I like the old stuff.
This was my mom's favorite.
Here's one of mine.
Boxcar Willie !!
Not really . . Marty Robbins, Glen Campbell, The Dixie Chicks, Sara Evans;
these come to mind. I'm not real keen on the old Country/Western stuff as my Dad
used to watch the Cal Worthington show and it ruined me.

Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and the great lady herself, Patsy Cline.
I dig me some Hank Sr. from time to time too.

Patsy Cline
Johnny Cash
Hank Willams
Tammy Wynette
Loretta Lynn
Willie Nelson
...there are more...
Cargo of diamonds as you are: nothing more valuable, nothing more tough.
She's an equal opportunity offender, a societal wildcard. You can't control her, only hope to contain her, even then she refuses to be possessed. If she were a coin, you would spend her, unwillingly. If she were an animal, you'd free her to the wilderness.
My mom saw Hank Sr. in Tucson Arizona in the fifties. She said he was drunk and very rude. All he did was gripe about how hot it was.Originally Posted by CybrKhatru

I think that Willie Nelson is the hippest classic.

Dude, if I were stuck in Tucson, I'd be drunk and rude and I'd gripe about the heat.

If I have to pick one, Willie.

Willie Nelson is the king of country music! Love Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and George Jones.
This guy......and this song:

I also like Wille and Waylon....especially together.
The new stuff isn't country......it's country pop.
The storms of life They came
as we made our way towards home
and foes, they rose to strike us down
These are not the Truth
though they threaten
they are soon swallowed by Time
and matter not when the end is come

I really was a fan of Johnny Cash when I was a kid.
These days I'm a fan of Darius Rucker.

I saw Boxcar Willie perform at the Minnesota State Fair about 30 years ago.
My wife likes many of the newer country artists and has dragged me to several concerts. Eric Church was the artist that was most tolerable since he's almost a rock act with country-style lyrics.
In picking my favorite country/pop song, it's without a doubt "I Hope You Dance" by LeeAnn Womack. The lyrics are brilliant and the arrangement close to perfection.
O.K., let me have it !!
