I actually think Dwight was 'Hillbilly'... who found an electric guitar and said, "Let's do it." Ha!<br /><br />"Waffle House." Ha-ha. Don't think I've been in one in twenty years. Come to think of it... I've probably been scattered, covered, and smothered, since then.<br /><br />What am I going to conquer next? Whew! soon as I getz this wall out of my way, I'll take on China - there's a great wall, right?!Dixie@dcreliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558671709412200904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839732979493564157.post-53919540445239965202015-06-21T10:40:40.821-04:002015-06-21T10:40:40.821-04:00Thanks for the 'yoke' guys!!

I always feel when that happens you have put together a really great BATTLE.<br /><br />In the end I just gotta vote for Dwight. I really like this guy and his delivery of 'Hello Walls' is excellent and what I expect from this song. Having said that I do want to also say that Esther's blusey version, although very different from the original, is great and I did truly enjoy it .<br /><br /><br />farawayeyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578277501054242356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839732979493564157.post-56300651847923870222015-06-17T01:12:13.945-04:002015-06-17T01:12:13.945-04:00POSTSCRIPT:

She's right on! In fact, I would say Dwight's version is closer to Honky Tonk than it is to Rockabilly, but when attempting to differentiate, it can sometimes be like "splitting hairs", as in this case.<br /><br />I guess I would say that "Honky Tonk" is just slightly more Country than it is Rock. And "Rockabilly" is just slightly the reverse.<br /><br />Then you have Waylon's "Outlaw Country" which is neither Honky Tonk or Rockabilly, but still utilizes both musical influences. <br /><br />For a non-musician like me, it's impossible to really give an accurate, musical definition of the differences. And I suspect that even for a professional musician it would be nearly as difficult to put into words. But I (usually) know one from the other and from the other, when I hear 'em, because I have spent decades listening to this stuffs.<br /><br />Anyway, this was one of the toughest BOTB blog bits I ever had to vote on. (The only one I can think of that was likely tougher was my own, when I put Ray Charles against Frank Sinatra on <b>'We'll Be Together Again'</b>. I truly did not know for certain how I would vote on that one until the moment I did.)<br /><br />You've mastered BOTB. What R U going to conquer next?<br /><br />~ D-FensDogGStephen T.
