“null”

“Dwight Yoakam”

“Hank (Senior, not Junior)
Jerry Lee Lewis
Johnny Cash
Patsy Cline
Carl Perkins”

“The old stuff is much better.

1.Patsy Cline
2. Mel Haggard (I turned 21 in prison doing life without parole....Mama tried)
3. Charlie Pride (Is Anybody going to San Antone (sp?) or Phoenix, Arizona?) 4.George Jones (And then Today, I started loving you again).
5. Johnny Cash (I fell in to a Burning Ring of Fire....)”

“tehipite, you are such a liar.

Hank Sr. is rolling over in his grave.”

“OZZY!!!”

“tehipite, "I think I will list five artists whose political and cultural ideals are in direct conflict with mine."

bacpac, "Busted."”

“Let me get this straight...you're busting me for not being politically correct enough? That's friggin' hilarious.

If it makes you feel any better, though, I also happen to like Dave Alvin, who is an old-fashioned bleeding-heart type.”

“No, I am calling you a liar.”

“And your accusation has no basis other than the assumption that one cannot appreciate artistic product produced by someone with whose opinions one disagrees...and that assumption is known, in popular parlance, as 'political correctness'.”

“Well here in Arkansas we still call it a lie.”

“So if you're so certain I'm lying about about which country singers are my favorites, then by all means tell me which other country singers I prefer to the ones I listed.”

“Well if Hank Williams baked cookies, and you said, "I don't like Hank Williams cookies."

And I said, "You don't like Hank Williams cookies, because of he is a conservative."

You might have a point.

Hank Williams wasn't baking cookies.”

“This is too funny!

I can feel the love!”

“Can you feel the truth?”

“waylon jennings

solitary, it's merle haggard, not mel, though i'm sure she can sing good too.”

“Wha...? Captain Incoherence strikes again. ;-)”

“I have met Bill Clinton. Tehipite is no Bill Clinton. Tehipite is a liar, a braggart, so busted.”

“LMMFAO!!!!!!!!!”

“yehaaaaaa”

“And your accusation has no basis other than the assumption
that one cannot appreciate artistic product produced by
someone with whose opinions one disagrees...and that
assumption is known, in popular parlance, as 'political
correctness'.

This was funny the first time I read it. Now it is damn histerical.”

“Uh none.

You gotta know when to hold em. Know why to fold em. Know when to walk away. Know when ta run”

“Man, this chick has it all.”

“David Allen Coe

Well my long hair just can't cover up my red neck
and I've won every fight I've ever fought .......
I don't need some turkey tellin me that I ain't country
saying I ain't worth a dime of the darn ticket that he bought
yeah Johnny Cash helped me get out of prison
Long before Rodregeuz stole that goat....

Well I can sing all them songs about Texassssssss
and I still do all the sad ones that I know
they tell me I look like Merl Hargard, and sound a lot like david Allen Cole.........

it was”

“PAT GREEN - if you haven't heard him yet...he's a great up-and-coming artist from outside of Wacko TX

and SIRPETE...how about 'the perfect country song'? anyone know that one??”

“anybody care? NO CAUSE WE'RE NOT DRUNK YET”

“spleek fer yoseff.”

“you can't sing it unless you're drunk..that's a pre-req”

“bacpac, you can't get around the fact that your bizarre insistence that I am lying (about what friggin' music I listen to, ferchrissake) is founded on the assumption that aesthetics must of necessity be subordinated to politics. That assumption of yours is the embodiment of political correctness...and it also happens to have been an essential characteristic of hardline communist (and Nazi) regimes.”

“"I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison,
and I went to pick her up in the rain
but before I could get to the station in my pick-up truck
she got run over by a damned old train"”

“What happened to his dog?”

“And his woman.”

“tehipite,
In the past we've been on opposite sides of the fence on many things ..... but now,
I would venture we can agree that bacpac is a fooking idiot. Having said that, let's start a new TT political party and be allies!

bacpac,
I have no trouble listening to Joni Mitchell, Phil Ochs, Joan Baez, Steven Stills, or any number of peacnik singers while writing out a check for my next year's membership in the National Rifle Association as I page through my latest copy of Mother Jones magazine. Do us all a favor man, get a life.”

