What is Real Country Music for you

Hope this hasn't already been posted.

George Jones ,HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY

This guy has such an amazing voice, and sings some fantastic songs. Don't know if he was posted already. Been around for a good 50 years...and wish he hadn't lost his voice about 5 years ago...
Ian Tyson - Jaquima to Freno


This gentleman here, unfortunately passed away a few years ago. Garth Brooks "stole" his live show antics. High energy, and great music.
Chris LeDoux - Hooked on an 8 Second Ride


Both of these gentlemen relate so well to ranch life. I wanted to push some classic country, like Merle, Johnny, Willie...but these guys sing country like it was meant to be.

Tribute to a great artist

I realize most people concider this folk music, but in my mind it is country

Jealous man is one of my favs

I grew up listening to Hoyt.
I am not a country fan at all, but I do love Hoyt Axton.

Great song about Hank Williams Sr sung by Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams Jr.

This song called The Conversation..is a must listen to..if you are a country fan.

woot...no posters on the country thread? wtf?

here is a cute one about divorce by one of my favorite country artists John Prine.
Love the honesty to his lyrics.

Majella O'Donnell You Belong To Me

Hey, little one don't you cry
You must be brave, so dry your eyes
You know tomorrow will find me gone
Because the wild leads me on.

Peace of mind is hard to find
Lots of worries in this heart of mine
Why do I wonder so endlessly
And leave the girl, the girl that loves me.

It's all right, it's all right
It's all right, I'll be back someday.

Over the hill by the setting sun
My love goes back to my little one
Bless and keep her, oh Lord, above
And send to her all my love.

And carry me, oh, lonesome train
Over these hills back to my love again
This will be my last time to roam
And down in that valley that's where we'll build our home.

Just in time to be too late
My little one got married today
Carry me, oh, lonesome train
Behind these hills to hide my shame.

It's all right, it's all right
It's all right, I'll be on my way...

Bobby Bare - It's Alright (1965)

What is country music to me?

Driving down the highway with Elvis Presley.

In the country, of course.
