Serendipity strikes again: found a cable to fit an old Firewire backup hard drive and powered up an old Mac with Firewire port and now have 70Gb of iTunes that I thought I’d lost forever. So while I’m letting most of it import into ‘Music’ on my newer Mac, I scoot on over to catch up on the Straightest Dope, and this thread catches my ear… I have a lot of refamiliarization with old faves to do, and a fair amount of ‘did I actually LIKE that back then?’ head scratching to boot.
Donna Godchaux. From 1972-79, she and Keith Godchaux were in the band, giving them a different feel. The Godchaux’s left in 79, being replaced by Brent Mydland.
They may be known for noodling jams, but when they were tight, they were tight!
Thank you for the answer and the song.

I went to the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame in January this year. There were names I knew– Loretta Lynn– and names I didn’t (no need to list), names I’d heard of but didn’t realize had a Kentucky connection . . . A few days later, having listened to a bunch of Loretta Lynn and Co., I decided I really ought to listen to Dwight Yoakum. Name was familiar, couldn’t remember ever hearing anything by . . . Oh. He fit right in with some of the other stuff, I just hadn’t known who was singing it.
