"Ol' Red" by Blake Shelton

Time for a good ol' country song about a dog! This is a great song originally recorded by George Jones, covered by Kenny Rogers, but made most popular by Blake Shelton.

"
Ol' Red" is a song written by James "Bo" Bohan, Don Goodman and Mark Sherrill. The song was originally recorded by George Jones on his 1990 album You Oughta Be Here with Me and covered by Kenny Rogers on his 1993 album If Only My Heart Had a Voice, although neither artist released it as a single. It was recorded most recently by artist Blake Shelton, and released in 2002 as the third and final single released from his self-titled debut album.

The song's narrator is a prisoner serving time for committing a crime of passion when he murdered a man whom his wife was having an affair with. He is offered a job tending the prison dog named Ol' Red, a Bloodhound (or possibly a Redbone Coonhound) who is well-known among the inmates for his skill at tracking escaped prisoners.

The narrator writes a letter to his cousin, who delivers an unnamed female Bluetick Coonhound to the prison. The Bluetick befriends Ol' Red and the dogs presumably engage in sexual intercourse as well. After a while, the narrator keeps Ol' Red separated from the Bluetick for several days, deliberately making Red anxious to see her. The narrator then makes his escape attempt, knowing that Red will track down the Bluetick instead. The final lyrics of the song reveal that the escape was successful with Red and the Bluetick having a litter of puppies to boot.

Although it did not reach the Top Ten, "Ol' Red" is one of Shelton's most commonly-requested songs in concert (as well as one of his best-known hits), and he considers it his signature song.

Interesting Presidential Facts (not to overload our brains, but some of these we're sure you know). Here is the website to read more interesting facts: www.littleknownfactsshow.com/presidents

  • BARACK OBAMA is our 44th president, but there actually have only been 43 presidents: Cleveland was elected for two nonconsecutive terms and is counted twice, as our 22nd and 24th president.
  • George Washington: No formal education. The only president elected unanimously. He received all 69 electoral votes. At his inauguration, Washington had only one tooth. At various times he wore dentures made of human teeth, animal teeth, ivory or even lead. Never wood.

  • THE OLDEST president inaugurated was Reagan (age 69); the youngest was Kennedy (age 43). Theodore Roosevelt, however, was the youngest man to become president——he was 42 when he succeeded McKinley, who had been assassinated.
  • VICE PRESIDENTS were originally the presidential candidates receiving the second-largest number of electoral votes. The Twelfth Amendment, passed in 1804, changed the system so that the electoral college voted separately for president and vice president. The presidential candidate, however, gradually gained power over the nominating convention to choose his own running mate.
  • FOR TWO YEARS the nation was run by a president and a vice president who were not elected by the people. After Vice President Spiro T. Agnew resigned in 1973, President Nixon appointed Gerald Ford as vice president. Nixon resigned the following year, which left Ford as president, and Ford's appointed vice president, Nelson Rockefeller, as second in line.
  • PRESIDENTS LINCOLN, Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy were assassinated in office.
