Outside of Hank Williams output, by far my favourite tune by anyone in the family. She seems to pretty much have given up music and its musics loss. The Highway was a fantastic album. Kat Hasty is great as well, take a listen to her stuff on Spotify, just a shame that she only has one 20 minute album and a few EP's, I'm still waiting for a full length album from her. For country pop I really enjoyed Megan Moroneys album, some nice cheesy stuff on there but also some great acoustic ballads as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 oh man, on my list yesterday I completely forgot to include Charles Wesley Godwin, he's **** incredible, the closest thing we've had to Guy Clarke in my opinion. Drayton Farley is really good as well, his EP was better than his album, he got in some of Jason Isbelle's players and producers and now he sounds like Drayton Isbelle which is a shame because the EP was solid, the album is still good just far too similar to what was already out there.

I thought you had to be 'handy' to be in that. Glen Campbell was an absolutely brilliant guitar player, apparently Eddie Van Halen once tried to get a guitar lesson with him! Roy Clark was another, technically superb and could play guitar, banjo and violin to a high level. Most of the top country guys had serious guitar chops, and that often gets forgotten about as people remember them for their songs rather than their ability on instruments.

Roy Clark is great and one of the most entertaining musicians to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I've got around 1000 albums, I'd say the two I have by Tanya Tucker and Johnny Cash are the only ones you'd class as country (apart from the many forays by Neil Young into that genre).

Seat68 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) Yesterday a Willie Nelson 4 part documentary was released on Paramount Plus called Willie Nelson and Family, he deserves 4 episodes as his career has had so many phases and stages. I will be watching that tonight. Thanks @theboyangelfor that heads up. In addition, unsure what is happening at Paramount Plus but later on in January they are releasing a documentary on June Carter Cash called June. For some she was just Johnny Cash's wife, but she had hell of a career and life as part of the Carter Family before her relationship with Johnny.

Also Paul English could have had a whole episode, his former drummer, but sadly not the case. So yeah definitely worth a watch, not 100% chronological but broadly very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
