Mondays' Music Moves Me. Country and Western tribure. From the 60's to the 90's

No, your eyes are not deceiving you, I am serious.

For the longest time I have loved Country and Western music, This page is a tribute to some of my favorite Country and Western singers and my favorite songs.

We start off with a song by Merle Haggard.  I got this song on his 1975 album "Movin' On" which featured his main title theme for the really bad T.V. series of the same name.  I fell in love with "Life's like Poetry" long before I had ever fallen in love.  This is still one of my favorite romantic songs of all time.

Next up is another favorite, Mr. Glenn Campbell, doing a song thtat I sang at a tryout for a school show once.  The song parodied by Johnny Carson and is still a favorite song Rhine Stone Cowboy.

Next up is Kenny Rogers, I remember hearing him on the radio late at night   I heard him sing Lucille and had to have the album and I got if my birthday.  I still think that Kenny Rogers is a great singer and actor as well.

Johnny Cash had been one of my all time favorite singers, when he was alive.  His music was featured in one of last seasons episodes of Dallas.  Here is that piece and a man who was one of the most amazing Country singers of all time.  Mr. Johnny Cash and When the man comes around.

One of my favorite women country singers is Linda Ronstadt. she is a rockabilly singer who mixed the best of Rock, Country and Latin.

Next up is Crystal Gayle, her voice was so gentle and yet she was one of those Country singers whom a young man had a huge crush on.

Next is Dolly Parton, a singer actress who set a new standard for years to come.    This is her singing her first big song Jolene.

Hope you enjoy this look back at Country music, I may do further ones on Country music.
