    The country music thread

    Here we go: a long-overdue thread devoted to country music. Most of the threads I start wind up becoming my own personal blogs because hardly anyone else ever posts anything. I would love for other Sirius Buzz members to participate here. This is a discussion site, after all.

    Bakersfield post office is named for hometown boy Merle Haggard

    For your amazement and amusement, here is a small sample of the playlist for the online Red White & Booze channel. In many instances, the channel is playing only three or four songs by artists who have had dozens of big hits. If a song isn't likely to be on a jukebox in a barroom, forget it! Chart positions are from the Billboard country chart.

    This is from the Taste Of Country website, April 8:

    Jo Dee Messina releases brand-new inspirational song, Bigger Than This

    When Jo Dee Messina was diagnosed with cancer last year, the 47-year-old singer admitted the ordeal seriously tested her faith. However, thankfully, she's now feeling better and she has a new song that came out of that intense struggle. The singer shared the song April 7 during a world-premiere performance on Huckabee, which you can hear at http://tasteofcountry.com/jo-dee-mes...ger-than-this/

    The lyrics speak of being overwhelmed, with "waves crashing in" and "darkness surrounding," before going into the uplifting chorus: "My God is bigger than this. His love is greater." Messina's song is available for download at https://jodeemessina.selz.com/item/b...-song-download

    Last night's ACM Awards ceremony took place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, not far from the site of the country music festival where 58 died and 851 were injured October 1 when a gunman opened fire. Jason Aldean, who was performing when the shooting started, opened the Awards telecast -- not with a song but with a message about the healing power of music and the strength of country artists and fans coming together as a community in the wake of the shooting. Here are the award nominees and winners:

    Today is Memorial Day. We should honor and thank our veterans every day, not just on the last Monday in May. Here are two must-read articles from the Taste Of Country website:

    Here is a small sample of the playlist of SiriusXM's Bakersfield Beat channel, which is curated by Dwight Yoakam and, not surprisingly, plays a lot of Dwight Yoakam songs. Chart positions are from the Billboard country chart or, if followed by an "h," the Hot 100. Leonard Sipes' first record is on the list. On all his subsequent records, he called himself Tommy Collins. (He was the subject of Merle Haggard's 1981 hit Leonard.) And the Farmer Boys' song was co-written by a 27-year-old up-and-coming singer named Alvis "Buck" Owens.

    I wonder if she'll be working 9 to 5.

    Dolly Parton is making an eight-episode Netflix series based on her songs

    Today The Washington Post published a story detailing why so many country singers nowadays sing drinking songs and why country singers who crave "authenticity" look to Hank Williams, who died of drug abuse and alcohol abuse at 29. Ummm.....maybe there are better role models than ol' Hank.

    I wonder if Naomi and Wynonna would have been equally as successful if they had used their real names: Diana and Christina. By the way, Wynonna adapted her stage name from the Lakota word winona, which means "first-born daughter."
