Where I grew up, "Black Velvet" played on pop stations.  And nobody knew quite how to categorize Bonnie Raitt.

But I like 'em both, whatever category they're in.

I think Robbins was the greatest of Country singers. He, of course crossed the line into popular music. He added romance to the "old west". He was also kind of the real deal. He grew up in Arizona, his mother was Paiute Indian and he was a veteran. What a voice! What a personality!

I enjoyed Marty Robbins immensely but the story of his being Paiute and in some articles Choctaw seems to be somewhat of a myth. His birth certificate shows white as does his parents and grand parents.

Irregardless he was one hell of a singer.

Yea, Marty Robbins was one of my early entries into the cowboy or C&W music.

Songs like "Big Bad John", "Robbins "Big Iron", "Ghost Riders In the Sky", etc really tripped my trigger back in the late 50's early 60's.

It was also about that time that I thought the Steel Guitar work I saw on "The Grand Ole Opry" was the coolest instrument ever.  

These days I still prefer the C&W ballads but with rougher edges.  Most of my favorites have already been mentioned but here are a few other artiest and songs I enjoy.

Big Iron- Marty Robbins

Ghost Riders in the Sky - steel guitar

John Fogerty - Rattlesnake Highway.

Steve Earle - Copperhead Road

Robert Earl Keen - Corpus Christi Bay

And for all you Texans and want-a-b Texans this is my favorite song about the Alamo.

From the opening, haunting refrains of "Deguello", (Slit Throat), played by Santa Anna to indicate that "No Quarter" would be given, to the final rousing chorus this song does that moment in history proud. (Personal Opinion only of course :)

Wagoneers - “Stout and high”

They gave all this land and promised a new start
For we who tried and lost
Now they say they want it back and take it back they will
They say at any cost

Come on Santa Anna
Give us your best try
Come on Santa Anna
These walls are stout and high

One by one, day by day the enemy floods the plains
There must be thousands out there
Colonel Travis talks of help, I hope it's comin' soon
Help is our only prayer

Come on Santa Anna
Give us your best try
Come on Santa Anna
These walls are stout and high

The Sunday dawn burned fiery red, degüello cut the air
Look out boys here they come
The more we kill the more there are, the closer that they get
The louder beats the drum

Come on Santa Anna
Give us your best try
Come on Santa Anna
These walls are stout and high

The fightin' at the northern wall seems to have stopped
Did you see Travis fall
God save Texas and my kids, have mercy on my soul
Great God they're in the wall!

Come on Santa Anna
Give us your best try
Come on Santa Anna
These walls are stout and high

A bit of history on ''Red River Valley'' many people think the song is about the Red River in Texas it is about the Red River Valley that forms the border between MN an ND and runs into Canada. The song was written by a Metis women to her white British lover just before the Metis Wars of 1875...Shades of Louis Riel.  

This is a great rendition of the song with Chris Issac and Stevie Nicks. 

The original words to ''Red River Valley''..

The Red River Valley

From this valley they say you are going,
I shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile,
For alas you take with the sunshine
That has brightened my pathway awhile.

Chorus:

Come and sit by my side if you love me,
Do not hasten to bid me adieu.
But remember the Red River Valley
And the girl who has loved you so true.

For this long, long time I have waited
For the words that you never would say,
But now my last hope has vanished
When they tell me you’re going away.

When you go to your home by the ocean
May you never forget the sweet hours
That we spent in the Red River Valley
Or the vows we exchanged mid the bowers.

Will you think of the valley you’re leaving?
Oh, how lonely and dreary ’twill be!
Will you think of the fond heart you’re breaking
And be true to your promise to me.

The dark maiden’s prayer for her lover
To the spirit that rules o’er the world
His pathway with sunshine may cover
Leave his grief to the Red River girl.

There could never be such a longing
In the heart of a white maiden’s breast
As dwells in the heart you are breaking
With love for the boy who came west.

I don't have anywhere near the knowledge of country music as I do of traditional and 60s folk music, but there are a few movies that have country music themes and some pretty good music - Tender Mercies, Nashville, I Walk the Line and Coal Miner's Daughter.  There are others - maybe I should do an article about them.

I still remember where I was the first time I heard Independence Day . I thought who is this because she is tiny but she has a huge voice.  I bought the CD the next day. The song still gives me chills.

Allison Kraus is another favorite. I saw her when she was about 21 because my sister lives close to the Bill Monroe's bluegrass festival in southern Indiana.  I couldn't believe that voice came from a relative teenager.

