  • @1950sRockabilly It was the the singes of 90's and 2000 that actually killed country. Now it is all pop crap

  • If I wanted to hear a symphony, I could listen to classical music; but that is not the kind of music to which I care to listen. I grew up in rural america as did many of the earlier stars, including Eddy Arnold, Jim Reeves and Ray Price. I understand one has to earn a living, so these sold out country music at the urging of Chet Atkins, Owen Bradley and Ken Nelson. In a book I own concerning the history of country music, Chet Atkins accepted responsibility for his part in this regard.

  • Gives a better understanding of the transition to the Nashville sound which could be considered ballad style of music which countered the Rock of the 60,s on. The Nashville Sound is real and cultural and identifies the true values of life.

  • It disgust me to see how people like Eddy Arnold, Jim Reeves and Ray Price killed Country music just for money. Because of them i dont listen to Country music after 1956.

  • Eddy Arnold is a whore....There are a thousand good boys who are far better than he , But did not sell out.

    Look at the TEXAS circuit...I dont buy this crap...Saving Country? Not one of these people have that much power. What they wanted was CONTROL..At any cost....Shame on them...Coming up tho..Willie and Waylon gave them a black eye...LOL

    God Bless from TEXAS

  • Nuts to both of you. Neither one of you sound sure of what you like; which means a suspicion that you haven't really listened to those Nashville years at all, except in snippets. Yes, there was some slop and missteps, as in all periods; but I'll match the better work of producers Chet Atkins, Owen Bradley, Fred Foster among others, as well as additional artists doing some of their best work at the time like Webb Pierce and Willie Nelson against anything hardcore honky tonk has to offer.

  • @IGOROZKARSKY I like some of the songs from that era, but for the most part, "The Nashville Sound" sounds, well, awful to me.

  • "DANNY BOY" is one of my favorite songs

    & Ray Price´s version of it, is my favorite.

    But most of this "Nashville sound" stuff,

    tho´ good I can live without, if you know what

    I mean.
