On the Turntable - The Chieftans and Alison Krauss
I love the Chieftans and Alison Krauss...so this is a special mix. It's amazing how many versions there are of this song. Some of the lyric variations can be found here. It's a tragedy about a man who mistakes his true love for a swan while hunting.

On the Turntable - Johnny A - Witchita Lineman
I just started getting into Johnny A. I've posted Glenn Campbell's version (which I also like very much) before...BUT the guitar player in me enjoys this one immensely. I recommend the album Sometime Tuesday Morning. It has this song among others like a really great version of Walk Don't Run.

On the Turntable - Creed
As a guitar player one thing I found intriguing about Creed was that their guitar player Mark Tremonti played so many of their songs in a drop D tuning. For e.g. this song and My Sacrifice. The guitar he plays is a Paul Reed Smith. They developed a Tremonti and a Tremonti II model. My dream guitar is a Paul Reed Smith CE 24. It has 2 octaves, hence the 24. (24 frets). The worship band I was a part of in San Diego played several of Creed's songs including this one for morning worship.

On the Turntable - Sixpence None the Richer
This is a remake of a song by the La's. The La's version was part of the 'So I Married an Axe Murderer' soundtrack, one of my favorite movies. But I digress...I was heartbroken when they broke up. I have read that they may be getting back together.

On the Turntable - The Call
One of the most overlooked bands - The Call is one of my favorites. This video isn't very good. The lead singer Micheal Been is a Christian and often does concerts at venues such as Cornerstone in Illinois. Here's my favorite lyric from this song:
