    Yeah Whitley is a pretty legendary dude with a helluva crazy life. Great great singer. He was one of the last of the old breed of really hard partying crazy country singers before it went Glam.

    I wanna drink that shot of whiskey
    I wanna smoke that cigarette
    I wanna smell that sweet addiction on my breath
    I wanna ride across West Virginia in the backseat of a Cadillac
    You know some cowboys like me go out like that
    So I need you

    He never did much for me. After the early 80's, most country doesn't do it for me. It's not till the alt country genre starts in the mid to late 90s, that I regain my interest in a big way.

    Lori Morgan broke his heart so he drank himself to death. What a fucking pussy.

    Truth is he was an epic alcoholic (legendary levels of drinking) before he met Lori. She was actually trying to get him off the booze but he was one of those tortured souls who was determined to kill himself in the bottle. But yeah she's still sort of a bitch I heard. Hot though. Late 80's Lorrie was top shelf.


    Since when have we? been concerned about the the truth around here?

    The 80s for me really about three artists. George Straight returning country to a more rootsier feel, Dwight Yoakum really kicking the Bakersfield sound back, and Keith Whitley and that voice. People forget country was starting to glam up in the 80's pre Garth. People forget that. Also, I know I shouldn't, but I love me some Gambler. Almost forgot Hank Jr and Alabama. Good 80's shit.

    Rock and roll died somewhere along the lines of when country music became main stream - Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Sugarland, etc replaced the rock and roll bands.

    Nothing beats good old fashioned country or alt- country if you like, but the newer country is 10 times better than what they (whoever they are) call rock and roll.

    Nothing worse than trying to drive the USA listening to crap Sirius XM plays without listening to old and early 2000's country
    Sirius XM also only has a list of 300 songs a week so repeat repeat repeat

    Edit: I wondered what happened to this guy - he is good, well was
