Classic Country Music Fans--Which are your favorites??
In country music there are many artists who do what are called recitation songs where they speak some of the words. Some artists that do a great job of these songs in my opinion are Red Foley,Hank Williams Sr. & Porter Wagoner. Please tell us who you favorites are and if you would like you can name the songs. Thanks

Well, I'm not a big country fan, but sweet Dolly can write a song that really tells a story like The Coat of Many Colors and who isn't moved when she does the recitation in I Will Always Love You? Oh, and although it's just an introduction, I will always like to hear Conway, saying, "Hello, darling. Nice to see you." Nice question.

One of my favorites is off of a concept c.d. titled "White Mansions". The track is called "They Laid Waste To Our Land". I forgot who sang the song but the narrative part was done by Waylon talkin' bout the horrors that General Shermon done to the good folks in Georgia.
I also really like "Mama Hated Diesels" by Commander Cody.
