I like many of those songs, but for some reason, I find "Wichita Lineman" one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever - both musically and lyrically.
I agree, Mr. Jimmy. It's one of those moments where the musical arrangement and words are perfect mates.
'Don't Come Home a-Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)' by Loretta LynnOne of my favorite country tunes of all time.
Speaking of LL, I'm going to mount an online effort to get the Wilburn Bros. -- who not only published LL's early music, but also introduced her to a wide audience via their syndicated TV show in the '60s 'n' '70s -- elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Stay tuned (so to speak) ...!
