i too feel sad when i find my american friend say they haven't heard of such music , i love country music and feel it as a part of USA soul , those songs does have the american soul which i hardly find today .

I'm 18 and not an american but still admirer of such great soul music .

Guys do something to show such great songs to present genere , they really dont know their own land n that's very bad .

Saw Ernest Tubb in a dance hall in central Texas back in 1980. Man those were the days and this is classic country music.

This made me cry. I love Mr. Tubbs and the Texas Troubadors. I miss him.

You nailed it with the word "soul". I always get a skeptical look when I compare a lot of the great classic country tunes to soul music. However, listening to a soulful ballad like this, it seems remarkably similar in underlying feel to works by great soul musicians like Ray Charles, Solomon Burke, and Sam Cooke, all of whom were fans of classic country music BTW. Too bad today's country has all the soul of a plastic fork.

I'd gladly take the music of yesteryear over the crap that's being churned out of Madison Ave. today.

thank god country music isn't like it use to be really... you know when any non talented guitar picker would be famous.

[CounterCultureLives]

Love it. This is back when country music was really country music.
