that I heard this morning, and heard before and love it is "Lili Marleen" (Lale Andersen, English Version).

One of my favourite all time movie is "O Brother, Where Art Thou?". This movie has a bucket load of great songs through out it, but a couple of these songs was done by a female voice that was enchanting and I've been meaning to look it up and thats what I've finally done - Her name is Alison Krauss and as I troll through youtube I see a stack load of her works and they are great: Here are some I've listened too and loved:

Alison Krauss - Down In The River To Pray
Alison Krauss-Gillian Welch - I'll Fly Away
Alison Krauss - When You Say Nothing At All
Alison Krauss-The Lucky One
The Chieftains & Alison Krauss - Molly Ban
Alison Krauss - The Boxer
