1. Could never get into country music

but, that's just me.


Well except for Lucinda Williams. Does that count?

[backwoodsbob]

2. that counts :)

I'm the country/metal/rock hillbilly

3. I really like all three of those songs - even though I'm not

a country music fan. My ex-MIL used to have it on all the time back in the day, and I always looked forward to their songs. However...they have gotten SO WEIRD, especially Wynonna. I can't even bear to look at her anymore.

Loves me some Ashley Judd! :)

7. I like some of the old school duets...

George & Tammy, Johnny & June, etc. The songs felt real because they all had a level of drama in their personal lives that often overshadowed the requisite melodrama in the songs they performed.

Also, Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris brought new life to the genre. "Grievous Angel" is one of the greatest "2nd Generation" Country albums, period.

In 2011, age and experience has resulted in a more world-weary tone to Emmylou's voice, and her choice of material (especially on her recent album "All That I Intended To Me") has bordered on the morose, but her first four albums (Pieces of the Sky, Elite Hotel, Luxury Liner and Quarter Moon In A Ten Cent Town) are still the stuff of legends...beautifully performed, strong material, just a joy.

9. The Judd's are very good, and I'm no expert on country

but I was reading Skeeter Davis' bio and the first record she and Betty Jack Davis put out (way back in 1953) was "I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know" so I pulled it up on Youtube and was blown away by their harmonies. It was so obvious where the Everly Brothers got their sound. The story of the Davis Siters has a tragic ending, of course, with the death of Betty Jack in a car wreck at age 21 just as they were climbing to the top.

10. thank you for remembering the davis sisters

skeeter was my aunt. they werent really sisters, just girls who met in school and started singing together. they were best of friends though...

11. Are you a Penick or a Roberts?

None of my business, of course. I sat down and read the book cover to cover last weekend (I had not read all of it before) and your aunt seemed so sweet and open-hearted. She obviously loved Betty Jack very much and their voices coming together was magic. Skeeter was an unappreciated talent in her own right-and from the comments under her videos always say the same thing-people can't believe she isn't in the Country Music Hall of Fame. I can't believe it either. My best to your family, Blue.

12. my mom

and skeeter were sisters.and you are right, skeeter was the sweetest lady in the world

13. Here's a great country duet

One of these guys isn't usually associated with country music, but it seems to fit him just as naturally as his usual stuff
