Top this for vintage country music

Show these young bucks some good stuff. Bob Wills though is still the King. Carter scratch just does something positive for your soul.

Here’s one of my favorites

I had that album.

Ernest Tubb...enough said!

^^^^^

Yep, even Waylon knew that. And said so...........

Vintage is just another term for rustic or old.

This song is probably the 1st country song I can remember, way back in the early 60`s when I was just a pup. I`m not a fan of the old country, but I do like listening to Hank sing it.

Smoke on the Water

My favorite thread of the day

This and anything from the Possum.

What do y’all think of this really oldlie?

This was started yesterday at 0630 and I’m the first to post Merle? Come on fellas.

Mighty Merle is a gimme!

Patsy Cline

Hank Williams SR

Some oldies that floated around west Texas.

Slim Willet
Dean Beard
Hoyle NIx

Big Balls in Cowtown!

How about some Curtis Potter around those parts

Merle is great but this is about older music than that video.

It would not be complete without some Kitty Wells. This was a controversial song.

Our daughters MIL is Stonewall Jacksons sister. Never met him myself but daughter says he was a nice guy.

Great thread.

Back in the 90's I heard Waylon give an interview on the radio, KSCS maybe. Anyway he talked about that song and said he never liked Bob Wills, said the only reason he wrote it was because he was pissed off at Willie. That would make sense "It don't matter who's in Austin..."

That being said I like Bob WIlls music a lot, and Willie, and Waylon.

Another old one.

We need a waltz.

Good one TurkeyHunter.

Another good one especially if you're from Lewisville.

Need at least one from the Father of country music.

Pure vintage greatness - Sons of the Pioneers

Clay Blaker

Some really good stuff here folks. Thanks.

I guess this don't exactly qualify as vintage, but I hope folks will agree this belongs as honorary vintage:

Thanks for posting this I saw Doc Watson in concert as a kid.

Thanks for all the great contributions. That's awesome music!

Cannot imbed video

Jerry Lee Lewis and Mickey Gilley live July 3 1982 at GILLEY'S TX

classic

Awesome pics of pioneers and hardscrabble life in this video...

You youngins probibly don't know about this cowpoke.
He was playin music while ure daddy was learnin to walk.

But if you like git-tar music he was one of the best.

So crank the volume, lean back and close your eyes and let Smily Bates massage your soul.



Or we could go a bit further back and listen to the King of the Twalve String gittar. Simply called Leadbelly.


If you'd rather listen to a more familiar name in music you could try this one.

Not well known but it has everything you could want in a vintage honky tonk song

Late to the party.

How about some bluegrass.....

I'll admit I didn't know about James Hand until last year when Charlie Crockett released an album dedicated to him. All I know is two things... this is honky tonk gold and there has to be hundreds if not thousands of talented singers and song writers out there you've never heard of cuz of one reason or another they never hit it big time.

Right on
