What happened this week in Classic Country Music?
Color-changing Text *****Let’s two-step through them years like a tumbleweed in a Texas twister: 1924: Gordon Stoker, born in Gleason, Tennessee, sang with the Jordanaires—Elvis, Patsy, and Jim Reeves rode their tunes like broncos at a rodeo. Gordon tipped his hat and rode off to the big honky-tonk in the sky.***** 1927: Ralph Peer, that ol’ music wrangler, corralled Jimmie Rodgers in a dusty Bristol warehouse. Jimmie sang sweet as a moonshine sip, pocketed a hundred bucks, and rode off into the hillbilly sunset.***** 1953: Randy Scruggs, Nashville-born and pickin’ like a chicken on a Junebug, jammed with Waylon, George, and Emmylou. Grammy in his pocket, he waltzed off to the Grand Ole Opry in the sky.***** 1970: Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton cut an album, “Once More,” like a pair of lovebirds on a front porch swing. “Daddy Was an Old Time Preacher Man” crooned its way to Grammy nods.***** 1974: Billy “Crash” Craddock’s “Rub It In” topped the charts, slicker than a greased pig at the county fair. Layng Martine wrote it, Crash sang it, and Ray Stevens spun the jukebox.***** 1999: Patsy Cline got her Hollywood star, shinin’ brighter than a rhinestone on a Saturday night. “Crazy,” “Sweet Dreams,” and “Walkin’ After Midnight” echoed through the holler.***** 2010: Taylor Swift’s “Fifteen” danced at the MTV hoedown, kickin’ dust with Beyonce, Ke$ha, Gaga, and Katy. Country met pop, and the barn doors swung wide.***** There ya have it, friend! Years lassoed, spun, and sung like a country ballad under a moonlit sky.***** ...
