If somebody asked you to name a song with ‘blue’ in the title, we think there’s a fair chance you might pick this one: Blue Suede Shoes.
This (most famous) version is by Elvis – it is timeless, and it is our Blue Tunes selection for the week.
By the way, Elvis had two big hits with the word ‘blue’ in the title – can you name the other one?

Our Blue Tunes this week is by another enduring artist who, in his latter years, may have become associated with the seniors set…but hey, he can still sing like a charm.
Try listening to any of his big hits without singing along: it is impossible.
Here is good old Neil Diamond and one of his hits that featured the word ‘blue’ in the title.
Can you name the other one?

Indigo Girls: Tangled up in Blue
Let’s go back to 1987 – a year when hair was worn high, Bob Hawke was our Prime Minister, Queensland Premier Joh Bjelke-Peterson stepped down after 19 years (!!), the West Coast Eagles joined the AFL, and Hawthorn star Buddy Franklin was born. (Yikes, that last one makes me feel old: Carol)
This week’s Blue Tunes star was still making music, however, and still is.
On with the show…

If you have been following this section, you will know that given we are called Bluestone, we thought it only fitting that each week we dig out a track that has the word ‘blue’ in its lyrics or title.
What better way to start the working week than with some music?
This week we have chosen a smooth classic, Blue Skies, by Willie Nelson.
You can play it here.

What better way to start the working week than with some sensational music?
It doesn’t come any better than this: lyrics by Bob Dylan, performance by the Indigo Girls – Tangled up in Blue. It is a truncated version, so not the full eight minutes it usually runs for…
