Gotta love the Bakersfield sound...

Act Naturally, also recorded by Ringo Starr.

Speaking of Bakersfield:

My favourite song, a duet with my all time musical hero Jimmy Buffett. It's 5 O'clock somewhere. Pour me something tall and strong, make it a hurricane before I go insane, it's only 12 o'clock here, but it's 5 o'clock somewhere.

thank you Jesus, thank you Lord...

Don't kick me out of the thread, but I thought I'd make it a little more piquante with some Norteno.

Carmelita was written by Warren Zevon. He recorded it in 1976, but the original recording was by Ontario's own Murray McLaughlin in 1972.

I searched The Lounge to see if there have been any general threads with C&W music posts, and couldn't find any.

I like some classic C&W, but not very much modern.

Over the next couple of nights I'm gonna post some of my favourites.

Feel free to contribute from whatever era you enjoy...

First, Canada's own Hank Snow:

What a lousy idea for a thread.

5 verses, 5 keys, the last verse is classic Cash baritone. What a talent.

I didn't know about the McLaughlin connection! Wow!
