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.

ok, i was saving this for a thread on "guilty pleasures" but i've gotta admit that i'm a big fan of willie nelson (favorite album "reheaded stranger"), johnnny cash, emmylou harris and especially lyle lovett. lyle and his large band play fairly frequently in colo. saw him in vail last year. awsome concert. just to let you know my tastes are eclectic, tho, i'm gonna see phil lesh & friends at the fillmore (denver) tomorrow nite. yep, old deadhead, too.

True confessions at the Agon Corral. Actually what it says to me is that the folks mentioned time and time again are artists. Their work has brought pleasure to a diverse group from around the US and if we can get Redkiwi and Ben and others to chime in, maybe from around the world. Great is great and me should all be thankful to have them to listen to. And shame on me for not mentioning Tracy Nelson. Have a 2 or 3 LPs and 2 CDs. Like the music on the LPs better. Now I might have to swap out the BAT for the SP9 MK2 and plug the TT back in and listen to some real "soul" music.

.....gotta agree with some of the recent comments above. Ray Charles recent release (well, a year ago) of a 4 CD set on Rhino label "Ray Charles Greatest Country and Western Hits" is one of my favorite "finds" of all time. IMO, not really country, but country soul, country swing, country jazz, and my favorites-- the country ballads. This is a dynamite set in either Soul or C/W categories-- and very well recorded. Cheers. Craig

Is "Gost Riders in the Sky" sung by Miss Peggy Lee good C&W? This song has been a fix of mine since I was a little kid. I recently was able to pick it up on CD. Now all that I need are ten more box tops from Borax soap to get my twenty wagon mule train model.
