I played a lot of music over the years both on radio and in the nightclubs. I played all kinds
Rock and Roll the oldies and of course Country Music. I like it all but I think I preferred the
Country section the best. Those radio stations had the nicest listeners and the clubs featured
a real good clientele. My wife and I have a collection of all kinds of stuff we could play country
music all day for almost a year and never play the same song twice. Again rock the same thing.
I now take grand kids down stairs and let them hear the original,, of the remake they think is new.
Every now and then the older ones go down there and thumb through the vinyl library and come
up with some stuff to record. Mostly they like the album covers I think,
The problem with some of today's country is it more pop than country. but then it depends on when
you came to country music and sooner or later country fans tend to explore the roots of country
that means I need to listen to more of the new stuff and see if I can appreciate this stuff.
I like Bobby Bare Hank Jr Tom T Hall, Merle is my favourite, along with Willie George Jones,
Ed Bruce who was a great writer, and many like that. Mel McDaniel and Gene Watson or
Roy Clarke.
who would you say are your top ten country music artists?
