I'm starting to get back into classic country again. I know it's not really Hubski's thing, so I'll just post one of my favorite songs. One year I made it my New Year's resolution to learn the lyrics to this song by heart. I never got around to it, but that's okay. God knows I could never sing it as well as Marty Robbins.

Marty Robbins is the shit. I think you'd be surprised by the number of people 'round here that ain't got nuthin' bad to say about country music.

Yeah, if you separate country music from Nashville country music

Actually, you're right. I've had some pretty decent feedback when I made this thread . . .

I kind of figure though, with all the talks about The Beatles and modern Hip Hop and what have you, sometimes I feel a bit like an odd man out.

As for Marty Robbins? Man, I just absolutely love his ballads. They're like bedtime stories set to music. He's not my favorite classic country singer, but El Paso is by far my favorite classic country song.

Have you heard Lydia Loveless? She reminds me of early Neko Case

I absolutely love Lydia Loveless. Her label, Bloodshot Records has a ton of amazing artists. Justin Townes Earle and Scott H. Biram are two other really amazing country acts on the same label.

Edit: I just checked out their artist page, and it looks like Neko Case is on the label too.
