I'm sure Road Goes On Forever is at the top of most people's list but I gravitate towards the lesser known ones. Hanging by the pool and listening to REK and Billy Gray just came on and I was reminded how much I like that song. The Walking Distance album on a whole is really good. My other favorite is Paint The Town Beige.

I love so many. The one that always comes to mind is Lonely Feeling. Lyrics just really spoke to me during a tough time in my life dealing with loss. That has been 20 years, but to this day they get me. Just the way you hyper focus on little things when you're lost in mournful thought.

I haven't listened to the Live album in forever and forgot all about that song.

Then today I had a REK mix streaming on Alexa and a version with Corey Morrow joining him came on. Surprisingly good.

So many good ones have already been listed. His cover of Jennifer Johnson and Me is one of my favorites, but not as well known.

Feeling Good Again and Mariano go back and forth In my brain but I'd probably give the nod to Feeling.

Front Porch Song instantly transports me back in time to college and conjures up different memories each time I hear it. It's by far and away the most nostalgic song in my entire library of music.

Corpus Christi Bay gets an honorable mention from me.

If we are talking off the beaten path REK then it is lynville train for me

Otherwise Lonely feeling or Sonora's death row.

Or rolling by

Or Don't turn out the light

Dang it. Or Mariano

Crap, no kinda dancer

Dreadful selfish crime

Wait- think it over one time

Or I'm coming home

Well, my wife always gives me grief because I can't give a favorite, only a top ten - ish

REK's version is great, but I actually prefer Johnny Rodriguez's original.

Dreadful, Selfish Crime is my favorite.
