For The Good Times
Podcast: Download (Duration: 3:53 — 2.7MB)
Ray Price released For The Good Times on his album of the same name in 1970 and ended up winning Album of the Year from the Academy of Country Music for it. This song takes me back to my time with my Mom in Pinetop Arizona when my Dad was working in Phoenix. Back in the early 70s my Dad’s job in Pinetop came to an end, and he found a job back in Phoenix more than 400 miles away. It took some time to get the cash together to move the family back down to the valley, so Mom and the kids ended up moving out of our house and into a small motel in town and only seeing Dad on the weekends. My Mom had an LP of country music she listened to when she was missing Dad. For The Good Times got played a lot. I love these old country songs and have a lot of fun singing them. Hope you enjoy it.

Dierks Bentley released this song in 2005 on his Modern Day Drifter CD. My daughter, Nikaela, just recently turned me on to his music. Love it. I like to see musicians performing tunes that give a nod to classic country. I like performing these songs because it takes me back to when I was a kid. Good times.