“baume 66,
I must have been obsessing on Mel when I wrote that.(Hello Lost Tonto!) Merle he is and he's alright by me.”

“hey what happened to the Trail Songs thread?

Life isn't easy
Love never lasts
You just carry on
And keep moving fast

I pulled off the highway
And rolled into town
I'm just fancy free babe
And I travel 'round

Sometimes I'm up
Sometimes down
Where can I run to
How have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind

And my thoughts are filled with memories
They won't let me be
But if all the stars are shining bright
Well they would not let me see

It's so cold and the rain keeps blowing
It's tearing through the town
But I'm still fancy free darling
And I travel 'round

Sometimes I'm up
Sometimes down
Oh where can I run to
How have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind

Sometimes I'm up
Most times down
Oh where can I run to
Tell me how have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind

Who can I turn to
Tell me where to begin
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind”

“Rusty Travis”

“Jimmy Dale Gilmore (and the Flatlanders!)
Lucinda Williams
Iris Dement
are my three my current favorites. They are also great songwriters.

I'm fond of some of the old time greats like Hank Williams Jr., Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash. I also like Willie Nelson, Emmy Lou Harris.

Two small time unknowns I have come to enjoy are Mary Gauthier and Lori McKenna.”

“Willie Nelson & Emmie Lou are awesome (seen em both in concert) ped!!

good mellow tunes for when you feel you've been kicked on yer butt (again)”

“Merle Haggard,,,a little prison influence goes a long way.”

“Davis Allen Coe

I'm with ya on the "prison influence", Mr.chili36.”

“Junior Brown”

“Just about all the good ones are dead. I'm detecting a pattern...”

“Buddur is my favorite country singer. You know what's really funny about that song you sang on the way back to your van? That was the one stuck in my head for the whole hike!”

“Biz:

I saw Willie in Austin long ago. There is something wonderfully mellow about him. His lyrics are often deceptively simple. I wish I'd seen old Emmy Lou, she has been putting out great music for 30 years and she has kept changing.”

“Have you ever listened to Leon Russell's country albums? I love his version of "In The Jailhouse Now" by Jimmy Rogers.”

“Isn't "favorite country singer" an oxy-moron? LOL!

Gimmie the good ol' stuff like 'Possom, and Cash. If it's gonna be country, by G-d, make it country! I hate that cross over bull crap they sell as country. Garth Brooks...you out there? Yeah YOU! You suck! Leave the sappy love songs to Elton John and stick to cowboy music! Ya wanker!

Twain! You SUCK too! Ya little backwoods Brittney Spears ho! I gotta wood chipper wit yer name on it dear!”

“I clicked on this thread and the next thing I know I came too and I was sweating and all red in the face. Then I found this post! Weird man...very weird.”

“Sometimes you dream, sometimes it seems
There's nothing there at all
You just seem older than yesterday
And you're waiting for tomorrow to call

You draw to the curtains and one thing's for certain
You're cozy in your little room
The carpet's all paid for, God bless the TV
Let's go shoot a hole in the moon

And Roy Rogers is riding tonight
Returning to our silver screens
Comic book characters never grow old
Evergreen heroes whose stories were told
Oh the great sequin cowboy who sings of the plains
Of roundups and rustlers and home on the range

Turn on the T.V., shut out the lights
Roy Rogers is riding tonight

Nine o'clock mornings, five o'clock evenings
I'd liven the pace if I could
Oh I'd rather have a ham in my sandwich than cheese
But complaining wouldn't do any good

Lay back in my armchair, close eyes and think clear
I can hear hoofbeats ahead
Roy and Trigger have just hit the hilltop
While the wife and the kids are in bed

Oh, and Roy Rogers is riding tonight
Returning to our silver screens
Comic book characters never grow old
Evergreen heroes whose stories were told
Oh the great sequin cowboy who sings of the plains
Of roundups and rustlers and home on the range

Turn on the T.V., shut out the lights
Roy Rogers is riding tonight
