Now its the turn of country & Western music. This should be an interesting thread, just to see how many fans of C&W we have.
Lets start with Johnny Cash.
Johnny Cash - The Man In Black [Originally released in 1971]
Johnny Cash - Dont Take Your Guns To Town [Originally released in 1959]
John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author, who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music artist, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll - especially early in his career - as well as blues, folk, and gospel.
Marty Robbins - El Paso [Originally released in 1959]
Martin David Robinson (September 26, 1925–December 8, 1982), known professionally as Marty Robbins, was an American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. One of the most popular and successful country and Western singers of his era, for most of his nearly four-decade career, Robbins was rarely far from the country music charts, and several of his songs also became pop hits.
Not strickly a C&W singer but I like the song and it has a western connection.
Gene Pitney - (The Man Who Shot) Liiberty Valance [Originally released in 1962]
Gene Francis Alan Pitney (February 17, 1940 – April 5, 2006) was an American singer-songwriter, musician, and sound engineer. Through the mid-1960s, he enjoyed success as a recording artist on both sides of the Atlantic.
Don Williams - I Recall A Gypsy Woman. [Originally released in 1974]
Don Williams (born May 27, 1939 in Floydada, Texas), is an American country singer, songwriter and a 2010 inductee to the Country Music Hall of Fame. He grew up in Portland, Texas, and graduated in 1958 from Gregory-Portland High School. After seven years with the folk-pop group Pozo-Seco Singers, he began his solo career in 1971, singing popular ballads and amassing 17 No. 1 hits. His straightforward bass-baritone vocals, soft tones, and an imposing build earned him the nickname "The Gentle Giant" of country music.
Boxcar Willie - Train Medley [Originally released in 1980]
Boxcar Willie, born as Lecil Travis Martin (September 1, 1931 – April 12, 1999) was an American country music singer, who sang in the "old-time hobo" music style, complete with dirty face, overalls, and a floppy hat. "Boxcar Willie" was originally a character in a ballad he wrote, but he later adopted it as his own stage name. There is no relation to the fictitious character, bearing the same name, as featured in the CJCLS commercial that aired ~1985.
Garth Brooks -The Thunder Rolls [Originally released in 1991]
Troyal Garth Brooks (born February 7, 1962), best known as Garth Brooks, is an American country music artist who helped make country music a worldwide phenomenon. Troubled by conflicts between career and family, Brooks officially retired from recording and performing from 2001 until 2009. . In 2005, Brooks started a partial comeback, and has since given several performances and released two compilation albums.
On October 15, 2009, Garth Brooks announced the end of his retirement. In December 2009, he began a 5 year concert deal with the Encore Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
Ahhhh...Don Williams...I waited on him and his wife for about a week once every day...really nice guy! At the time one of my exercise aerobic teachers was playing this horrible Don Williams song and this exercise that went with it sucked so I asked him if he could please write a note to her to stop playing it...he had a great sense of humor and actually agreed to do it LOL
Actually at the time I ended up waiting on every single C&W star I ever heard of and with the exception of Hank Williams Jr they were all EXCEPTIONALLY nice people..
...anyway My lover came up with two C&W songs I forgot I really liked...the first one below won an award (whatever those C&W awards are called)...I really love my girls from Oakland:biggrin:......Here are June, Anita, Bonnie and Ruth
