Recently began looking up all the C&W songs and artists I enjoyed in my younger days.

Green Green Grass of Home is particularly poignant. Great performance by one of the greats who's no longer with us.

Whenever a song comes out in the style they now call country, I listen to an old one.

My mom grew up with Porter Wagner and I had an aunt grow up with Roger Miller

I used to think Porter was too corny to take seriously, but I eventually - "belatedly" if you will - had to give him credit where it was due. I stopped listening to most new C&W in the mid-1990's and now listen to either old stuff or the people who hang on to the "old ways" (that includes Porter's fan Marty Stuart).

The Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton story is very special especially from where she struck out on her own until he passed away.
