Re: IMO, Country Music Died in 1980 . . .
And Jerry Reed is a killer on a steel guitar (listen to his rendition of Jiffy-Jam).
I can recall his appearance on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and he did his new hit, Amos Moses. He was new, so he didn't get to sit and talk, but that bit of a backwater bayou song rocked.
Dolly blows me away every time, and Charo playing classical Spanish guitar. Willie, Waylon and the Gang.
The talent is till out there, but they've gone to semi-retirement, enjoying life and success too much to offend the new kids stumbling around on the block.
But that's history,
