Any Real Country Fans Here?

[Gun-runner]

I'm a country fan that grew up listening to Willie, Waylon and Johnny and have found few to compare with them but this guy is great in my opinion.
Here's "The Last Cowboy" by Jamey Johnson:

+1 On Marty Robbins. I just borrowed a box set that I bought for my Mom so I could burn it. He has such a smooth voice.

I love old country. I am old and country. Hank, Sr., Jim Reeves, Tammy Wynette, Marty Robbins, Patsy Cline and many more. Wanda Jackson is always good in my book. Try Youtube for her song "The Box That It Came In". Country with a humorous twist.

Gun runner, amend to your choice of singer. Female singer include Loretta, Tammy and Pasty and of course Dolly

I'm a fan, Gun-Runner. Waylon covered Black Rose, but the quote you attribute to him was written by Billy Joe Shaver. He wrote most of the songs on Honky Tonk Heroes and he's still crankin out the real deal. Ray Wylie Hubbard, too.

I got both of his CDs this past weekend, and they are great!
The most country country artist out there today.
In fact, he is so good, that he probably won't be very successful with mainstram radio.
They usually don't get it, and push their pop music that passes for country today.

How about--Ray Wylie Hubbard---Hayes Carll---John Hiatt---Lucinda Williams---and as someone else said Billy Joe Shaver.

If you aint Waltzed across Texas with Ernest Tubb, then you aint listened to Country.

If you can't walk after midnight with Patsy or go to fist city with Loretta, you can take Johnny's job and shove it ! After the other Johnny takes it home one piece at a time, of course.

+1 Maddog. The sad thing is I have to go online to hear any of them. They are usually on "Alternative Country" radio.

WOW! Never heard of Wanda Jackson. Now I have to apologize that I forgot the ladies of country but Wanda rocks more than the rest!

If that isn't enough try her version of Hard Headed Woman it's awesome.
Thanks for mentioning her.
