I can't get into "El Paso", but Mr. Murphy did also record several other Marty Robbins song I do like... "Big Iron", for example. I practically wore out the paper with the historical notes. Oh, and "Strawberry Roan"...

Lyrics could be understood (and sung along with). These days, even though I listen a good deal of time to the country station, I can't always tell who's singing until the DJ tells me.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850745429509147652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375883121749958694.post-24019584067370472312009-04-14T07:37:00.000-06:002009-04-14T07:37:00.000-06:00I agree w/ Jason M...

Most of the country music I like was made before I was born, or at least when I was a young'un. Out of the more current performers, I like Ian Tyson and Dave Stamey best. Chris LeDoux is good, too. Garth Brooks' first two albums were made of awesome, but then he changed his sound and got too pop for me.misbeHavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006570991590468007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375883121749958694.post-61376313835717368622009-04-11T23:35:00.000-06:002009-04-11T23:35:00.000-06:00I like country music because it tells a story and ...I like country music because it tells a story and the songs are SINGABLE.
