  1. Why does Willie have two birthdays?

    Willie was born in 1933 in Abbott, Texas, a small town about 25 miles north of Waco. His actual birthday is April 29, but, because he was born so late at night, the country clerk wasn't able to record it. So, on paper, his birthday is April 30. #willienelson #birthday #countrymusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #country #classiccountry

  2. This Time

    The current standard-bearer of the Bakersfield Sound releases his fifth album on March 23, 1993. It ends up being Dwight Yoakam's best-selling album to date -- triple platinum. The album peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. And, in my book, "Ain't The Lonely Yet" ranks right up there with the other greatest country songs of all time. #dwightyoakam #thistime #country #classiccountry #bakersfieldsound #cowpunk #honkytonk #music #musicsky

  3. My algorithm suddenly started suggesting a lot of Steely Dan. Which I love Steely Dan, but not mixed in with my Gordon Lightfoot playlist.

  4. Rock my world, drag me out on the floor
    Dance with me 'til I can't dance anymore
    One-step, two-step, get in a line
    I gotta find a way to make you mine
    Rock my world, woo!

  5. Hey well, everybody'd like to have what I've got
    I can cool 'em down when they're smolderin' hot
    I'm the fireman, that's my name
    They call me the fireman, that's my name.

  6. 3rd year #Introduction.
    My name is Marie, but I go by Mar. I live in the desert with my husband and my senior rescue horse Rio. I enjoy being on #Mastodon for the various accounts such as #Artist #Photographer #Music and #Humor and #Animals. I post quite a bit about my horse, music, my life and I attempt humor. I boost anything that I enjoy. I love a variety of music but mostly #70s, #80s and #ClassicCountry. I do not put up with bullying (luckily there very little of it here). I try to be kind but at times I have to let it rip.

  7. Strangers

    The Hagg releases his debut studio album on September 27, 1965 ... it became his first national Top 10 record after its release in November 1964. The single helped launch his career and showcased his signature sound. Listen to Strangers by Merle Haggard on Amazon Music ... #60scountry #merlehaggard #strangers #country #classiccountry #music #musicsky #musiciansky

  8. There's an old flame burnin' in your eyes
    That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise
    Now that old flame might not be stronger
    But it's been burnin' longer
    Than any spark I might have started in your eyes.

  9. The Voice

    b. September 8, 1932.  Known for her contralto voice and for becoming one of country music's first crossover stars. A pioneering figure for women in music, her influential career was cut short by a plane crash in 1963. Simply .. one of the greats.

  10. “Real country – plain and simple.”

    George Strait releases his debut album on September 4, 1981. The record launched his legendary career and many call it a key album in the neo-traditional country movement that countered the pop-country trends of the time. George came 'round just in time.

  11. Branded Man

    Released on August 28, 1967, it's #484 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. It's The Hagg's 4th album and the first of four-straight number one albums. The Strangers delivered a polished and tight performance, with Ralph Mooney's distinctive pedal steel guitar work standing out as usual.  Listen to Branded Man by Merle Haggard and The Strangers on Amazon Music .. #merlehaggard #thehagg #60scountry #brandedman #classiccountry #music #musicsky

  12. Need a break from the news? Want to listen to something new? For free?

    Here's the deal: I want to give away some Bandcamp downloads of my recently released album Leaving Can't Be Wrong. It's my take on classic country (think pre-1980 classic) and I'd love to spread it around more than I have been. All you need to do is go to the link below and then enter one of the codes. If the code you choose doesn't work, pick another.

    All I ask is that you reply here when you've downloaded the album. When these five are gone, I'll add another five codes if there seems to be interest.

  16. I promise not to do this all the time, but I'd be grateful if you'd take the time to check out my new album, either on my website (www.adammoemusic.com/shop) or at Bandcamp (adammoemusic.bandcamp.com/albu) before it gets widely released in about a week. You can play it three times on Bandcamp before you buy, and I'd love to hear your thoughts. It's a classic country sound, so be aware.

    Promotion is a weird world for me. Honestly, it's like making the music was the easy part. Now I have to convince people spend valuable time listening to it!

    I'd appreciate any boosting and sharing! Thank you!

  19. #goodmorningeveryone from this cold corner of the world. #nowplaying #thecadillacthree ain't that country. Hell of an earworm tune. If ya dig some #classiccountry sound, check it out.

  20. I need friends who don't pay their bills on home computers,
    and they buy their coffee beans already ground.
    Well you think it's disgraceful that they drink three dollar wine,
    but a better class of loser suits me fine.

  21. I'll bet fifteen-year-old Gram Parsons was a-sitting at home watchin' this on TV and thinking: "*some day ah'm a-gonna have a band like that! Yes, sir!*".
