The wife had the tube on the Music choice station when Merle Haggard come on. I said to my son "He's revered. Gotta be on the Mount Rushmore of Country Music." That of course, begged the question--who else. We finally settled on Haggard, Cash, Hank Williams Sr., and Dolly. My wife is more of a country fan than I am, but I think there's a lot of candidates for that forth spot! What about Jones? Waylon? Strait? (Conway?  ) Hank Jr? Who is your pick? I think the battle between influence and personal favs makes it hard. There are many considerations---hits, songwriting, influence. |

I think if you're talking pioneers and legends you have to have some representation from the 90s artists. Diffy, Kershaw, Brooks, Gill, etc

I'll go with Strait, Brooks, Jones, Jackson.
Just my opinion.
I've seen Brooks, Strait, and Time McGraw (3x) in concert. Could not ask for more for the money. I'd pay 2x the $ to see a full George Strait concert again.
Why are the likes of Walker Hayes, Sam Hunt, etc.. considered country artists? Maybe I'm just a grumpy old fart.

McGraw is on my do not see/listen list, but we’ve seen strait twice and he puts on a good classic country show. I don’t mind the newer country really, although it’s nothing like old classic stuff. We just saw Chris Jansen and he put on one heckuva show. We saw mark chestnut a few years ago and he puts on a great show as well. Little honky tonk country attitude that just jams the night away.

Yes, Mark Chesnutt is one of the greats as well. I know, McGraw has an attitude towards guns and politics that are not welcome with most of us here. However, as I have said many times, I stopped choosing my sources of entertainment based on politics. If I did, may as well throw the TV away never turn the radio on. Tim and Faith do put on a great show that is 100% family friendly. Our daughters went with us twice. |

Conway and George Jones, I shed a tear when they both passed. George's "Who's Going To Fill Their Shoe's" sure rings true.

I saw Brad Paisley and he puts on a very good show. Just not that country enough to me. But what is not to like about CHECKING FOR TICKS
Saw Willy and Toby Keith too. I was diapointed with Willy that night. As we were leaving the wife comented she would like a ride in one of the limos. I told I would ride in the Honeysuckle Rose.
Saw Toby at Klisch when he came out drunk then got drunker. I thought we should have got a refund that night.
