>> Together Again <> hmmm, I repeat myself … Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee [1996] … Buck Owens <> The well-done original was by Buck Owens in 1964. Buck, who earlier in his career went by Corky Jones, penned Together Again in a few minutes therefore he considered it a throwaway song. Because of that, he made it the B-Side to his #1 smash hit the upbeat My Heart Skips A Beat. After My Heart… had been a #1 for 3 weeks Together Again knocked it off to become #1 for 2 weeks. Then lo and behold My Heart… became #1 again for 4 more weeks. There have been well over 100 covers of the song Buck felt was a loser <> Here is a terrific cover by George Jones and Tanya Tucker
>> Life Turned Her That Way <> written by Harlan Howard … yep, in Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame [1973] <> The song was inspired by Harlan’s second wife Jan Howard, at the time a struggling mother of three <> The original was on an album by Little Jimmy Dickens in 1964 <> Ricky Van Shelton took it to #1 in 1987 … Mel Tillis took it to #11 in 1967
