Country music needs to become country/western again

I haven't listened to too much C&M music through the years but listen sometimes, often the older stuff but have listened to the new and see what you mean.


Ever heard of Joey&Rory? type them up and see if you have find anything on them.

They also have a show on RFD-TV.


Also check out this lady.

We need more songs like GUITARS And CADILLACS; CRAZY; FADED LOVE; WABASH CANNON BALL; CITY LIGHTS, and the ultimate Honky Tonk song, PICK ME UP ON YOUR WAY DOWN

Some good ol' Blue Grass songs like RANK STRANGER and LOVE, PLEASE COME HOME shor wouldn't hurt either...

Or some of that old Western Swing- Bob Wills style.

..Don't matter who's in Austin, Bob Wills is still the King!

p.s. Anyone remember the name of the bar next to the OPRY (in Printers Alley)?.
I believe it had a woman's name; ol' Ernest Tubb could be seen there on Opry nights.

I believe the name of the bar in which your asking about was Tootsie's Orchard Lounge and the lady kept people in check with her hat pin.I think it was Charley Pride that said that in his book or could have been Ralph Emery.Many singers and songwriters frequented the place over the years.Hope this helps.

PS heres the link and Charley Pride gave her the pin its in the legacy section of their website.http://www.tootsies.net/main_subpage.php?pg=theLegacy

Yes, TOOTSIES ORCHID. Printer's Alley; dats when we had *real Country.
