Love country music and do start back in the 20's with Jimmie Rodgers, The Carter Family. Bob Wills in the 30's, along with Ernest Tubb,
Prince Albert Hunt***, Gene Autry, Patsy Montana, Milton Brown, the amazing Darby & Tarlton, The Skillet Lickers, Dock Boggs B,F.Shelton all must listens if talking the history of country music.
Obviously ya can't talk country and not talk Hank Wiliams. He is in my opinion on that Mount Rushmore of American music, his songs as good as it can get.
Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty, Merle Haggard, Patsy Cline, great stuff.
One of my favorites.
