I live about 5 miles from the Red Mountain viticultural appellation and a little further from the Yakima Valley AVAs.
By this time next year, the grape fields are expected to be interspersed with fields of green. Well, indoor, anyway.

Country music isn't always about sippin' sweet tea and driving pick up trucks. Some country singers' songs were considered too risque for the radio waves. From steamy music videos to provoking lyrics, these artists were placed on the naughty list for their tunes.

Agree. The Cold Hard Facts of Life.
Merle Haggard ‘s I’m A White Boy was banned from most stations.
“YALLWIRE” is where he watches videos. It’s a choice on our Roku receiver.
he’s a leftist isn’t he? what do you expect?
Thanks, yallwire.com looks promising. I can’t pronounce the name, though, not being from that part of the country.
I don't know. I fail to keep track of such things most of the time. A lot of his videos have been very good, though.
LOL! We used to watch CMT quite a bit, back when it was mostly videos. Bill would watch videos while Anoreth was doing schoolwork.
Re your post 12, yep, that’s it. Kitty Wells was the singer of the song.
Thanks.
Yes, yes it is. Very good music!
Thanks again for yallwire.
It took me a while to get it to work because we use opendns.com to block certain domains such as most video servers (works very well), and in addition to yallwire.com I had to find and unblock blastro.com.
The Bluegrass selections seem to be quite nice. No slight intended to other genres.
I don’t know if you’ll find any on Yallwire, but DP and I were watching Australian country videos tonight while we drank a couple of bottles of wine and listened to the sleet hitting the windows.
Look for a group called “Redgum,” and a performer known as “Slim Dusty.” It reminded me of Texas in the 1980s.

Wells' tune quickly gave voice to married women in American who were fed up with their cheating husbands. Her statement was daring during a time where the music industry was dominated by men.
Actually, Wells' tune was a response song -- to Hank Thompson's Wild Side of Life:
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life
It even uses the same melody...
I wouldn’t have thought of that.
Good old Johnny Rebel. I have that record as well as a 45 rpm recording of his 1958 song "I Like Ike," in which he rails against "mixed-up schools."
Apparently Johnny Rebel was a Louisiana Cajun. Interestingly, his label, Rebel, was owned by J. D. Miller, who produced several hits for black artists such as Slim Harpo that were released on the Excello label.
