Nothin' but the Taillights is a 1997 (see 1997 in music) album by country singer Clint Black. Black co-wrote many of the songs with others and played much of the guitar himself for this album.

"Something That We Do", "Nothin' but the Taillights", and "The Shoes You're Wearing" were hit singles.

"Still Holding On" is a sequel to "Cadillac Jack Favor" (off Black's Greatest Hits album), co-written with Matraca Berg and Marty Stuart and performed as a duet with Martina McBride.

"Ode To Chet" is an ode to highly influential guitar player Chet Atkins and features Steve Wariner, Larry Carlton, Dann Huff, Hayden Nicholas, Mark Knopfler, and Atkins and Black themselves on guitar.

I Sang Dixie

Always been a fan of Dwight Yoakam's music. This one is inspired again on a favorite DY song of mine...

I SANG DIXIE
Music and lyrics by Dwight Yoakam
------------------------------------------------
I sang Dixie as he died
The people just walked on by as I cried
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
So I sang Dixie as he died

He said way down yonder in the land of cotton
Old times there ain't near as rotten as they are
On this damned old L.A. street
Then he drew a dying breath
And laid his head against my chest
Please Lord take his soul back home to Dixie

He said listen to me son while you still can
Run back home to that Southern land
Don't you see what life here has done to me?
Then he closed those old blue eyes
And fell limp against my side
No more pain, now he's safe back home in Dixie

I sang Dixie as he died

Good Time

GOOD TIMES..... That sounds like good old Friday nights, ice cold beers (or a mixed cocktail as in the picture... mmmm) and a few girls on my lap! Yeah, baby!
