You know, Country & Western!

This ain't your Dad's country music. It's your Granddad's! None of that new Nashville bullshit either. This is where you'll find what I consider the best in Country (Classic and Alt), Folk, and Americana.

Ralph Stanley - Henry Lee

I was expecting Nick Cave, but didn’t know this was a traditional murder ballad first. Very good. 

The Stanley Brothers - In The Pines (embedding disabled - who still DOES that?! worth a watch anyway)

Happy 85th to Dr. Ralph Stanley

And are you really a Dr. if it’s an honorary?

Ralph Stanley Tom T. Hall are among the Southern songsters that didn’t quite make the cut for this week’s show. Also, we want to wish a happy birthday to Tom, who turned 75 76 today.

Happy Birthday Tom.
