Country music

[Gary W. Graley]

Lately I’ve taken to listen to songs by Marty Robbins probably drives my wife crazy but just something about the songs he did, a few of my favorites are;

Big Iron
Mr Shorty
Five Brothers
Tall handsome stranger
Master’s Call

many more of course, not sure why they move me as they do but they does

Looks like someone is showing their age

The music today is nothing like the artist of old. IMO, the original songs are timeless and just as enjoyable today.

 

[Gary W. Graley]

lol yes, that certainly must be it ! and why not, next month will mark a year since I retired at 66 so, old is old, but those cowboy songs...I don't know they just strike a cord in me for some reason.

Can’t beat some good ol‘ Marty Robbins. Merle and WillIe are always close at hand. Been listening to Clint Black lately.

 

[Gary W. Graley]

Indeed Merle and Willie are key folks, one 'new' guy that I really like is Chris Stapleton, and a few others are in there too.

You could even say he’s a Diiiinooosaur


Old school is the best school. I never want to go without Johnny Cash and David Allan Coe

I saw Chris Stapleton and George Strait a couple years ago in Atlanta, one hell of a show.

I see that I'm not alone, my wife will be pleased that I'm not the only one.

If you like Cowboy music... NONE better than Don Walser.

 

[Gary W. Graley]

Don Walser is pure cowboy, a step further back than I go, but my father in law I'm sure would really like those a lot.

I recently ordered a Marty Robbins cd called "Gunfighter Ballads and trail songs" the big river folks decided to ship the cd AND my roll of 250' paracord in the same box, of course the cd case was damaged.

I contacted them before I opened the wrapper to get a replacement. I asked if they wanted the image of the cracked case, they said nope, don't need that and you can just keep the busted one, we will send you a new one.

SO...my father in law will be getting a new cd

Here’s a newer guy who knows what’s up:

How bout a little knife content from one of the best who ever was?

One more knife song for the road:

No problem, Gary! Guy Clark is great - might want to give his other stuff a spin. One of the best songwriters ever, IMO.

Becoming a C. Stapleton fan myself.

 

[Gary W. Graley]

I thought this was an interesting one that tells about our National Anthem

If you like some of the older stuff Colter Wall has at least a couple albums that'll appeal to you (as in he does some covers of Marty and others)
