December 20, 20187 yr I grew up with country music. I will drop some 70s or 80s country music bars out of the blue at a moment's notice. I weep for what has become of that rich culture. This video might not belong here, but it might make you appreciate more the truly good music that's been posted here. It's also just run-of-the-mill interesting.

January 25, 20196 yr Even if you don't know the name, you know his songs. Quote Sanger D. “Whitey” Shafer was born in Whitney, Texas, where he first played in school bands. After touring the country with a then-unknown Willie Nelson, he moved to Nashville in 1967 intending to make it as a singer. However, it was his songs that caught the country music establishment’s ear, and before long he was scoring hits with George Jones (“Tell Me My Lying Eyes Are Wrong”), Moe Bandy (“Bandy the Rodeo Clown”), Keith Whitley (“I Wonder Do You Think of Me”) and Johnny Rodriguez and Merle Haggard (“That’s the Way Love Goes,” co-written with Shafer’s pal Lefty Frizzell). He also wrote two of George Strait’s iconic hits: “Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind” and “All My Ex’s Live in Texas,” both number ones and both nominated for CMA “Song of the Year” awards.

February 21, 20196 yr Always one of my favorites along with "What I like about Texas". I always like to listen to that one in the springtime when the bluebonnets are blooming.

February 22, 20196 yr Author kinda liking Midland. much more of an older sound and refreshing to hear versus that Thomas Rhett shit
February 22, 20196 yr Been on a Flatt Lonesome kick. Not a big bluegrass fan but have a thing for the fiddle player.
February 22, 20196 yr Been on a Flatt Lonesome kick. Not a big bluegrass fan but have a thing for the fiddle player. Happy 2016! Now get in line with the rest of us.
February 22, 20196 yr Happy 2016! Now get in line with the rest of us. Yes... late to the game. Charli’s engaged.... need to step up my stalking game.
February 22, 20196 yr Yes... late to the game. Charli’s engaged.... need to step up my stalking game. Just engaged?So you’re saying there’s a chance!
February 22, 20196 yr Just engaged?So you’re saying there’s a chance!I hear chicks like dudes with money.... time to test that theory.
February 22, 20196 yr So many good songs posted here. Could spend a solid month listening. Here are a few of mine, with thoughts: Wasn't a huge Loretta Lynn fan, but her songs were real, which is why a lot of modern country falls short, IMHO. They're singing about a life they didn't really live. First concert I remember going to was a Buck Owens concert with my dad There have been a lot of great versions of Orange Blossom Special, but my favorite has always been Don Rich's version. There's no improvisation, it's just the cleanest version I've ever heard. Time seems to pass so fast now. Seems crazy that Wagon Wheel was put out fifteen years ago.
February 24, 20196 yr Marty Robbins My new band is learning this one. Mostly to Elvis, Orbison, Bill Withers but this should fit right in.

He might have become more popular, except he didn't fit neatly into any category. BTW, don't know who the backup guitarist is in this clip, but she's kinda hot.

March 4, 20196 yr I'm interviewing Ray Wylie Hubbard in an hour. If you have amazing, insightful questions post 'em here.
March 5, 20196 yr I prefer Loretta's cover of She's Got You over Patsy's. Just seems more earthy and real.
March 5, 20196 yr Not a country fan but that’s good stuff, can’t help but think of Sissy anytime I hear Loretta sing.

March 5, 20196 yr He does sound like he's tight. And I'm ok with that. Edited March 5, 20196 yr by Steel Shank add my support

April 10, 20196 yr Very sad news. He was a hit machine during my salad days. Made many a lap around a dance floor to his music.
April 11, 20196 yr Yeah, you couldn't go more than a hour or so on the radio without one of his hits being played. RIP to ETC.
