Slim Whitman was more popular in Europe than he was in this country. I'm not sure why that was, but there you have it. He passed less than a year ago, by the way. Don't think I heard anything about it in the news.
This is purportedly his first single, "Casting My Lasso Towards the Sky." I haven't confirmed that, but it's early yet.

I know what they said about George Bush and where they said it, and I don't approve. As former military, I support and will defend their right to say it. Besides, I wonder if all the people who slammed the Dixie Chicks have second thoughts, given the successor to W and the apology tour he went on, slamming all Americans.
They do make some great music and I hope they've had second thoughts about what they said and especially where they said it. You don't run down your relatives to strangers.

This is probably one of the most manic versions of "Orange Blossom Special" out there, featuring the Ragin' Cajun his self, Doug Kershaw, along with Leon Russell and a cast of stars at an early Willie Nelson Picnic in Texas. Between the heat, the humidity, the drinking and the drugs, it's hard to say who's more loaded: the audience or the performers.

"Cutest Country Chicks."
I'd agree with that!
Including Jean Shepherd, who was the real Queen of Country & Western, Lorrie Collins, who was more rockabilly and in one of the only solo appearances I've ever seen, a very young Brenda Lee, Wanda Jackson...in short, many of the icons of classic country.

Definitely going old school, and with something a little different from one of the famous Carter family, Anita, daughter of Mother Maybelle and Ezra Carter. Ezra was AP Carter's brother, and Maybelle was AP's wife's cousin. Together, with AP and Sara's daughters, they made up the now famous Carter Family.
Anita Carter probably as famous, if not more so, than her sisters June and Helen, though Helen plays the guitar in the same manner her mother did, and sounds a lot like Mother Maybelle as well. June is probably as famous for marrying Johnny Cash as she is in her own right, though she did make a lot of appearances on various country variety shows over the years.
