Oops, almost forgot it's Monday. So here we go with more of my favourite music.

First up, a lively track from 80s band Exile...

Watch on YouTube

I've said it before, I love Highway 101, especially Paulette Carlson's voice.

Watch on YouTube

One of my all-time favourite songs. Willie and Emmylou blend perfectly on this.

Watch on YouTube

A lesser known Suzy Bogguss track...

Watch on YouTube

Something a bit livelier by Michelle Wright.

Watch on YouTube

I have been known to put this one on repeat. I love it!

Watch on YouTube

And a bit of fun from Bobby Bare.

Watch on YouTube

And finishing with an instrumental, some of my favourite musicians having a good time.
