Old time country music legends and stars

Each to his or her own of course - but TO ME, most 'çountry' music is pretty awful.
So many of the males sound like they're singing through their nose - and most of the lyrics are so 'twangy' and sad and mournful.
Not all, naturally.

That said, I gave Keith Urban one of his first paid jobs - $50 singing off the back of a truck when he was about 16.
He went to the same High School as two of my sons.

Keith Urban is one of the few 'Modern' country singer I enjoy, he's an amazing songwriter...

This one is just brilliant...

Thanks for those Jim Reeves videos. They play well on my I pad.

I agree with hollydolly about Keith Urban, amazingly gifted artist, his singing, guitar playing, songwriting.....he really gets to me much the way, Tom Petty's lyrics do. Different genre's but two of my top faves who's music really moves me. Good stuff!

Our present car has the Sirius XM radio and "Willie's Roadhouse" is my channel of choice. Mostly country music from the late 50's through the late 80's. Best of all is the lack of commercials - -just music non-stop. There's also "Country Classics", "The Garth Channel", and a few others in the country venue.

I play Willie, Waylon, Kris Kristofferson, the Highwayman and Keith Urban at night when I work out. I enjoy their music and I am a big fan of Willie's as well.

Enjoy.

Quite right, Dolly ! My post was unnecessarily rude. I grovel.

That said, my original contribution was

...... So many of the males sound like they're singing through their nose - and most of the lyrics are so 'twangy' and sad and mournful.

Some I actually like.
And it's not necessary to be a great fan to have a passing interest. I was in the recorded music industry for over 20 years and sold bucket-loads of ''country".
After a while, it's a bit like selling baked beans.
