Not telling, he was covered far, far more than he ever got recognition.
That's the thing about country musicians, the people that cover them get all the glory, not the musicians themselves.
>>64191756
>Not telling
Seriously, who?
>>64191756
I'll only give you a hint, Texas country musician.

Getting warmer but no, most of /mu/ knows TVZ.
He's actually close the the quality of TVZ on some of this songs.

>>64192001
i know right i love those videos, especially that dancing one with pete seeger
the violinist on that same video is clayton McMichen who played in this band the skillet lickers , this song is 1927 i believe, that dancing one is 1964 he still had skills

That's awesome.
What else is crazy, is that from 1927 the Civil War was only 62 years before.
That's 1954 for us today. WWII is farther away from us than the Civil War was for them. Damn.

Very. Really kind of puts things in perspective...or something. Just kind of mindblowing.
Here, enjoy this, a Civil War vet singing in 1927. Incredible lyrics. And pic related are Gettysburg veterans at the battlefield in I think 1913.

If I were to listen to his music, which album would you recommend?

I don't think he's made all that many good albums, but I have listened to his recent ones.
He is a very good songwriter, regardless.

How did shit like George Strait and Rascal Flats even get popular? God, I don't get how anyone can stomach that garbage.
>>64195762
George Strait is nowhere near as bad as some of his contemporaries.
He's actually been recording since 1976.

george strait is actually better when it comes to that era of country

There's a song on the new Sturgill Simpson album that sound like an old Dwight song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJSNboEfpv0
sounds like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6CVfWdn5G8
I guess it's no huge deal since the Dwight song sounds like a lost jukebox gem from the '50's as well. Those old, overused melodies are all up for grab, you know? Nobody knows who used it first.
