Two Covers songs from the Sweet Revenge album. A Good Time – John Prine – 1973 – Nine Pound Hammer – Merle Travis – 1951 —————————————- Woke up this morning with “A Good Time” playing in my head. I matched it with the very next song on John Prine’s Sweet Revenge album. In his early albums John didn’t tend to do a lot of covers, Nine Pound Hammer is one of the few he did. When I look back I realize that I’ve recorded 6 of the 12 songs on that album. Never realized I liked it so much !

From here to eternity and he sang and played his guitar in that movie and Frank Sinatra who stared in the movie did using in it !!
