Hank Williams Jr. had a big hit song in 1982 titled, "A Country Boy Can Survive". He sang about the end of time, high interest rates, low stock market and crime. Are we better off than we were then?
The singer John Denver and the song writers Bill and Taffy Danhoff had never been to West Virginia when they created the song "Take Me Home Country Roads".
The greatest country song of all time was nearly impossible to produce. George Jones was at a low point of his career. He was sick and uncooperative but his talent surfaced and we now have "He Stopped Loving Her Today".
