George Jones has the best sad songs.

Also one of the best voices in country or any other genre.

They do a couple good covers, they've done "I've Been Everywhere" and even better was "Let it Roll" with BTO.
Lead singer Jason McCoy was a DJ on my local country station, I think he quit because they are on tour again.
They are also my favourite for long drives.

Another local station has a weekly program called the Canadian Country Music Spotlight, they play an emerging artist album each week then interview them. Kinda hit and miss, lots of people want to produce what will sell.

I highly recommend reading his autobiography because the man's dug history is legendary. He also claims the "mob" would force him to snort coke so he'd get too hosed up to perform. He would "no show" and they would collect the insurance money.

You are absolutely right.
I could go on about Corb Lund and any song. He works with some great people and produces great music. From his newest album:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sd7B10f1X8

First time I heard this song was on a local station classic country 107.3. They play a lot of old country music so its all I listen too, but the station broadcasts with some outdated equipment so it almost sounds like an AM station. makes old country even better.

There's no way Corb Lund is a real person's name. Uh-uh. It's impossible.

William Elliot Whitmore is what I listen to when I hit wood with sharp things. Radio country is garbage listened to by feces people with rear end faces.

Is that the name of the protools file they pass around to ensure that every song sounds the same?

I'm going to kill myself if she ever makes a cameo in a video.

Thailand has its own country music but it sounds nothing like American country, so it is not weird/bad. In fact it is cool/good.
