Choctaw Bingo by Ray Wylie Hubbard and Up Against The Wall Redneck Mothers also a classic from RWH. I listen to a lot of good music on Outlaw Country Sirius radio. I like Hank III he does some interesting stuff like Must Have Been The Pills and the song about D Ray White, Mississippi Mud, Six Pack Of Beer. Favorite Prine song is Angel From Montgomery covered by Bonnie Raitt always chokes me up. Seen Junior Brown a few times and that guy is an awesome picker and slide player on his "Guitsteel" contraption. All the other "standards" mentioned already always get the volume knob turned up

Good calls fourgear. Hard not to love Ray Wylie Hubbard, John Prine, and Junior Brown. Don't forget Jerry Jeff Walker also.

Mark Chesnutt has a decent cover of Heard it in a Love Song. Steel guitar instead flute.
The singers that came out in the '80s, Clint Black, George Straight, Ricky Van Shelton, Alan Jackson, Garth, and some others were the last true County singers. There are some talented singers now, but what they do is anything but true Country.

My two favorites are Hank Sr. So lonesome I could cry. The voice matched the song and it was simply great.
Patsy Cline I fall to pieces. Her voice sounds clearer and better than any one of this generations talentless hacks who have to remix their voices to hide their lack of talent. Event he best can't compare.
Both died before I was born but they were great.
I agree what is sold for country today is just a bunch of hip hop/pop/rap rejects and failures pretending they have talent.
Thank you all for giving me some nostalgic music to listen to.
