I love the line "If you don;t believe I;m leaving just count the days I'm gone". That has to be the crux of country music!

Cept it aint country. That there's western.

Edit: As far as classifications go, I guess they'd call it bluegrass today. Amplified string instruments.

Then there is the father of country music, Jimmie Rodgers

About 10 years ago I found a company in germany that had put everything that he recorded on a bunch of CDs. Still listen to them now. The Yodeling Brakeman will go on forever as long as people like pure country music.

You can't mention Bob Wills (or a whole lot of other singers) without crediting the woman who wrote a whole lot of their music: Cindy Walker
