If you’re lucky enough to have your father near, hug him and tell him you love him, and get him a damn beer!
Here are some Country and Americana music performances by fathers and their children. I hope you like them.
Johnny Cash & Rosanne Cash – Don’t need no memories hanging round
Steve Earle with Justin Townes Earle – “Mr. Mudd & Mr. Gold (Townes Van Zandt)
Billy Joe Shaver and Eddie Shaver – Georgia on a Fast Train
Willie Nelson and Lukas Nelson – Help Me Make it Through the Night (Kris Kristofferson)
Doc Watson and Merle Watson – Summertime

Thanks for these – I enjoyed them. Though I can’t hear “Help Me Make It” without thinking about a video of Kris and Rita singing it together, very obviously in love (easy to find on YT). That then made me wonder whether any of Kris’s kids are musical. I know he and Rita had a son, you would think those genes would have produced some talent. Of course there are those (like JT Van Zandt), who make a conscious choice not to live that life.
