What song would you most like to hear Jimmy cover?

COOL CHANGE would be most excellent.

Oh f'in yeah! Whoever it was that said Sundown - excellent. That would be just terrific!

Or even, on a sad note, I'm Not Supposed To Care.

I think he has at least recorded a version of Asking Us to Dance before but it never made it on the album....BHOTM maybe?.....don't know but that would be a real sexy song to hear him belt out.....

a great choice!

..and how 'bout "Ol' Time Rock 'n' Roll" - Bob Seger
or "Friends in Low Places" - Garth Brooks

...or, imagine this...
a calypso'd version of "The Man Who Sold The World" - David Bowie

I could see a calypso'd version of "The Man Who Sold The World". Imagine steel drum instead of guitar. That would work excellently!

Thought of a few more:

Montego Bay-Bobby Bloom
Christiansted-Bertie Higgins
Key West-Bertie Higgins

I would sure agree

. That is one of my favorites. If I ever saw him singing that one I'd probably pass right out! That is one beeeeeutiful song and I've always wondered why it never made the cut .

Maybe something by Jim Croce: Roller Derby Queen, or One Less Set Of Footsteps.

Or Spooky by Classics IV.

Or Mexicali Blues or Fire on the Mountain by the Grateful Dead.

That is a beautiful song and Jimmy did a great job on it. Too bad it didn't make it on the CD. I think it may have been Far Side of the World.

A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers - Van Der Graaf Generator

Now that would be a classic!

It's on the Far Side Of The World demo that's floating around out there in the ozone.

Green Grass & High Tides - The Outlaws

BG already had me thinking about the old slow, songs, and then after the older gentleman sang "You Belong to Me" on American Idol last week, I thought this would be a perfect slow song for Bubba! It'd be great to hear him sing it, since he's actually flown the ocean in his silver plane, and been in the jungle fresh with rain, and the pyamids, and the marketplace, and probably every other out of the way place on the planet.

You Belong to Me (Jim Reeves ... or Patsy Cline)
See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember darlin' all the while
You belong to me

See the market place in Old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me

I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too, and blue

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me

I'm gonna be so alone without you
And I'm hopin' maybe you'll be lonesome, too, and blue

Fly that ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember til you're home again
You belong to me

That one was so good in Austin at the Kinky show. It was Mac singing with Jimmy doing background vocals.

I'd like to hear Bartender Blue by James Taylor.

or Hey Mister That Me Up On That Jukebox

or another JT Song.

Captain Jim's Drunken Dream

Well you country fools in your one horse town you can laugh at me
but it's plain as rain that you've never been down to the southern sea
To see me now is like watching a fish on dry land
I only wish you could see me down in the islands
Mister, that's my home.
What a fool I was to leave the only happiness I've known

You see me coming, you wink your eye and call me Captain Jim
And when I don't do nothin' but walk on by you say baby get a load of him

All I need is the sea and the sky and I know where I stand
Instead of you hicks straight out of the sticks deciding I ain't a man
You'll never understand

Up here I'm a whisky bum but down there I'm a king
Sounds just like the angels up in heaven
When they sing
Welcome home, welcome home
Such a sight to see
Instead of some salvation army sister
Singing ";Nearer My God To Thee";

Now I know that yankee whisky has taken away my mind
and I know that rum is the only drink suitable to mankind
and I know this tree I'm under is shaped entirely wrong
I need to see a gentle palm tree and I won't wait to long
I can feel that it's coming on strong

The first cold wind of winter is flapping in my clothes
Showing me the way with the direction that it blows
Welcome home, welcome home
