Greatest Country Singer/ Artist (read rules)

[JTrainDavis]

My favorite Adam Carroll song is Red Bandana Blues.

I like South of Town, but I like them all, pretty much

Country music fans need to hear this story:
YouTube - John Prine : You've Never Even Called Me By My Name

 

[NochNoch]

The Texas Circuit is the Red Dirt Scene, like Robert Earl, Jerry Jeff, Corey Morrow, Adam Carroll and such.

Another guy that I usually lump in that category:

YouTube - Slaid Cleaves - Drinking Days

Also on the folksy side but that man can write a hell of a song.

YouTube - John Prine : You've Never Even Called Me By My Name

Big John Prine fan but I never knew he wrote that with Goodman until I saw him in concert last year.

Toby Keith

But Johnny Cash is the best and I don't care what your rules say because Cash wouldn't have either.

 

[volinreallife]

no particular order:

Conway twitty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7XK_zNq930
Need i say more?

Merle
Garth brooks (because my girlfriend would be mad if i didn't put him on the list)
George strait
Allan Jackson

 

[rbroyles]

If the voice is the criteria, you have to include:

Jimmie Rogers
Jim Reeves
Eddie Arnold
Charlie Pride
Conway Twitty
Charlie Rich
Don Williams
Glen Campbell
John Denver
Merle Haggard
Ronnie Millsap
Johnny Cash

I don't think George Jones or Willie Nelson have great voices. Distinctive, entertaining, but not great musically.

Big John Prine fan but I never knew he wrote that with Goodman until I saw him in concert last year.

Yeah, JP had a lot to do with the lyrical success of that song but refused to take any credit for it. I've been a Prine fan longer than most on this board have been alive.
