C/W music Audiogon members

Alison Krauss singing "Heaven's Bright Shore" is a gift from above (I'm listening to it right now). Damn I'm getting old. That was 12 years ago on her second cd. She was still under 18.

Danvetc, I'm surprised you didnt mention your almost name sake and his band. And David, Asleep at the Wheel is a western swing band in the tradition of Bob Wills. Try Merle Haggard's tribute to him or Wills's Tiffany Transcriptons.

One more I will be surprised if anyone has ever heard: Mother Earth Presents Tracy Nelson Country, 1969 on reprise and it has been reissued on cd. If you liked Linda Ronstadt singing I Fall to Pieces, listen to Tracy's version.

Oops, the Tracy Nelson lp was on mercury, reissued by reprise archives. Absolutely amazing renditions of I Cant Go On Loving You, Im So Lonesome I Could Cry, I Wanna Be Your Momma Again and You Win Again.

Really nice to see some Agon members that like C/W also. For a long time I thought just the mention of it must be taboo here. Albert; I'm sure you know that I was just "baiting" you in jest with my thread comment. Of course what I was thinking of was your story about Steve McCormack actually soldering an anti-C/W device in an amp for you-- love that story, and glad to see you in this thread. Yes, I should have mentioned "the Trio", one of the best C/W albums ever. One that would make my all time top ten-- of any kind of music-- is Emmylou's "Cowgirl's Prayer" from a few years back. Howdy Podners. Craig.

Paulwp, these little subcompartments of music don't hold for very long, do they? You bet, in spite of the name, and among other bands, the Charlie Daniels Band, Marshall Tucker Band, The Outlaws, and early Eagles all defined what we called "Country Rock." These bands were jamming, partying, and playing hard. This was sing along music, (you know, with it turned up so loud even a dog's howling wouldn't ruin it.) Kinda like my voice. [:)] This music is alot(cornfedboy) of fun, especially if you take advantage of some of Dragan's tweaks, (see Best Beer post.)

Since Danvetc is waiting for a classical music guy like me to put my two cents in here goes. I looked through my old LPs and found an original Johnny Cash Ring of Fire LP. How's that for classic. ----- I also attended a country music show a couple years ago. It was based on Wagner's Ring Cycle (Das Reingold). The show was called "Das Barbecue". (Really !)
