hey people what about Gram Parsons!??

Waylon was pure destiny.......lost the coin toss for the fatal plane flight with Buddy Holly and went on to make some of the most soulful country records of all-time: "This Time"..."The Ramblin' Man"...."Honky Tonk Heroes"...."Waylon Live"....."Lonesome, On'ry & Mean"....."Dreaming My Dreams".........one of the most soulful and heartfelt country singers ever

Couldn't agree more. have you heard the new expanded Waylon Live? It's fantastic.
Dreaming My Dreams is one of the most overlooked masterpieces in any genre.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Possum and of course worship at the altar of Hank Sr, but for my money Waylon is the greatest voice country has known - the only true soul honky tonk singer.

> absolutely cosmoprim....Waylon Live (expanded) would be my first recommendation if you're starting out with Waylon........doesnt get much better imo.........of course with no disrespect to the King (Hank Sr. - The Babe Ruth of country)

yeah such a lucky man! i like him too leonard but it's his voice i don't like too much. love also Merle Haggard, Dolly Parton and Tammi Wynette. i saw the movie about Loretta Lynn yesterday,great!

Don't like Waylon's voice!?!
Wow.

Farawayeyes2....you cant go wrong with any of those greats....and yes!!!...Gram Parsons/The Flying Burrito Bros are great imo....'ol Gram died out here in Southern California at the Joshua Tree Inn(a beautiful place to camp).....his flame burned bright and short

i like it, don't love it cosmoprin!

Sunday morning comming down Johny Cash. One More night Bob Dylan.You were always on my mind Elvis.Woody Guthrie-Buffalo Skinners.Going through the motions Candi Staton (black country).Gram Parsons'''She''.Neil young ''My boy''.....I love this music!!!!!Still finding my way into it ,thanks for all the tips I am gonna check it out!Maybe some mp 3 to begin with???Anybody....cause Idunno ''Rockman or Baboon are diggin good country.

and for anyone interested in new (but authentic country) THE DERAILERS come from the Buck Owens, Bakersfield sound school of country...."Reverb Deluxe" is their best to start out with.....they've got their roots in deep to the fine country tradition (no rootless "new" country in their sound)

Leonard you're a great country fan! Could you tell me some of Johnny Cash best songs? i don't have any of his albums but i'd like to get somethin!

Hey farawayeyes2....i'd start out with the Complete Sun Sessions....early and raw from the famous Sun Studios in Memphis........and his live at Folsom Prison and San Quentin Prison recordings are excellent....his body of work is LARGE....you might wanna go on to Amazon.com and read some reviews of his work

Howdy Rooster Man...Charlie Pride is definitely up there

Again, I hate the racial thing, and I know you weren't asking me, but Charley Pride is the best known Black country singer.
Solomon Burke's "Just Out Of Reach (Of My Two Empty Arms)" is the greatest country song sung by a non-white singer. Absolutely kills any of Brother Ray's Countrypolitan stuff.

And I feel apartment no9 is,top country indeed.....Ronnie can handle the pedal-steel really...good...I thought.

thank ya! i've always felt sympathy for Cash beacause he seemed a "punk" to me, a free spirit! i'm gonna have a look on amazon!

Be sure to check out Tammy Wynette's version of Apt. #9. Killer.

Its so nice to make secu mix Blues-deep soul,country tapes put some Stones in it and your way is p to the highway and the neverending road,country music is sometimes so heartbreaking...facing the white line....I want to say to ''head''that bobby Bland is from Texas!And man,He still lives aaaaaand hes dammm goooood.

Biggest Mistake, Through The Lonely Nights, Evening Gown (Jagger solo!)...
And every other country song by the Stones... they are just great!

Going through the motions is exelent black country...oh my god this is good...bless her what a voice!!!!!

I love Tammy..she s been there...in hell...and one ca hear it!

Candi Staton s version of suspicious minds is a gem!

Aint you got the silver....country?????

Can some one please send me some mp3 s of those heart breaking country songs???

Does there exist out-takes of the out-takes?''NoSpare parts''?Love this country tune!

whats about the most famous country song ever :

thr ring of fire....(or is this not country..i dont know)

-----------------------------------------------------
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Ring of fire is good...would love to hear Tammy Wynette s version of Apt#9!Anybody?

What about High and Dry? Great country song!

I heard a bluegrass band do Turd on the Run. When done with acoustic guitars and mandolins, it's very, very hillbilly.

Um...there's a song called HONKY TONK WOMEN...that's pretty good...anybody know it?
