C/W music Audiogon members


Are there ANY Agon members that like SOME country/western music besides me? I have fair collections of J. Cash, Emmylou Harris (not purely C/W I know), G. Jones, Merle Haggard, Don Williams, Linda Ronstadt (early especially), the Judds, Hank Williams Jr., and some others. Some of this music is very well recorded, and the voices great/unique. Also, is it true that if you play a C/W CD backwards that (1) the guy's dog comes back to life (2) he gets his pick-up truck back (3) quits drinking, (4) gets out of prison, and (5) gets his woman back :>) BTW, we won't see Albert Porter on THIS thread. Cheers. Craig.

Count me in - more on the bluegrass and pre-70's stuff though. I have a large 78 rpm record collection, so I get to listen to original pressings of guys like Spade Cooley and Jimmy Wakely and Wiley Walker. I guess that's really Western Swing, but ...hey, it's what Dad played when I was a kid, ok? Current faves include Dwight Yoakam and a new kid I just found named Kasey Chambers - the odd part being she's straight outa the south alright - Australia! But if you can imagine Allison Krause crossed with Tammy Wynette, she's what it would sound like. Gotta agree with Whatjd about most of what I hear on the local so called "country" stations, though. Gimme Little Jimmy Dickens anytime!
