I thought I had to keep that buried deep in the closet. My tastes started in folk, went to rock (Airplane, Dead, Youngbloods, etc.) in the 60's then on to country swing (Seatrain, Dan Hicks, Amazing Rythym Aces), bluegrass/newgrass (Old & in the Way, older Kraus, Mark O'Conner, Emmy Lou, New Grass Revival, Laurie Lewis, D. Grisman) and then into crossover C/W-bluegrass/folk (Michelle Shocked, Lucinda Williams, Nanci Griffith, Martin Smith Jazz Quartet, Meyer-Douglas-O'Brien, etc.) Haven't seen anyone mention one of my favorites- Jesse Winchester and the Trio lps by Emmy, Linda and Dolly. I guess I go for simple instrumentation and fine voices. BTW, don't miss Will the Circle be Unbroken (I & II) which brought singers and music lovers from two generations together.
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.
