Hey Jim,

You can sure hear the blues in that opening figure he does in Arkansas.

Country has evolved over the years. I think those guys are pretty smart. As rock sort of lost a bit of steam the country guys said "hey, lets steal this rock stuff and add a little peddle steel and call it country"...lol

Three chord rock not so well hidden behind the country twang with a little blues added in for good measure.

No matter...I never get tired listening to songs about trucks, mud, beer, and good lookin women. What's not to like?

Well, you need to be pretty tall to stand up to the likes of George Jones.

I listen to Chris sing "Tennessee Whiskey" at "Farm Aid". I thought he did a good job, he is no George Jones or George Strait but I like him just like he is.

Everyone knows I can't sing but put me in the tubes in London and let me sing "All My X's Live in Texas" and I will do allright...lol

THe vocal may be out of tune and out of time but it will be the real thing from Texas...lol

“Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig?
“Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”
