[DinahMoeHum]

15. (sigh!) The good old days of the Lone Star Cafe in NYC!

where I first cut my C & W appreciation teeth.

Bobby Bare was a favorite of mine back then (and many of his songs were written by the late great Shel Silverstein)

[Doc_Technical]

16. A few more:

"All his Children"= Charley Pride

"Don't Bogart that Joint"- Fraternity of Man

"Drugstore truck driving Man"- Gram Parsons/Emmylou Harris

[brooklynboy49]

17. I'm not a C&W fan

But, I was really into the country rock stuff of the '60s. Especially The Byrds' country tinged albums, like Sweetheart of the Rodeo. "You Don't Miss Your Water", whether fronted by McGuinn or Parsons, is one of my many favorite Byrds tunes. I also love their second (slow tempo) version of 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue".

When it comes to more "traditional" country music, it's an easy choice for me -- 'Crazy", by Patsy Cline.

[Rhythm]

18. I UNapologetically love this one...

28. Here's one most of you've never heard

This album marked the first time Ween limited themselves to a specific genre of music. Bringing in a wide variety of seasoned (and sometimes legendary) Nashville musicians (including Charlie McCoy, Buddy Spicher, Bobby Ogdin and The Jordanaires), the album sought to recreate the sound of golden-age country music with a great amount of success, while also combining this sound with classic Ween on such tracks as "Piss Up a Rope." The legendary Bradley's Barn was chosen for recording the album. Later, Ween would assemble some of the session musicians again into a touring band dubbed The Shit Creek Boys.

[Trailrider1951]

29. Anyone remember John Prine?

one of my favorites back then....

[doxydad]

31. As a 35 plus year DJ...

Here's a short list of the best:

Johnny Cash ...I've been everywhere
Roger Miller...Walking in the sunshine
Johnny Bond... Hot Rod Lincoln
Gene Pitney... 24 hours to Tulsa
Ronnie Milsap... Daydreams about night things
Statler Brothers.. Do you remember these....

Don't even start me on the Doo Wop or Early rock 'n Roll!
