Faron has been my hero forever. One of the best country singers and showman of all time. Wish he was still here.

You can read about Faron's life and death in "Live Fast, Love Hard: The Faron Young Story." His suicide was a consequence of his severe depression.

Faron was Great in the Golden Age of Country Music. He will always be a Country Music Legend to me. Todays Country is Bubblegum Drugstore Cowboy B/S. George Strait and Alan Jackson are the only ones left. The last to leave Nashville, please turn out the Lights.

Virtually veryone slicked up their sound in The 1960's My Friend & "Murder on Music Row" is referring to the garbage of today NOT The Nashville Sound of the late 50's through 1960's. Songs like "Hello Walls" are obviously the more modern/slash less hillbilly of the era but Faron never strayed too far from his country roots. Aside from that he was the most gifted singer of his or any era in my opinion & calling him a murder of country music is an insult to a legend & quite frankly ridiculous.

[LillithCarmichael]

Faron had to be in his early twenties if that when this video was taped. He has just a touch of Hank Williams draw but makes the music his own. They will never be another like him love his music.

(continued) as original as Hank, Lefty, Webb (even though Pierce was a thief @ times..making songwriters give him writing credit so he'd sing their songs), Ernest Tubb, etc. He Could pour emotion into a song like no other though. You're right too, that he kept it country. He dipped into Nashville Sound a bit, but never got lost in it. I agree, Nashville kind of killed country in the 50's. Replacing steel w/ strings, fiddle to violin sound. etc. Cramer's "Slip note" style was a positive though.
