Billy Walker is my kind of country crooner. “Matamoros”, a 1964 hit that played perfectly to Walker’s silky, smooth tenor, is the tale of love lost on the high plains. It’s a big Western soap opera with gunslingers and casinos and broken hearts. Walker was known for these sort of lilting tales of Th ...

Norma Jean She’s not as fiery as Loretta or as sassy as Dolly. Tammy was more dramatic and Jeannie more modern, but Pretty Miss Norma Jean’s classic recordings have a worldliness, a weariness that was virtually unmatched in the 1960s and ’70s. She was the small country girl turned big city woman. Ed ...

2011 was actually a slightly better year for country music than the past several years, though you’d never know it from listening to country radio. A lot of my old favorites released new albums this year, so it was a little easier than usual for me to find new music to listen to. Here are [...]

The country music umbrella stretched wider than ever this year, regardless of the fact that radio playlists seem shorter than ever. Of course, it’s not just the Americana acts that can’t get radio play these days. Even top-selling albums by Scotty McCreery and Alison Krauss & Union Station weren’t e ...

It only takes one good song to gain admission over here, and one good song is about all I know of Porter Wagoner. But, what a doozy it is. Some of you may know it from the Flying Burrito Brothers cover of it. Tom Jones, and a few others, covered it as well. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure Wagone ...

1985 | Peak: #1 Want to separate the real deals from the posers? Ask them to sing “The Chair.” There isn’t a hat act out there who could measure up to Strait’s delivery of this song. It may not have the emotional heft of George Jones’ “He Stopped Loving Her Today” or Porter Wagoner’s “Green, Green G ...

I love any chance that traditional Country Music gets national television air time. RFDTV, has some great musical programs that highlight traditional Country artists. If you don't have RFDTV, your missing out and should call your cable company. You can view reruns of The Porter Wagoner Show (yes, ev ...

1972 | Peak: #11 A good old-fashioned cheating song, from the days when songs such as this were very much in fashion. It’s not as interesting or deeply layered as Barbara Mandrell’s “The Midnight Oil”, released the following year. But it’s a more believable pairing than most of the duets they sent t ...