I'm making chicken and dumplings for the first time in over a decade and I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.  It seemed like a good day for soup but I didn't want just chicken soup with noodles.   I can make a decent buttermilk biscuit but this is not something that I grew up eating so I'm not real sure if I'm doing it right.

I made rolled dumplings and when I put them in the chicken stock they all stuck together, so I thought that I ruined it. They are now separate so I think that I'm ok. 

I've made these so many times that I have memorized the recipe.  I use a food processor so they are very simple.

You can use self-rising flour for that recipe, but you need to leave out the salt and baking powder that the recipe calls for because SRF already has it in it.  You need to use real butter in that recipe.  

The next time I make chicken and dumpling I need to remember to roll out the dumplings much thinner (closer to 1/8") because they were over a centimeter thick when they fluffed up in the stock.  They tasted fine but it took almost twice as long for them to cook.  I feel like I ate a brick, but it was really good.

Seasoned with garlic and onion powders, oregano and bay leaves, grated Parmesan cheese, fresh chopped mushrooms and onions and extra virgin olive oil.

Serve with hot pomegranite green tea.

Side of fresh greens salad with cured pitted olives and artichoke hearts vineagrette.

Good night to eat hot, snuggle by the fire place; maybe catch a movie on Netflix tonight.

This would be my first try at beef barley soup.

I've made it a few times and tried different methods but the barley always gives it a gummy and slimy texture. I know how to make perfect rice in 5 different ways but I'd either starve or be able to wear a size 5 if I had to eat barley on a regular basis. 

We got between 5 and 6 inches, but it's not quite done yet.  Schools are already closed tomorrow.

I had to make a run to get cat food about 3:00 pm and the roads are clear here. He had a chance to use the snowblower for the first time in over a year, so the driveway, sidewalks and most of the neighbor's walks are clear because he loves to play with loud toys.

Sturgill’s drummer Miles Miller and my oldest son were close friends in school.  My whole family is drummers......brother, my 2 sons, daughter in law, and 2 nephews.  Anyway, Miles had started school band playing trumpet or something but would come by our drum room and mess around on the kit.  One day, I was practicing Zeppelins “Fool in the Rain” as I have my whole life.  It’s a tricky song to get the groove just right.  Miles listened to it a few times, sat down and played it perfectly........it was clear he was an extremely gifted musician even at a young age.  Sturgills whole band are exceptional musicians......and their music is definitely worth sharing.

With the exceptions of Willie and Yoakam, most of the slop that passes for C&W today is just pop music with a goober accent. I stopped listening to C&W back in the early 70's when it started changing into some kind of glitter bullshit and country rock was becoming more popular. What they call country rock in C&W circles today is generally pretty pathetic. Rock and roll musicians took over ownership of C&W music in the late 60's. Byrds, New Riders, Poco, etc, etc, etc, etc.

Seems like the formula for success on the C&W side of the music business today is owning a guitar, being able to play it is optional, Having long hair, which cracks me up since I was around in the 60's/70's when these goobers were at the front of the anti-hippie movement. And an exaggerated southern accent, with a straw cowboy hat that looks like it was driven over after it left the store. I can only imagine what some of the great C&W musical legends that have passed on are looking down on what passes for C&W music are thinking about the cookie cutter crap coming out of Nashville today.

He sure was a outstanding talent. He, and now Danko are both gone. That only leaves Robbie Robertson and Garth Hudson.

Working Man's PhD _ Aaron Tippin

You get up every morning 'fore the sun comes up
Toss a lunchbox into a pickup truck
A long, hard day, sure ain't much fun
But you've gotta get it started if you wanna get it done
You set your mind and roll up your sleeves
You're workin' on a working man's Ph.D

With your heart in your hands and the sweat on your brow
You build the things that really make the world go around
If it works, if it runs, if it lasts, for years
You bet your bottom dollar, it was made right here
With pride, honor and dignity
From a man with a working man's Ph.D

Now there ain't no shame in a job well done
From driving a nail to driving a truck
As a matter of fact I'd like to set things straight
A few more people should be pullin' their weight
If you wanna cram course in reality
You get yourself a working man's Ph.D

When the quittin' whistle blows and the dust settles down
There ain't no trophies or cheering crowds
You'll face yourself at the end of the day
And be damn proud of whatever you've made
Can't hang it on the wall for the world to see
But you've got yourself a working man's Ph.D

Now there ain't no shame in a job well done
From driving a nail to driving a truck
As a matter of fact, I'd like to set things straight
A few more people should be pullin' their weight
If you wanna cram course in reality
You get yourself a working man's Ph.D
