Oh dear, if there is something I simply can't stomach it is country. If I had to choose I would pick a year of listening to the Dead over any amount of country. Geez, I'm strikin' out with on all music fronts with you.

A very tight band, great voice, and simple songs with great lyrics. This is an example of modern country, not honky-tonk corn. One of my favorites: George Strait - Ace In The Hole - Live From Tucson http://youtu.be/5bWWGFOYaN4 http://youtu.be/5bWWGFOYaN4 George Strait - Ace In The Hole Band Introduction - Live in Houston, 1996 http://youtu.be/DW1SGnsk8Ms http://youtu.be/DW1SGnsk8Ms On Thu, Dec 12, 2013 at 8:07 AM, Richard Williams <punditster@... mailto:punditster@...> wrote: Marty Robbins Marty Robbins "Devil Woman" 1978 Live in Holland http://youtu.be/_zhHpsMezkA http://youtu.be/_zhHpsMezkA On Tue, Dec 10, 2013 at 10:18 PM, Richard Williams <punditster@... mailto:punditster@...> wrote: Tear Jerk Song George Strait - Give It Away http://youtu.be/qYNcR44qKds http://youtu.be/qYNcR44qKds "She was stormin' through the house that day And I could tell she was leavin' And I thought, 'aw, she'll be back.' Until we turned around and pointed at the wall and said That picture from out honeymoon That night in 'Frisco Bay Just give it away She said give it away That big four poster king sized bed Where so much love was made Just give it away She said just give it away [Chorus] Just give it away There ain't nothing in this house worth fightin' over Oh, we're both tired of fightin' anyway Just give it away Oh, I tried to move on But I found that each woman I held Just reminded me of that day When that front door swung wide open She flung her diamond ring Said, give it away Just give it away And I said, now honey Don't you even want your half of everything She said give it away Just give it away [Chorus] So, I'm still right here where she left me Along with all the other things that she don't care about anymore Hmm Like that picture from our honeymoon That night in 'Frisco Bay She said give it away Well, I can't give it away That big four poster king sized bed Where all our love was made She said give it away Well, I can't give it away I've got furnished house A diamond ring And a lonely, broken heart Full of love And I can't even give it away" On Tue, Dec 10, 2013 at 12:27 PM, Richard Williams <punditster@... mailto:punditster@...> wrote: George Strait George Strait - Amarillo By Morning (Live From The Houston Astrodome) http://youtu.be/kX_9Go0Z8e4 http://youtu.be/kX_9Go0Z8e4 One of my favorite Straight songs, "Amarillo by Morning", is regarded by many as one of the greatest country songs of all-time. Billboard ranked Strait No. 1 in the top 25 country artists of the past 25 years. "According to the RIAA, Strait is the 12th best-selling album recording artist in the United States overall, with 60 number one hit singles.
