A country music treasure/legend badly missed in what sadly ĺooks like a declinig world of country music still Boxcar Willie left a treasure trove of country music
@digitaldeath18762 жыл бұрын
The reason I know who boxcar is. My grandfather raised me as his son. He could do the train horn just like boxcar Willie. And I mean just like him or better. He couldn't sing but he could do the train horn🤣. I miss my daddy the man I called Pap. He was born in 1933. People from that generation were a different breed. Including boxcar Willie

my Father born 1939 introduced me to Boxcar Willie, Johnny Horton, Conway Twitty, and so many more. Before his time came I introduced him to The Devil Makes Three, Hank the Third, and the Pine Box Boys. Before his death he finally got to hear some of that old time sound come back around. Thanks for the stroll down that lonesome highway.

Love Boxcar Willie. I always felt he was underrated as a performer. I can't understand why. He was Great. 🚂
@DennisMurphey9 ай бұрын
He may not have written the songs he played but by God he made the songs vibrate in your chest. Wreck of the old 97 was never sung better. I like Johnny Cash but Boxcar was one of kind. RIP His music will never die. It's to soul shaking and foot tapping.
