As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

#29 True Love Travels On A Gravel Road -- Elvis Presley (1969)

This obscure classic, from the comeback album From Elvis In Memphis, seems to be a favorite of WXPN’s David Dye, without whom I probably would never have heard it. It’s another one that I’m surprised no one ever had a hit with; it was co-written by a well-known country songsmith, Dallas Frazier, who did have success with songs such as “Elvira”, “Mohair Sam”, and “There Goes My Everything”.
