Mazzy Star’s “Fade Into You” isn’t a song lacking in any covers, although that didn’t stop country musician Jackson Kayne from taking a stab at it. Glad he did, as his version takes the fabric of the original and gives it a spin of its own that presents it in a refreshing light in the world of alt-country and Americana. There’s a heartfelt Western nature to the track with a grittiness that sees him harness the classic track into something very much of his own.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
