I like the old school outlaw country singers like Waylon Jennings, David Allen Coe, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams Jr and Johnny Cash. I have to admit to not being a huge fan of Willie Nelson though. As was already stated, much of country music from that era was well recorded and produced. Also, a lot of it is, more or less, unadorned with little processing. Maybe some eq leveling but nothing dramatic.
Years ago, I had heard existence of a duo album by George Jones and Glenn Campbell, together. They were both at a rock bottom period in their lives, at that time. Luckily they recovered. I have launched search, though never found any pertaining information. Anyone know??
Also...just found Charlie Daniels 'Fire on the mtn' recorded at capricorn...immaculate recording...impassioned performance
Waylon Jennings' 'Dreaming My Dreams' is a really terrific record. Not sure about the SQ, but there are a bunch of killer songs on it. The opener, "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way" is a favorite -- great lyrics.
