Who's your number 1 (so to speak) then Crock and are we talking dead or alive? I'd dispute SE being 2, he's much further on down my list, went off the boil after his first 2 LPs IMO although I quite liked Train a Coming. Anyway he's a lucky swine as he's married, for the millionth time or was up until recently, to the lovely and talented Allison Moorer, saw her at the Islington Union Chapel a few years back...sigh...

Don't know his stuff, I thought he was a rock musician - I'll give him a go.

Bit of a newbie when it comes to country, but these two blokes are very clearly a bit out of the ordinary...

Love it, going to see Hank Wangford tomorrow night. Have always loved the voice of Billie Jo Spears, if not her face.

Saw these guys last month, I don't think anybody moved or spoke throughout their first song, jaw dropping.

damn. Buffy evening at Casa DZ. I had to retreat upstairs and establish a masculine redoubt with the cat (and, come to think of it, he's not all that masculine..)

Don't worry DZ, it was a couple of weeks ago - y'all missed it by miles!

I saw most of that evening, & enjoyed most of it.
Not too keen on what I call the 'Rhinestone era' (generally the late 60's - early 80's)
That said, I do like Dolly Parton - the older stuff like 'Coat Of many Colours, & the later CDs ('The Grass is Blue' & 'Little Sparrow')

Dwight Yoakham; got the first few Albums (on vinyl)' 'Guitars, Cadillacs....', 'Hillbilly Deluxe', 'Buenos Nochos...'
Dixie Chicks - really enjoyed them in concert (Manchester 2003)
Johnny Cash!!!!! -saw him (& June) way back..... in the mid-70's,when he was on his 'SilverJubilee' tour!!

Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Buck Owens, Willie Nelson, Flatt & Scruggs, Hank Williams*, Buck Owens, Patsy Cline, KD Lang, EmmyLou Harris, Iris Dement, Alison Krauss, etc, etc..........

'Crock'
I'm another Steve Earle fan, but haven't seen that clip before


*Mentioning Hank Williams, have any of your seen this version of 'Settin The Woods On Fire'????

Country music... one of the few things the deaf have going for them.

Your mileage obviously varies

Not the best track, but one with something to say, in response to the threats against them after they 'dissed' George Bush (in Texas of all places!!)

Got to agree, & 'ditto' for 'Exit 0' too!!!
