The Country Music Thread, 8th Style...

I saw Tim McGraw, Clay Walker, Sammy Kershaw, Charlie Daniels Band... the list goes on. Tim came as a relative unknown in maybe 92 or 93. Sammy puts on a great show.

 

Let us not forget Keith Whitley in our discussion as well. Career cut short due to death, but 3 of my favorite songs of all time in that span too.

 

ha. Have a friend that yelled "You killed Keith Whitley!!" at Lorrie Morgan once. Same friend was in Jamaica a couple weeks ago telling a guy at the bar about someone he knew who porked Lorrie. Guy turns around and says, "WHO HASN'T??!!"

 

ha...just as you mention whitley.

 

Not Andy L was it? Sounds up his alley.

 

Some of you have good taste in music

 

Actually, I need to download some Keith Whitley or go find a CD. Just realized I didn't have it in my collection.

 

Nope. We need to get him on here. Haven't talked to him in forever.

 

I'm sorry, but Something in Red is just a filthy song, and probably the crux of my fandom of Lorrie Morgan.

 

It was Rick Trevino that had you convinced, huh?

Kentucky Headhunters

 

I just worked up Sammy's 'Honky Tonk America.' Underappreciated song imo.

 

Ha, I hate Lorrie Morgan

 

Dumas Walker ftw.

 

For good reason. She killed Keith Whitley.

some great names mentioned today. I too am a big Tracy Lawrence fan and I don't know that I'd say top ten, but Jo is right that I am a big fan of what little Rick Trevino got to put out. Clay Walker, Sammy Kershaw, Tracy Byrd, Confederate Railroad, Diamond Rio, McBride and the Ride, Collin Raye, Mark Chestnutt, Doug Supernaw, Daryle Singletary, Keith Whitley, David Ball, Doug Stone, Gary Allan, Joe Diffie, Sawyer Brown, John Anderson (Hillbilly Hollywood is a top ten, probably top five all time), John Michael Montgomery, Randy Travis, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, I even like early Kenny Chesney stuff. Above is my favorite Hal Ketchum song. Not one of his biggest hits, but I've always really liked the song. Reba has her moments and I like Alison Krauss, most of Martina McBride's stuff, some Pam Tillis and a little MCC, but not much from the women in the 90s really gets me. Ironically I didn't care for Aaron Tippin in the 90s but I find myself listening now when his stuff comes on the radio.

 

Always liked this version...
