After Holmes introduced the four as country giants, saying “some might argue they are country music,” they began to talk about what’s ailing America. Willie Nelson led with “there’s a lot of things wrong with this country. I think the spirit is still here, the spirit just needs to scream a little bit.”

Kris followed with a far more biting remark. “Other than the fact that it reminds me a lot of the flag-waving and choreographed patriotism that we had back in Nazi Germany half a century ago … the fact that we’ve got a one-party system which is in control of all three branches of our government … a lapdog media that’s cranking out propaganda for the administration that would make a Nazi blush … other than that, we’re doing pretty good.”

Johnny Cash added “If you ask me, one of the illnesses is that there’s too much money being spent on military and there should be more spent on education, welfare, the children, and the elderly … There’s always been a lot of things wrong with the country but it’s always been our obligation and opportunity to help straighten those things out. I love America.”

As a young country fan (24), I have been on a huge old country kick lately. I have discovered a lot of old country singers and songs of the past and I would say that these guys are my favorites.

I have listened to the essentials of these guys so I know their hits but old country singers have so many albums it’s hard to digest all their catalogs.

I have quite a few hours of the workday left so I would love some under appreciated songs by these artist so I have even more music to listen to of these legends.

Please comment some recs!

Yeah so google estimates that david allan coe only had about $1.5 million dollars at the time of his death at 86 years old. I find this really crazy seeing that he wrote some of the biggest country music hits ever, Like if you just look he wrote some of the most influential songs ever!.

Anyway's i just find that hard to believe he only had 1.5 mil at the time of his death. especially with the hits he wrote i would have thought he would have at least been a multi millionair many times over. What do you all think?

What you've done for me, Charley, is to help give music to my own story, as I live here in really unexpected life circumstances that are a result of a separation with my partner and spouse of over 15 years.

So, I've been feeling real low and beat down, and just unable to...do more than just get to work each day for the past year, really. But then I found your music; and when I first heard "Change Yo Mind," it would play on repeat in the back of my head, starting with that mournful sweet slide guitarist...Anyway, it made me pick up my acoustic guitar for the first time in three years so I could play it. So, thanks for helping me to want to sing and play music again. I'm trying to just be me again, and write my own story.

Hearing reports that David passed today this is a major loss for outlaw country https://savingcountrymusic.com/outlaw-country-legend-david-allan-coe-has-died/
