Time to download some songs tonight.

RIP to a fabulous talent. :(

"Set 'Em Up Joe" is a great song.

 

[Double J]

Indeed. He wrote and released some marvelous records.

RIP Vern. :(

 

[Ronnie "Z-Man" Barzell]

The album that he recorded with Gene Clark is one of my favorites.

RIP

Wow, he was still charting singles at age 59. Only in country.

 

[Double J]

Not at all unique in country, either. George Strait turns 57 this year and is not only still charting, he's still going to No. 1.

Wow, I had no idea Gosdin was from Woodland, Ala.

 

[Gues#t]

His upbeat version of "Way Down Deep", with Ricky Skaggs doing the background vocals, will shiver your timbers.

Wow, I had no idea Gosdin was from Woodland, Ala.

Woodland, Alabama doesn't advertise that fact? I guess they have too much else going on.
