The Jukebox covered a lot of territory this year.
I hope you enjoyed the journey – discovering new artists and reacquainting with old favourites.
Here’s the 10 most popular Posts of 2019 – make sure you’ve read every one!
At 10 : David Bowie and Nina Simone demonstrating why their legendary status will never dim with contrastingly brilliant takes on Wild is The Wind
At 9 : Guy Clark with Texas 1947 brings a lost world to vivid life.

At 8 : More premium Texas Texture courtesy of Butch Hancock, Joe Ely & Emmylou Harris
Remember – only 2 things are better than milkshakes and malts and one’s dancing like the dickens to The West Texas Waltz!

At 7 : A Birthday tribute to the one and only Don Everly.
There was a quality in Don’s voice, a seeming deep acquaintance with the heartaches that assail us all, that never fails to move me deeply.
At 6 : Bobby Darrin – Dream Lover. A tale of triumph, tragedy and Trauma.
At 5 : The Kinks with yet another Ray Davies masterpiece, Days (Thank You For)
Don’t forget a single Day. Bless The Light
At 4 : The great Tom Waits with a characteristically evocation of the everyday melding with the mythic – (Looking For) The Heart of Saturday Night.
At 3 : Ry Cooder, Jerry Garcia, The Drifters & Aaron Neville know a great song and how to present it. Here they are with Money Honey.

At 2 : Linda Ronstadt & Mike Nesmith with a heady 60s classic, Different Drum
And .. Top of The Charts .. by far the most popular Post in the history of The Jukebox :
Van Morrison & Mark Knopfler setting down eternity shale with ‘Last Laugh’.
Van Morrison & Mark Knopfler : Last Laugh (Happy Birthday Van!)
A massive vote of thanks from me to all the wise and witty Jukebox Readers.

Wow! “150 Posts in draft ready for 2020” — I don’t even know what my first post of 2020 is going to be. It will probably be more music, albeit mostly of an earlier generation than yours. In any case, it’s all good!
Happy New Year!

In my case, it’s more like KEEP ON SWINGIN’ (the Swing era being my “Thing” era)!
