She remained lifelong friends with Arlo Guthrie, who scored a hit with the tune in 1967. Continue reading…

Two of country music's highly underrated artists are joining forces to lay down their version of a Danny O'Keefe ditty. Today the cigarette-scented band is teaming up with honky tonk rock and roller Rob Leines for a new single, "The Road." While the single is new for these artists, the lyrics are not new as it's a cover of Danny O'Keefe's 1972 track, "The Road." Released on his record titled O'Keefe, the track highlights the true meaning of life on the road. With the single's release, Silverada (named Mike and the Moonpies until earlier this year) took to Instagram to share what inspired them to team up with Leines to cover this tune. "One night after a recording session at YellowDog Studio in Wimberley (when Adam and I were producing the Rob Leines record), we all piled into the back of a pick-up and went to have some drinks at the Devil’s Backbone Tavern. On the drive over, Rob asked me if I had ever heard this song ‘The Road’ by Danny O’Keefe. He said a girl had turned him on to the song, and he was obsessed with it. We played it on the truck stereo on the ride down to the bar, and the song hit me like a ton of bricks. "Rob and I had been touring together most of that year and we felt like the song really aligned with where we were at that place and time. I realized I had heard the cut of this song by Jackson Browne but never the original. We decided later that night that we had to record our own version of it. We got together a few months later after the YellowDog had relocated to San Marcos and cut this version. We hope you love it, share it, and add it to your daily playlist. Thanks for listening!" https://www.instagram.com/p/DCrcK4jJJ0r/ After one listen, Silverada and Rob Leines' take on the song will have you hooked. O'Keefe's original cut keeps the melody acoustic heavy, but this duo amps up the melody from the beginning. They add in a steel-soaked composition that highlights the melancholy feeling of the lyrics. Leines takes the first verse, and hearing his vocals on this track unveils a new side of his range. On other Leines tracks, listeners will hear a grittiness in his voice, which is removed from his delivery on "The Road. " He sings with a vulnerable conviction. His silky smooth vocals flawlessly open up the first verse before frontman Mike Harmeier comes in on the second. "It isn't for the money And it's only for a while You stalk about the rooms You roll away the miles Gamblers in the neon Clinging to guitars You're right about the moon But you're wrong about the stars And when you stop to let'em know you got it down It's just another town along the road..." Given that the members of Silverada and Leines are faithful road dogs, they know the truth behind these lyrics all too well. They've seen every dive and honky tonk dance hall throughout every corner of the nation as they promote their music; they know the meaning of "it's just another town along the road" all too well. This cover is a change of pace from the honky tonk anthems both Silverda and Rob Leines often lay down, but it's also the perfect change of pace, showcasing both talents in a new light. I have had this single on repeat all day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwrs44M9Ruo

The sweet-faced, loveable Labrador Retriever is no longer America’s favorite dog breed. The breed best known for having a heart of gold has been replaced by the smaller, more urban-friendly French Bulldog.According to the American Kennel Club, for the past 31 years, the Labrador Retriever was America’s favorite dog, but it was eclipsed in 2022 by the Frenchie. The rankings are based on nearly 716,500 dogs newly registered in 2022, of which about 1 in 7 were Frenchies. Around 108,000 French Bulldogs were recorded in the U.S. in 2022, surpassing Labrador Retrievers by over 21,000.The French Bulldog’s popularity has grown exponentially over the past decade. They were the #14 most popular breed in 2012, and since then, registrations have gone up 1,000%, bringing them to the top of the breed popularity rankings. None — (@) The AKC says that the American Hairless Terrier, Gordon Setter, Italian Greyhound and Anatolian Shepherd Dog also grew in popularity between 2021 and 2022.The French Bulldog was famous among America’s upper class around the turn of the 20th century but then fell out of favor. Their resurgence is partly based on several celebrities who have gone public with their Frenchie love. Leonardo DiCaprio, Megan Thee Stallion, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, Reese Witherspoon and Lady Gaga all own French Bulldogs.The breed earned a lot of attention as show dogs last year when a Frenchie named Winston took second place at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show and first in the National Dog Show.The breed made national news in early 2021 when Gaga’s dog walker was shot in the chest while walking two of her Frenchies in a dog heist. He recovered from his injuries, and the dogs were later returned.The French Bulldog's complicated past took them from brothels (yes) to royals.Listen to their full history and more in the Uniquely Urban podcast episode of Down & Back: https://t.co/Jx2jPNCVMb pic.twitter.com/wBQd9fsRlt— American Kennel Club (@akcdoglovers) March 16, 2023 They’ve also become popular because of their unique look and personalities.“They’re comical, friendly, loving little dogs,” French Bull Dog Club of America spokesperson Patty Sosa told the AP. She said they are city-friendly with modest grooming needs and “they offer a lot in a small package.”They are also popular with people who live in apartments. According to the AKC, Frenchies don’t bark much and do not require a lot of outdoor exercise.The French Bulldog stands out among other breeds because it looks like a miniature bulldog but has large, expressive bat-like ears that are its trademark feature. However, their popularity isn’t without controversy. “French bulldogs can be a polarizing topic,” veterinarian Dr. Carrie Stefaniak told the AP.French Bulldogs have been bred to have abnormally large heads, which means that large litters usually need to be delivered by C-section, an expensive procedure that can be dangerous for the mother. They are also prone to multiple health problems, including skin, ear, and eye infections. Their flat face means they often suffer from respiratory problems and heat intolerance.Frenchies are also more prone to spine deformations and nerve pain as they age.Here are the AKC’s top ten most popular dog breeds for 2022.1 French Bulldogs2 Labrador Retrievers3 Golden Retrievers4 German Shepherd Dogs5 Poodles6 Bulldogs7 Rottweilers8 Beagles9 Dachshunds10 German Shorthaired PointersThis article originally appeared last year.
