I am not big on Country music, call me picky. Johnny Cash, transcended the classification of Country. As did others like Ms Harris. I have seen several country artist over the years. Sod good, some actually pretty terrible. Two standout really bad live are Ronnie Milsap and Lee Greenwood. I agree about the corporate written pop songs with a country flavor. And, reworked Rock/Pop songs really annoy me when they claim to be country. "One Big Sky Covers Us All Equally"

I totally agree about country music. I call these current so called "country artists" rock and roll wannabees. I can count on one hand the number of current artists that I like and still have several fingers left. By the way that's a pretty good playlist!

I have always loved the older country music but it is so hard to find these days

Your Dad's restaurant sounds very much like the Horseshoe Curve Restaurant in Virginia where I spent endless hours listening to country music on the juke box and chatting up the owner's lovely daughter who tended the counter. Some great songs in your list. I lean toward the bluesy type of country. Particularly stuff written by Kristofferson: Help me Make it Through the Night, Sunday Morning Coming Down, Me and Bobby McGee, and of course Willie: Always on my Mind, Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground. Not sure why. Must be a hangover from my early youth when every encounter seemed like an anxiety trip or a missed opportunity. Those were great years when I was in that beer joint, not so great when I wasn't. Lol

I love old school country ( hard core) as some would call it. There are a few newer singers, (Who you never hear on the air ) that hold true to their country roots. Jamie Johnson, Frank foster, Creed fisher. Take a listen to them and see what you think. True country like everything else has turned to crap. THAT is a country girl.

They sound somewhat like Gary Stewart.

WOW! Great playlist to match an equally great story about your family's restaurant. There must've been places like that all over the south, years ago! There was one in Greensboro, NC off the main drag out to the airport back in my college days, think it was called 'Friendly's Seafood Restaurant', most everything was, of course, fried, from the catfish fillets to the hush puppies. Wood plank walls with wood booths with bench seating, low lighting and a bar, with the juke box, it was about two thirds "Country Music" and a third Rock/Rock and Roll. Used to catch hell from my Floridian friends that would go there with us for a rare meal away from the school's cafeteria. I'd stuff the juke box with coins and push the buttons to play as many Hank, Merle, WIllie, Lefty, Marty, Ray, Waylon, and George Jones song I could find on there, much to their chagrin, with the same complaint every time, "Man, why do you always play that trash, you ain't from the south and you ain't Country?" "For the Good Times" Ray Price "Boulder to Birmingham" EmmyLou Harris "Mr Bojangles" Jerry Jeff Walker "Maybe It Was Memphis" Pam Tillis "If you Got the Money, Honey, I got the Time" Lefty Frizzell "Momma Tried" Merle Haggard "Sweet Dreams (of You)" Patsy Cline "I'm SO Lonesome I Could Cry" Hank Williams "Always on My Mind" Willie Nelson "El Paso" Marty Robbins "Passionate Kisses" Lucinda Williams "Are you Sure Hank Done It This a Way" Waylon Jennings "Jackson" Johnny Cash and June Carter-Cash "Coca Cola Cowboy" Mel Tillis "He Stopped Lovin' Her Today" George Jones I was going to add some of the "newer" Country stars that I've listened to since "Disco lived/died", guys like George Strait, Alan Jackson, and a handful of others that carried the torch for the originals you and I have listed on here, but I had to remind myself this is your Blog, not mine! Thanks so much, poetess, you never disappoint!

poetess I too love the "older" Country music like Johnny Cash & Willie Nelson  A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. George Bernard Shaw Jenny

Poetess, my two country artists are Johnny Cash & Willie Nelson. I have used Cash's "A Boy Named Sue" as an example of Saturn a astrology presentation I did. I have always liked Willie. The problem with the current country artists is they do not know how to get to the "soul" of country music. Ray Charles said each type of music has it's own "soul" and you have understand and feel it to properly sing it. Remember Ray did go country for a while

I grew up listening to those Country Legends. Your family's restaurant must have been a hoot. Rich in history. Howling at the moon and mal ad osteo.

The Horseshoe Curve is in Clarke County VA on the Western slope of the Blue Ridge. My Dad's place was just up the road from The Restaurant. My place is about 12 miles North of there in Loudoun County on the Eastern slope of the Blue Ridge, not far from Harpers Ferry. Closest I ever got to Boone was Asheville. Good friend of mine from my Japan days lived just across the state line in Greenville. Went back to retire there he said to "rusticate." e
