Poco - what an underrated and under appreciated group:

I'll see you and raise you an Emmylou

 

[nwhoopfan]

This is a gospel song that's probably been sung by many folks over the years. Nice version from Emmylou and Ricky.

Rush - The Trees
There is trouble in the forest,
there is trouble with the trees
For the Maples want more sun light and the Oaks just ignore their plea

 

[nwhoopfan]

edit--the song title doesn't appear in the thumbnail but it's "Trouble in the Fields"

 

[nwhoopfan]

couple song from Alison Krauss & Union Station w/ Dan Tyminski singing lead (AKA George Clooney's singing voice from "O Brother Where Art Thou?")



Alison Krauss & Union Station - Pastures Of Plenty

Old 97s rockin' out

 

[nwhoopfan]

this might be stretching it but I'm doing it anyway (and the Eva Cassidy cover is very nice as well)

"Sweet Cherry Wine" by Tommy James and the Shondells.

 

[Dove]

Too many VIOLATIONS to keep up with.

Grits? Pie? Cherry bomb? Fields?

You are a tough judge @Dove . What is a byproduct? If part of a plant is an ingredient in something else, doesn't that make that thing a byproduct? Also fields/pastures are made up of plants. Don't see how that's a violation. I could come up with a ton of songs about trees and flowers, but those threads have been done before. I was trying to do something different.

Anyway it's all just for fun so we're all going to post whatever songs we want to anyway.

I learned this song as "Long a-growing." This version by Joan Baez has a much darker tune, which goes along with the tragic story.

Steppenwolf, once called the Pied Pipers of Pot:

It is poke (aka polk) season here. My wife loves the stuff, so I let some grow the last few years. It is very fecund; those little black berries go everywhere, and the birds spread them even more. So I'm trying to keep the little'uns from growing up and just keeping a couple of stands of it.

Loreena McKennitt, from, I think, a Yeats poem. It has Ofra Harnoy on the cello.

 

[Dove]

Glenn Tillbrook, with Black Coffee in Bed

Byproducts...things not far removed...

ganja, kaya, tobacco, cocaine, chocolate, coffee. Shoot, oil would work.

Not mini wheats, beer, vodka, grits...

 

[Dove]

Just might be my fave childhood song...so fun
