Irish country singer – Curious as a Cathy

It’s the weekend and weekends means, no Cathy in Blogosphere. DH gets all of my attention. Sorry, lovelies this is my precious time to spend with the love of my life! 😉

In November I dedicated both showdowns to Erma Franklin’s song that Janis Joplin popularized and here I am with a third addition but it’s not the battle you hoped for Stephen. Not yet anyhow, so will there be more? Only time will tell the tale.

I’m going country in this battle featuring two male vocalists. Let’s meet the contestants.

Opponent #1 Nathan Carter is a young fellow, an Irish country singer who happens to share the same birth year and month as DD#2. Isn’t that cool? Maybe not to you, but I think so. Nathan began his career in 2007. On his 2014 album, Time of My Life, he covered (Take Another Little)Piece of My Heart.

Opponent # 2 John Hartford was an American folk, country and bluegrass artist (death 2001). I don’t think I’d ever heard of this Hall of Famer before now but he’d been in the mewsic business for decades and interestingly he was born the year before my dad (1938). In 1984 John album, Gum Tree Canoe hit the market nearly 20 years after Joplin’s song release, he included his cover Piece of My Heart as one of the tracks.

Who gets your vote, Nathan Carter or John Hartford?

Remember there is no wrong vote, except a no vote. You don’t have to know the song or the artists, just pick the band that sounds the best to you. 😉
