(FOUR) HANK WILLIAMS JR(PRE OCTOBER 2011)
Before he said some stupid closed minded bigotry stuff, I’d have Hank Junior higher on this list. I don’t agree with his opinion at all, but he’s one of those types you HAVE to respect. He’s one of the last gritty old school country and western style singers. Still, I don’t know any of his music other than his old Monday Night Football songs. Then again, maybe he’s not that cool. I wrote a paragraph about him none the less. Moving on…
(THREE) RANDY TRAVIS
I couldn’t tell you one Randy Travis song at all. If I heard his voice, I could most likely pick it out of a line-up though. He’s not a typical wanna-be cowboy country singer and I think that’s what I don’t hate about him. You never saw him wear a cowboy hat and that’s cool. He has also had some fun acting spots in Matlock, King of the Hill, and other places.
(TWO) THE OAK RIDGE BOYS
My grandma really liked them. Again, they aren’t typical cowboy crap. They’re sorta like the old southern version of a Boys II Men. The dude with the long beard was always cool and I even liked his temporary replacement. The fact that I know THAT much about them and I can name one of their songs makes them awesome. Yep. “Elvira”.
(ONE) WILLIE NELSON
If you don’t love Willie Nelson then you don’t deserve to experience love yourself. Willie Nelson is like Grandpa Weed. Even if you don’t enjoy nature’s fruit, you’d smoke with Willie. Willie makes music with Snoop Dogg, gets arrested, and still blazes the trail going on 80. He’s going to live forever and I’m cool with that.
