Just heard that. Man I hate it. Great loss.

Weird. We were just listening to Pancho and Lefty this morning at work.

Merle did real country music, not this pathetic crap that's hot right now (FL/GA Line, Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt, etc.). I weep for society the more these new artists, performing this bastardized version of country, keep making the charts.

Check the music thread. Plenty of real country with a lot of soul being made today.
