I've gone through several phases when I've listened to more Country
music than Rock music. I've listened to more Bob Wills & His Texas
Playboys, Hank Williams & Dwight Yoakam than anyone else. Overall, I
probably favor Honky Tonk from the 40's through the 60's. Ray Price
has a great voice and recorded some fine, fine songs too.
