Classic Country Music for Newbie Fans (On topic and videos only)

Another fantastic guitarist with the highest male voice that is just pure sweet honey.
Eric Clapton invited Vince to play at his Crossroads festival.
George Jones nickname for him was "Sweet Pea".

I just saw Vince Gill in concert.

Vince killed it in concert.

Vince was touring with The Eagles.

I can't listen to this song without tearing up.

I smoked a joint with him and his son one night outside behind the stage ... security was a bit lax. The Earle's didn't mind since I had the joint.
A bit rocky but he always thought he was country and every time I saw him he was the lead-in for a country artist.

Introduction by Marty Stuart, country music's best host.
Charlie Pride is Black ... one of the few in country music ... certainly not a token.

 

[ajblakejr]

I suspect you have this one over the years.

Glenn Campbell
Publicly shared his journey into the world of Alzheimer's. His journey proves music is Powerful.

When you can't hold on to anything any longer; music holds on to you.

Glenn's journey into nothingness is a country song.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

This is as rednecky as you can get but this is one of those great songs that everyone seems to know.
David Allen imitates the singers he is mentioning in the song.

 

[MyTripisCut]

I actually won a two step contest with this song and a girl I used to know in high school. Lol, in Jersey!

 

[Old Man Jingles]

Appropriately, Junior was drunk every time I saw him.

If someone merges this thread with the deer hunters thread, @Brownslave688 will never post anywhere else.

Alan Jackson is from Newnan, GA and he reported to one of my friends at the K-Mart Distribution center.
Alan was a fork-lift operator and my buddy said he was always writing songs and singing while sort-of-working.

This is a song about Hank Williams Sr. aka Luke the Drifter.
If you ever hear a line about Luke the Drifter, they are talking about Hank Sr.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

Another song about Hank Williams Sr by our resident red-neck singer.

Marty Stuart not only a host

Also a fine guitar picker

 

[Old Man Jingles]

This is a band from Atlanta that tours all over the East Coast.
They can rock, and usually do, but this is one of their country songs.
I've seen them too many times to count ... now that they are touring I'm lucky to catch them twice a year.

Once upon a time music stars got TV shows. I got sucked out of the bubblegum world I lived in once a week because Daddy liked Johnny.

You grow up and Johnny throws this monster at you...

Raw.
Painful.
No jingles.
No melody.
And in the end you didn't call him Johnny Cash.
You just say, "Cash."

 

[Old Man Jingles]

Most people now associate this song with Darius Rucker but he covered this song.

 

[old levi's]

Worst country song ever,

 

[Turdferguson]

Here you go [B][COLOR=#5900b3]Princess[/COLOR][/B] ... a thread dedicated to you but others can appreciate as well.

Please don't post videos in here unless they are country music songs that emphasize the voice, musical melody and that tell a story.

Despite your "rules"

 

[Turdferguson]

He ain't classic, but he tells a good story with his songs.

just realized, nobody here remembers Pure Prairie League

In deference to Jingles, they are more country-rock than country.

And, yes, I certainly remember them. I have at least this album on vinyl.
