Since I moved to Nashville in the early 90s, I have acquired a taste for C/W including Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, and many others. I often have opportunities to see many of the famous and not so famous C/W artist/songwriters live at the local venues. (I saw Emmylou perform last Saturday at the Opry at the Ryman). Nashville seems to be also attracting many varied singers/songwriters/musicians in recent years. Among those who reside in Nashville currently include Emmylou, Donna Summer, Janis Ian, Steve Winwood, Peter Frampton, Felix Cavaliere of The Rascals, Michael McDonald, Larry Carlton, Steve Earle, and Kirk Whalum as well many mentioned above. Besides C/W, I really enjoy acoustic bluegrass or jazz from Bela Fleck, Mark O'Connor, Edgar Meyer, Jerry Douglas, and Tim O'Brien. Good listening!
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.
