Brooks $ Dunns version of "The Cowboy Rides Away", better than the guy who wrote it, George Strait.

I played shows for a few of these folks, back when there were still fair dates that hired local musicians to back traveling artists. Believe me, when you are freelancing as a musician, how you're treated by acts that you play maybe once or twice in your life becomes far more important than the musical experience. In that context, in general the kindest and most genuine folks to play for are folks from the country world. Tennessee Ernie Ford, Reba, Tricia Yearwood, and Conway Twitty come to mind as folks that treated the orchestra really well. I met Garth, and although I didn't play with him, I can testify he is a goodie as well. In the "non-country" part of the business, Red Skelton, George Burns, Mickey Rooney, Julie Andrews, and Donny Osmond stand out in my memory as great folks to work for. Thanks for posting this. It brings back the memories I just mentioned.

My pleasure mate. I envy you your experiences.

Well I am not going to get much done today, this is country music. Marty Robins is one of my all time favorites, Johnny Horton, Eddy Arnold, these guys made country music. Special thanks to you Brian for posting this music although I'll have a hard time explaining to the Mrs. why I sat around all day. lol

There is a program over here that has all types of music from rap to country and its live not dubbed. Garth Brooks came on one night and walked up to the mike with the Cowboy hat on much to the amusement of the trendy youg things in the background. Garth sang with no music a song called The Dance. There was a huge silent pause I think everyone realized they had heard something special. No one was sniggering after just cheering and applauding. Country music has influenced so much music around the world but gets so little recognition for it.

As any country music fan lover knows, this uniquely American music style has its roots in 1920's, Atlanta, Georgia. The beauty of country music and the mass appeal it has hearkened, in many's opinion, is from its emotional honesty and storytelling.

A good country singer doesn't just sing the words, he (or she) FEELS them, and makes the audience feel it too. Through stories and emotion, we learn a little about life, love and ourselves. Here are some beautiful country songs that will lighten your mood and tell you a story. (Auth. unknown)

Yep, your list is a good start, but there are hundreds of gems like "Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine" by Tom T and "500 Miles Away From Home" by Bobby Bare. Country music is the real American poetry.

Those of us who have been around a long time will remember many of the great country songs of the past. We could all be adding to the list for the rest of the day. There are so many great stars that have passed into the canyons of our memories. Hoyt Axton, Tom T. Hall, Tommy Overstreet, Roy Clark & Jim Stafford to just name a few.

An old Black gentleman friend I knew many years ago told me something I have never forgotten. He said, “Country Music is White Soul Music”

One song whose message was a powerful in 1968 as it is today and should be played to everyone is - Henson Cargill - "Skip-a-Rope"
