C/W music Audiogon members

Are there ANY Agon members that like SOME country/western music besides me? I have fair collections of J. Cash, Emmylou Harris (not purely C/W I know), G. Jones, Merle Haggard, Don Williams, Linda Ronstadt (early especially), the Judds, Hank Williams Jr., and some others. Some of this music is very well recorded, and the voices great/unique. Also, is it true that if you play a C/W CD backwards that (1) the guy's dog comes back to life (2) he gets his pick-up truck back (3) quits drinking, (4) gets out of prison, and (5) gets his woman back :>) BTW, we won't see Albert Porter on THIS thread. Cheers. Craig.

Way2go,Albert,another; out of the closet. Chet the jet/fastest guitar in the west.(keep an eye on those fingers if you can)def.C&W And Les,besides his contribution to the making of/ and the multi tracking,yep I'd say the music;"How High the Moon" and "The World is Waiting For the Sunrise"/and most everything they did was more CW than some of todaysCW/ altho back then it was just "popular" Anyone;listen to "Boulder to Bermingham"by Emmylou.Maybe add a vocalist to you CW list Albert.

Do the New Riders Of The Purple Sage qualify as "country"?

Reminds me of the old exchange. QUESTION: What kind of music do you like? ANSWER: Both kinds. Country and Western. YeeeHaaaw!

I also like David Allen Coe, Graham Parsons/Burrito Brothers, Jerry Jeff Walker, Kinky Friedman And His Texas Jewboys, and James Intveld (how'd he get in there being so damn young?).

One can hardly claim to be a music lover without acknowledging the import/influence of "da white blues." While C&W per se isn't my first choice, it's influence in music that I do love is undeniable - e.g. covers of Hank Williams and Patsy Cline by the Cowboy Junkies, the eclectic Lyle Lovett, Chris Isaak, the Dead, the Beatles (Rocky Raccoon, Act Naturally), etc, etc. Not to mention Johnny Cash's self-titled MONO LP of just a few years ago - he's still going strong! Like they said in "The Blues Brothers," "We've got both kinds of music here - Country AND Western!" Cheers, -John
