Country music went to crap in the mid seventies. I’m not surprised to hear it devolved to this level.
I think I’ll go listen to this album for the millionth time.

I think The Highwaymen was the peak ...

Check out Long Black Train by Josh Turner. Great voice, chilling lyrics, deep message.

Ray Charles can melt butter in the freezer, his voice is that good.
