Tyson is very good. My favourite song by Johnny Cash is "I still miss someone"- I guess I overlooked one of the greatest of them all.......Roy Acuff.

I know what you mean, for years I considered this modern stuff to be pseudo country and western. A lot of us guys who thought songs like "There's a tear in my beer" was the real Mccoy agree.

I like y'all, a lot, and it's only because of that love that I must once again warn you, my fellows, about the detrimental effects of country music on the family and national fabric. As you know I have called for and supported a global awareness campaign to ban the form all together. Please don't let me interrupt the thread any longer. PLEASE STOP CWM

Nice to see that there isnt too much modern pop country on this thread. When it comes to country I'm a fan of the older stuff. Hank Williams (the first), George Jones, Kris Kristofferson etc. I think the only modern poppy country person I like is Brad Paisley. Funny guy.

Did anyone ever write a happy country/western song? Maybe John Denver "Thank God I'm a country boy" but he
moved over into popular music

Most country songs are a lament over a girl, a horse, or a pickup truck, or something
