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.

.....gotta agree with some of the recent comments above. Ray Charles recent release (well, a year ago) of a 4 CD set on Rhino label "Ray Charles Greatest Country and Western Hits" is one of my favorite "finds" of all time. IMO, not really country, but country soul, country swing, country jazz, and my favorites-- the country ballads. This is a dynamite set in either Soul or C/W categories-- and very well recorded. Cheers. Craig

Is "Gost Riders in the Sky" sung by Miss Peggy Lee good C&W? This song has been a fix of mine since I was a little kid. I recently was able to pick it up on CD. Now all that I need are ten more box tops from Borax soap to get my twenty wagon mule train model.

Dekay; I'm broad minded enough to accept Peggy Lee's "Ghost Riders" as C/W. Along this line, I also really like Gogi Grant's "The Wayward Wind". I was a pup when these two were in their prime :>) Craig
