I think artists such as: George Strait, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, Gene Watson, Keith Whitley, Charlie Pride, Barbara Mandrell, have all done a pretty good job of filling there shoes. They have kept there music country and have stayed to there country roots. No rock & roll distortion guitars and drums, or trying to add rap in to there music like some of these new artists. That just makes me sick to see them do that!!!
what about gene watson, ricky van shelton or ricky scaggs, but what the heck, all the greats will live on long after they depart. There will never be another merle, thats for sure. We have no country radio in nz so rely on good old u tube. Thanks utube, and postings.
@mandiwms78 tracey lawrence,oak ridge boys,pam tillis,charlie danials,Reba,lil jimmy dickens,just adding names country is about God,America,Freedom,family,and choices oh and miss patsy cline
Mark Chesnett, Tracy Byrd, Tracy Lawrence, Josh Turner, Joe Diffie, King George (Strait) Sammy Kirshaw, Easton Corbin, Clay Walker, Jamey Johnson, sometimes Trace Adkins
Mark Chesnut, Daryl Singletary, Brad Paisley etc should be taken out of this video. They sure as shit aint the performers George is singing about. They're actually the type hes singing against. As for Roger Wallace, Billy Don Burns, Dwight Yoakam and Dale Watson etc, good call!
Last night I saw Billy Don Burns perform at a club in Nashville. This guy only sings songs that he writes. His songs were some of the greatest I had ever heard. Some of his songs have been recorded by Willy Nelson and Johnny Paycheck. This guy is a great act!!
Some of the guys showed qualify but thats it. The rest will never be LEGENDS. I don't think it's too hard to see which of the ones shown will not fill there shoes and which coujldn't even shine their shoes!
Not sure which ones your talking about. Dale Watson is a legend in Austin now. Billy Don Burns cd knocked his idol Johnny Cash out of number one on the Americana charts.
The ones I picked tear my heart out when they sing
This is a great video.....TY...I can remember growing up and hearing a lot of the older country and there are some good songs out there now but its going to be hard today for anyone to fill some of their shoes
Damn i just found our Vern passed;;;;;;;damn what a loss!!!!! i remember answering the phone at my Nana's ahd hearing that voice singing
"Is it raining at your house" ...........wow he will be missed! TO some he wasn't much but to me he was country!! Thanks Vern tor all the memories!! Set em' Joe!!!
idk about brad paisley but i agree with most of the people you picked "to fill the shoes" although i dont think anyone would, i liked hank3 being up there.... hank 3 is awesome man..
benedictlg your right if u have money your good if not you,ll never get the chance its a shame you know for some people to think that way isn,t it the way i see it is IF you got your health and strenght the hell with the money
Most of the new people you post who're gonna "fill their shoes" aren't able to SHINE their shoes! (I always find it ironic that the great George Jones asks who's gonna fill "their" shoes...when he certainly should include HIS shoes, too!)
Judge my sound for yourselves... I can take the truth. A lot of people don't give any new comers half a chance to prove themselves. It's all about money now days. That's what happen to music in general. If you don't have the money to promote yourself, what chance do you have. Their are still a lot of great real country singers out there... you just never hear of them because the people who have money are the ones who are heard.
Just wanna say very cool vid. Its nice to see people who still enjoy good county music,like the people u put on.Great job on puttin Dale Watson in the vid. He's a hell of a singer and hell of a guy,very good frind of ours.great job!!
i agree with that but i dont i mean goerges shoes would be hard to fill but yes the only person i could see filling them is Alan..but we dont want any one filling his shoes.lol.
wtf, I just finished watching it and its not the whole song!! Its good, but you should redo it with the whole song, because there are WAY more country artists than that
There are only four of them who could hold a candle to the GREATS, Kieth Whitley, Kevin Sharp, Chris Ledoux, and Rodney Atkins. Three of them left this world way to soon. Thank you for posting this song, it rought back sooooo many memories.
