Friday (OK, early Saturday) Random Ten

• Collin Raye, "A Bible and a Bus Ticket Home"
• Tim McGraw, "Drugs or Jesus". A weird, emotional song. Tim McGraw sings it like it's just a religious song... but it compares Christians to drug addicts! I'm honestly surprised it got much play on mainstream country radio.
• John Voorhees, "A Sad Man". Spare melody, poetic lyrics. Good stuff.
• Collin Raye, "One Desire"
• Jo Dee Messina, "You're Not In Kansas Anymore". As an Angeleno, I really like this one.
• Leslie Fish, "Grandma Went Out with a Bang". Grandma the radical and her plutonium-powered pacemaker...
• Rainbow Warriors, "Rainbow Warriors". Based on a Hopi prophecy, although I don't know how authentic it is. A bit preachy but otherwise good.
• Dar Williams, "When I was a Boy". How do we get stuck in narrow gender roles?
• the Wilkinsons, "26 Cents". Rather similar to today's first song.
• Paul Metsa, "Jack Ruby". A biographical story song.
