You got me. These stories are wonderful. Insight into life as well as music and the musicians. It took time for me to appreciate the skill and talent of many country entertainers , but I learned. Your work brings back memories that were forgotten. Thank you.
Your stories are a visit to the best things that grew what we call country music. Your gift of beautiful insight and enticing wording have opened windows I never knew existed about these talented entities that may have never gotten their chance to glow with their own accomplishments. Thank you, your posts are a daily staple in my reading choices and the source of a happy heart derailed off of the garbage of current influencers. You're Da Bomb!
I found your Substack on my Substack home page. You are a very good writer and weave a very compelling and
informative narrative about Mr. Sherrill. I have watched the the documentary “Muscle Shoals” so Mr. Sherrill’s and Rick Hall’s names were familiar to me.
Though I am not a country western music listener, per se, I grew up listening to it on KROP AM, a local radio station that my Dad, who was a cowboy, listened to in his pick up truck. That was in the days of “old school country”, in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. This was in the Imperial Valley in the far SE corner of CA, on the border of AZ and Mexico (Baja CA Norte).
The beautiful thing about the USA is that we have a rich history of so many types and styles of music that are unique to our country. And on this 250th Anniversary of our country that is something we can be proud of, and honor and celebrate. 🇺🇸
We don’t deserve your brilliant essays! My arm feels pleasantly twisted to subscribe. Will do now
…eavesdropping on a conversation. That is perhaps the most precise definition of…great lyrics
I honestly can't think of "he stopped loving her today" without tearing up. It's so perfect that you never think of the production.
This piece deserves more than the one "like" I was otherwise able to give it.

Also, the best Charley Rich record ever.
This is Billy Sherrill’s masterpiece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kO7p2bpya0&list=RD8kO7p2bpya0&start_radio=1
