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.)

#109 Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses – Kathy Mattea (1988)


This list of the 50 Best Trucking Songs of All Time has “Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses” at #7. Personally, I’d put it at the top, but of course I’m not actually a trucker.
 
I didn’t hear it until years after it was released; I was driving somewhere on the eastern shore of Maryland and for some reason had a “classic country” station on the radio. (AM, of course.) I’m not a fan of most country music, but this is one that helps to redeem the genre.
