Another one of the greats has left us. My Dad had every album, then 8 Track, and then CD that Merle ever made. RIP Okie from Muskogee and thanks for the wall of music you contributed to the generations.

George Jones predicted the current state of country music 30 years ago with "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes." It was worst than he imagined however. I watched the ACMs the other night. SMH

Chris stapleton is off to a good start in his career. That man can sing
Stapleton would have been ran off stage if Merle and Co were up there. But compared to the current crop or nonsense he's pretty good. Good songwriter.
RIP Merle, Mama Tried is one of my favorite all time songs. Im 29 and had a grandpa that had me on the old country. I wish I would have been around to see these guys in their prime.
