Choctaw bingo

That is a good song and RWH performed it well. James McMurtry wrote Choctaw Bingo. James is Larry's son. Larry is the author of Lonesome Dove.

I like this one by McMurtry as well.

I first saw him on the Outlaw Country Cruise in 2016. Saw him again on the boat in 2020. He was supposed to be on the 2023 cruise, but cancelled at the last minute.

He came to Duluth when I was living in Peachtree Corners. Red Clay Music Foundry has some good shows.

WMOQ out of Monroe/Bostwick plays real country.

I don't know if they stream or not. If you are in the listening area, tune into 92.3
You can pick them up in Athens and surrounding areas.

There are a few good stations left in N. Georgia mountains but I don't know their frequency.

Steel Drivers are good though may technically be blue grass. Not good with genres.

Definitely bluegrass and they are real good.

I’m too young for the days of the “real” country music but my knee jerk and first answer is Alan Jackson. He never went over to the hip hop country.

IMO, Garth Brooks is the one who started the demise of country music even though I do like his music. He blended country and rock and roll which facilitated the transition to the modern day hip hop country.

It started way before Garth.I’d give more credit to bands like Alabama for starting the country pop sound. I was a big fan and bought their first 4 albums. They were my first concert. That was 1984 and juice Newton opened for them.

This one really took off, didn't it...

 

[slow motion]

Aaron Lewis is another good one but a lot of his songs have the occasional swear word.
Everybody Talks to God

They Call Me Doc is a good one that he sings also. It was written through the Creativets program helping veterans use music as a form of therapy. Can't link it but give it a listen. Don't think you'll be disappointed.

 

[Gator89]

Ray Wylie Hubbard did not disappoint. Sang some classics and some new stuff.

His son Lucas is a shredder.

 

[Danuwoa]

Was listening to Ian Noe’s last one while I was cooking supper. If I go a little while without listening to it and come back I’m knocked over by how good that album is every time.

Dolly, June Carter and Reba!! C'mon folks...

Dolly, June Carter and Reba!! C'mon folks...

Never had much for Reba, a whole lot less when I saw her pushing gun buybacks for one of her performances. Dolly and June yes!
