Send a text I'm pretty sure that almost every aspiring country artist has been influenced at some point in their career by the already established stars . Whether your just starting out or theirs a "trend" of a particular sound, we all just try to fit in or, maybe do something a little different  to make a difference. It's a lot easier if you have a unique recognizable voice, b...

Send a text There was a time in our radio music history when the "Stars" of radio were hard pressed to find new material. New York ultimately was not the answer. Of course people were clamouring for something new every week. Where did the artists finally turn to?  You guessed it my friends. Country was the answer for taking the "POP" stars to a whole new level. You will be surp...

So,,,,, I put together ROGER MILLER, RAY STEVENS, LONZO and OSCAR, and even JOHNNY CASH. And Johnny,  in my opinion, sings one of the funniest songs he's ever done. I think you'll smile when you hear the...

Send a text Its not always a question of who wrote it. Tdays songs were written and performed by multiple artists like  FARON YOUNG, HANK WILLIAMS,and ROY DRUSKY to name a few.
