Woody Guthrie, Hard Travelin'
Johnny Winter, Hard Way. Fine blues guitar.
Joan Baez, A Hard Rain's a Gonna Fall. I've been listening to this version of the Dylan classic for 50 years and I still love it. Brings tears to my eyes every time.
Chicago, Hard Habit to Break
Elvis Presley, Hard Headed Woman
The Seeds, Pushin' Too Hard. A cheesy tune by a '60s garage band. Video intro by the late Casey Kasem. His reference to the Southland is to the So. Cal. area.
Johnny Winter, Life is Hard. "Life is hard, and then you die." "The devil wears a blue dress and she is bound to get you in the end."
Billy Joel, A Hard Day's Night, live, Frankfurt, 1994.
