C/W music Audiogon members

Are there ANY Agon members that like SOME country/western music besides me? I have fair collections of J. Cash, Emmylou Harris (not purely C/W I know), G. Jones, Merle Haggard, Don Williams, Linda Ronstadt (early especially), the Judds, Hank Williams Jr., and some others. Some of this music is very well recorded, and the voices great/unique. Also, is it true that if you play a C/W CD backwards that (1) the guy's dog comes back to life (2) he gets his pick-up truck back (3) quits drinking, (4) gets out of prison, and (5) gets his woman back :>) BTW, we won't see Albert Porter on THIS thread. Cheers. Craig.

i hope we don't all lose our memberships;everybody comming out of the closet like this.I always thought CW and audiophile was an oxymoron. Actually the one thing I am suprised most by is the # of mentions for my favorite: Emmylou. And don't forget the duo/w/Linda. Yes,Geo Jones and Don Williams the greatest pure male voices. EEEhaw!!!

I like almost all kinds of music including some of the C/W scene. However, it is pretty much limited to Johnny Cash, Rosanne Cash, Linda Rondstant, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams Jr., Nanci Griffith and Martina McBride. Do you think Les Paul and Mary Ford could count? How about Chet Atkins?

Way2go,Albert,another; out of the closet. Chet the jet/fastest guitar in the west.(keep an eye on those fingers if you can)def.C&W And Les,besides his contribution to the making of/ and the multi tracking,yep I'd say the music;"How High the Moon" and "The World is Waiting For the Sunrise"/and most everything they did was more CW than some of todaysCW/ altho back then it was just "popular" Anyone;listen to "Boulder to Bermingham"by Emmylou.Maybe add a vocalist to you CW list Albert.

Do the New Riders Of The Purple Sage qualify as "country"?

Reminds me of the old exchange. QUESTION: What kind of music do you like? ANSWER: Both kinds. Country and Western. YeeeHaaaw!

I also like David Allen Coe, Graham Parsons/Burrito Brothers, Jerry Jeff Walker, Kinky Friedman And His Texas Jewboys, and James Intveld (how'd he get in there being so damn young?).
