^ah yes. The singer who can't sing but only yell during songs.

2/25/2009 7:41:40 AM

Are Randy Travis and George Strait considered classic? Whatever they are, both are very good singers.

2/25/2009 7:44:08 AM

I wouldn't consider them classic.

I would consider them two of the greatest, and two of my favorite, artists, but not classic - to me classic is pre 80's mostly.

Thanks Christine.


I'll assume you already own some Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Hank Sr. That being said, these aren't necessarily "classic" but I still recommend:

- Robert Earl Keen
- John Prine
- Jerry Reed
- Guy Clark
- Wayne Hancock

2/25/2009 8:09:40 AM

Chris Ledoux
Glen Campbell

2/25/2009 8:16:21 AM

Second the John Prine

Don Williams, he's great and you will probably recognize most of the songs
Check out:
It Must Be Love Again
Tulsa Time
Some Broken Hearts Will Never Mend


Also Waylon Jennings

"Roadhog" Moran & The Cadillac Cowboys

2/25/2009 1:42:32 PM

Jaybee, are you saying NO to Chris Ledoux for the fact that he's not a "classic country singer" or because you don't like his music?

2/25/2009 1:48:33 PM

geez peoples, Hank Williams

2/25/2009 1:49:43 PM

^^i would say no to chris ledoux for both reasons. he sucks.

2/25/2009 1:50:13 PM

^^hank williams was assumed. see mid thread. along with J.Cash and W.Nelson.




^fair enough. He's not my favorite either. My brother on the other hand absolutely loves him. So i've always had a steady stream of Chris Ledoux in my life for as long as i can remember.

hank iii, i though he went to like punk rock now?

2/25/2009 2:00:04 PM

Ive picked up the nitty gritty band, some of their songs are just instrumentals but they are kind of a mix between blue grass a folk style mixed with country...

2/25/2009 2:00:42 PM

He has plenty of real country songs.

2/25/2009 2:01:06 PM

id put jr. over him

2/25/2009 2:01:34 PM

Then you're a pole smoker.

your nuts if you think jr is more country than III.



[Edited on February 25, 2009 at 2:05 PM. Reason : ]

2/25/2009 2:02:30 PM

jr. is more classic, the thread said classic, III isn't old enough to be classic

2/25/2009 2:07:16 PM

that's more where i was coming from with the

2/25/2009 2:08:46 PM

actually...before his accident...Jr. was VERY classic country


much different from the outlaw/"young" country thing that came about in the 80s


back in the 70s he was a smooth crooner...sorta like his dad

[Edited on February 25, 2009 at 2:45 PM. Reason : i missed a word...i don't know anything about III]

2/25/2009 2:39:36 PM
