I can't be the only one here who enjoys a little C&W now and then. Not surprisingly I like the older stuff. Jerry Jeff Walker wrote Mr. Bojangles in 1968. The song is not based on Bill "Bojangles" Robinson but on a homeless Caucasian man Jerry Jeff met in 1965 while both were in the New Orleans jail, and has been covered by Sammy Davis Jr., Bob Dylan, Chet Atkins and many others. OK, I've bored you enough. 😛

It's hard to top Hank Sr. He left us far too soon, as did Gentleman Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline and so many others.

You can't post classics without posting some Patsy Cline.

In 1966, Nashville manager and agent Jack D. Johnson got Charlie Pride a contract with RCA Records. No publicity photographs of Charlie were released in the early years of his recording career, out of the fear that white listeners of country music would reject a black country artist.

Yes indeed Zod. Great selection. 😀 Bandy the Rodeo Clown by Moe Bandy. You just don't hear Pancho and Lefty and Moe Bandy on the radio these days, unless you find an oldies station. 🙁

This one probably doesn't count... Kristofferson sort of danced around country & western conventions. Couldn't find a good copy of Duvalier's Dream, so here's Casey's Last Ride... Darby's Castle's a fave, too:

The real tragedy of this one is that country's audience, since it skews right, has largely abandoned the concerns outlined here. A lesson that patriotism and love of country, in part, also means environmental stewardship seems to have been lost on an entire half of our population in the years since then. Not only lost, even, but fought indignantly, by reflex, as if consumption and waste were American duties written into the Constitution:

Can't get much more "classic" (or dark) than an old Scottish murder ballad -- a form often adapted by early country music -- and sung by Ralph Stanley... (Though "The High Strange Drifters" still do my favorite version)

The song itself is old enough to be "classic"... It's been covered by even greats like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, but this "Crooked Still" does my favorite version:

Another strangely upbeat piece about a grisly beating and murder:
