| I'm not a fan of today's so-called country music, but my dad used to listen to the heavy duty C&W artists back in the sixties, especially the hard-core honky-tonk cats, so I picked up a bit of appreciation for guys like Buck Owens. And even though he did "Hee Haw", he never became a country music joke. Buck may be gone, but Dwight Yoakam's there to carry on. |
