re: #75 William Barnett-Lewis

Hank Sr., Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Glenn Campbell, Tom T. Hall, Willie Nelson, maybe a couple of others. I grew up hearing it but there’s very little of it worth actually listening to.

I was humorously surprised the other day to realize I have more hip-hop acts in my music library than I do country acts… ;)

Yeah, I grew up with country music all around me, but most of it. Ugh. The other day I got into a taxi and the Haitian driver was listening to country music, one of those God-awful mawkish numbers about “daddy”. With a few exceptions, most of the stuff I like is pretty old as I only hear new stuff by accident.¹
