Country singers

asop

My 16 year old grandson is getting into this. Asked me if I knew who sang "I Fall To Pieces" and believe it or not I told him I thought it was Patsy Cline. Then he said it was the same singer that sang "Crazy". We goggled some of this stuff and it was really some great stuff🙂

    A local gentleman just moved back here after several successful years as a songwriter in Nashville. He told me the fairies ( his word) have taken over Country music.

    jimdeere, I noticed that he was playing a Martin. I sold my 1955 D-18 2 years ago. I bought it in 1962 and hated to let it go but my fingers are too sore to play anymore. 😕

    I can say its better or worse that some others ( but sure beats the slang dirty rap BS by miles )

    I was surprised many years ago my sons picked up the bug and listen to that style of music also

    Back in ‘66 I was driving to to work at Todd Shipyard in Seattle searching for some music and heard Johnny Cash singing “Dirty old egg sucking dog”. I thought it was funny and left it on the country station, hoping to hear it again. I realized rock and roll was not cutting it anymore and started playing nothing but country for the rest of my life. Don’t care much for the modern stuff but still love all the older music.

    I'm a old country music fan myself. Don't care for new at all. Thank goodness where we live we have 2 country music stations. The one I listen to is just classic country like Hank Williams Jr ect....

    Crazy? Ray Price too. And Hank Williams Jr. is not old Country. Hank Williams is.

    For myself......country music begins and ends with Patsy Cline.

    Oddly enough......a short-lived TV sci-fi series "Space: Above and Beyond "(a sort of gritty sci-fi), used many of Patsy's recordings.

    Lately though......I've enjoyed The Peterson Family bluegrass music. I'll add a link in an edit.

    Here's one....

    Showtime just started a new series about George and Tammy earlier this week.

    I have always enjoyed Patsy, Hank, Kitty, Loretta, Ray, Merle, and so many of the others starting in the late 40's through about the mid 80's after that some but a lot less of the "newer" stuff.

    Liked some rock and roll, pop music also from the 50's through the 80's but in the vehicles (only place I hear music, except Juke box at the beer joint) I mostly have a radio on Red dirt country music...

    If you have Sirrus/XM radio, check out Willie's Roadhouse (Traditional Country) and Prime Country (80's and 90's). The only two stations I listen too.

    Alan Jackson and George Strait sang "Murder on Music Row". They nailed it.

    Eating lunch at local hangout Tuesday, Patsy was on the radio doing what Patsy does then

    Queen is next up, told the waitress you went from the top of the heap to the bottom. She said I don't

    think so.

    Never argue with a woman.

    Whatever you do, please don't mention Florida Georgia Line to him. Introduce him to Johnny Cash.

    Never was a big fan of country but there are several country artists I like. When the super group known as "The Highway Men" did an album, I liked it enough to buy it. Also have Johnny Cashes "The Man Comes Around" set of CD's. GREAT stuff!

    Have him check out the multi-Album set by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. "Will the Circle Remain Unbroken." They play about 3-4 albums of originals with the original Artist's. Good stuff.

    Saw Doc Watson at the Down Home Pickin' Parlor (in Johnson City, TN) Prob around 1975'ish. About 10' feet away from him when he played. It was an Honor.

    Patsy and Hank for me. On my way up I81 passing Winchester I always slide one of Patsy's disk in the player. Someday I will stay in Virginia where I belong. -----------------Ray
