I was looking forward to just looking up my favorite country songs and posting them this week. What I've found, however, is that a lot of country sounds awful live. When you have to scream your drawl over cheering fans, it's really bad. Also, some of my favorite artists just don't sound that good out of the studio.
Blackhawk, to my pleasant surprise, sounds exactly the same. They're not my favorite band, but now I have more respect for them.
Van Stephenson on the far right died in 2001 of skin cancer. Country fans will notice Ricky Skaggs, not part of the band, in the mix here.
