Songs About Accusations

There's been a lot of talk about "accusations" of late. Unfortunately, there's probably a lot of truth to many of these allegations. Because I am occasionally topical in my posts, here's a collection of Songs About Accusations. Contrary to the usual, not all of these songs have the word "accusation" (in any form) in their titles, though all do prominently feature the word in the lyrics and "accusation" is the overall theme of the songs as well. I hesitate to implore you to...but, enjoy?  ~  JH

3)  Porter Wagoner  ~  “Be Careful Of Stones That You Throw”

Songs About The Good Old Days

Did you ever wish you could go back to the "good old days"? Yeah, me, too. These artists, too – so much so that they wrote songs about it and I found them. So take a listen...and enjoy!  ~  JH
