Yes remember all the times I told you you're going to have to wait for me to slowly progress with Merle and George as I go through this thread

yeah but that means youve progressed like 5 albums from the last time i remember talking Merle with you. theyre pretty quick albums though tbf

you on all of his 68 albums im assuming? the legendary opus (song) mama tried

hows that slow Willie progression though

waylon?

I'm not that into Willie and yes I'm also doing a complete Waylon run thanks for reminding me to update him too

just checking out the singles so far but yeah ill be doing all his albums. bit more selective with george who had alot of crap come out.

waylon's regal 70s run been sinking in like crazy for me lately

and once willie's unique jazz inspired offbeat vocal style clicks

dang forgot to check out Charlie Pride didnt realize he was well on his way by '68

man that offbeat vocal style alot more challenging than i thought it would be doesnt work for me

canada gave waylon his first #1 this year

hes cool, i only got like the 20 or so greatest hits by him though. great voice

he's also my favorite country balladeer so maybe that part will click for you some devastating tearjerkers, also aged gracefully

probably heresy for you but i prefer his original version of Crazy to Patsy's

I think I already knew. crazy but not heresy.

Roy Clark the hillbilly banjo assassin from Hee Haw @twinkletoez a real one

"Do you believe they burned a house down yesterday
You won't believe the reason that they gave
If the folks who lived there had a known their place
They could still be hanging around
Do you believe this town?"

Hee Haw starts next year should be alot of great performances

ballsy

how come nobody told me about this Tree Of Life the song

did grampa invent hip hop

Yup. Stand up comedians have a remarkably underrated influence on early rap music.

64 years old in 1968

uncanny how much it sounds like Grandmaster Flash etc though. this the actual proto.
