Willie Nelson and family is pretty much it. No more magical voice anywhere. Seen him several times. Good guy.

Wonderful talent. There are a lot of great vocalists today but they have to sing a style that sells records. I see it all as cookie cutter. Pretty much the same beat and voice inflections. Not a lot of individuality in todays "country".
 
I used to hate country music...and then my girl told me about a song that made her think of me every time.

So it aint all bad :D

It aint bad at all, specially when it gets your girl thinking :clap:. Im old school country, been playing and singing classic country and bluegrass since i was 13. Geesh im old :blsmoke:.
 
What is funny to me is i say the original punk rocker was not punk he was Johnny Cash. I grew up on old school country and it is nostalgia for me.

And Johnny Cash will always be the OG punker to me. And that is a big deal. His rendition of hurt gives me the chills every time I hear it.

Yes Johnny Cash was one of the original bad boys of country and did a lot of crossover stuff. He had a lot of blues and soul and could really communicate that thru his music. A lot of famous rock stars credit his influence and help. Just before he died he did a song just him singing and playing piano. I forget the name , cause im stoopid, but its a really powerful, thought provoking piece.
