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.
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.
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.
