I REALLY hope you see this comment (From an old-timer) because here are my top recommendations. Love your review, BTW!! You need to hear more growl from him. He’s truly one of THE BEST Classic Country singers. Please, pour a whiskey and try “Rainy Night in Georgia”. (Epic in my opinion). Also, “Hello Darlin’’, “Slow Hand”, “I’d Love to Lay You Down”, ”Don’t Take it Away”, “It’s Only Make Believe”, and “Tight Fittin’ Jeans”.

"Saturday Night Special" is a great forgotten classic story song, with a surprise ending. I won't tell you anything about it, because...like I said, it is a surprise. The only thing I will say, because it may not be a known cultural reference in Great Britain, is that a Saturday night special is a small cheap pistol, and the story involves the main character buying one from a pawnshop. "Don't Cry Joni" was a special song that he saved for the singing debut of his 16 year old daughter Joni Lee, who had been begging her father for a chance to join him on stage. It is a song about a young teenage girl, who very much wants the older boy next door to wait for her to grow up a bit and be her boyfriend. But he can't see it, and won't wait for her. So he tells her not to cry, and moves away as he becomes an adult. I'll leave the story there...for you to discover the rest of it if you choose. Both of these songs are absolute classic gold! Top shelf country music, from back in the day.

Conway Twitty was one of the great voices of our generation; a pioneer of the Rock n Roll era. To get the young, fresh sound of his voice, I recommend this black and white video of his; "Only Make Believe". I believe this was made around 1960, maybe a little before. He was right there when it all began, then later changed to Country. A true legend!!

I miss him still. Listen to his duets with another legend Loretta Lynn.

Anyone who has had a daddy not just a father knows the truth that lies within this song. Daddy's do everything for their children to ensure their children have better lives then they had and will do anything to make their children's dreams come true. But more than that they do it with love compassion desire and never count the sacrifices they make to make sure their children live their dreams. That is why this song touches so many.

I've known this song since it came out, it's always touched me, but I didn't exactly resonate with it until certain milestones in my life brought it to the forefront of my mind. Then there is this year. On Halloween, I had to call for an ambulance to pick up my dad because he had been coughing, and then suddenly he became REALLY confused. He just turned 80 years old September 18th, my mom JUST turned 78 years old on Oct 20th, and she was the one we were worried about since she is in poor health, has early stage Alzheimer's, and is going deaf. Dad had his issues, but he's a tough old guy, or so we thought. Long story short, he got COVID, and because he was coughing so much and was congested, it lowered the oxygen levels in his blood and to his brain, which is what brought out the confusion and even hallucinations. He thought we lived in a small town near here, we never lived there, we've lived in one place for 46 years. When my mom asked him where his home was, he pointed at her and said, "My home is with you!" Anyway, he was having a lot of problems breathing, and would fight to take his oxygen mask off so much they had to soft restrain him. He went downhill from there, and now is intubated, with tubes in both lungs, he's on dialysis, because toxins in his blood and from his heart is putting strain on his body, and he's on blood thinners and other blood products. He's in a really rough spot now, but he's fighting. My birthday was November 9th, and we couldn't visit him until 10 days after we last saw him, and since my birthday was 10 days after, I really wanted to see him on my birthday. Unfortunately, I didn't see him then. But my mom and I got to see him today! He's improved somewhat, but in a medically induced coma. He reacted to us talking to him, holding his hand, and stroking his head. There is still hope. Anyway, this song popped in into my head, as well as a few others. Hearing them now, and watching your reactions and comments, it's hard but cathartic, and I don't know what I'll do if/when my dad passes away. It's hard to contemplate him being gone, since he's been at my mom's side for so long. They dated for 8 years, after meeting at my grandfather's funeral. When I was on the way, they married, and have been together as husband and wife for 46 years, together for 54 years! They never argued, never raised their voice in anger, they have loved each other from day one. It was very much like Collin Raye's "Love, Me." Which is sort of an actual story between them, as that is how they wrote to each other on cards and etc. It's a rare kind of relationship they have, and one that seems to become more and more rare when you hear about divorce rates, and people breaking up over stupid things. I've been extremely blessed! Hopefully, I can have more time with my dad before it truly is his time. I still don't know what I'll do without him or my mom. I can only hope that I can lead my family well, take care of their wishes, and lead a life that follows their example. That's when I can say "That's my job, that's what I do" and not have to rely on my folks anymore.

His love for my mother, my 5 siblings and I was apparent in every little thing he did, and he was a giant in my eyes. I hope he is proud of us all, I know for sure he has been gently guiding all of us on our individual journeys through our lives. To all the men out there who work so hard to raise their children to be the best possible people…God Bless you all. 💖

This song was "our song" for my dad and me. It basically tells our story... I idolized him as a kid, we fought like cats and dogs when I was a youth (especially when I moved away to try to make it in music), and at the age of 42 I moved back within a few miles. This song came out when I was a teenager and after that, any time I'd ask for his help he'd say, "That's my job." Then when I was 45 he was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer. He was very adamant he didn't want to die in some hospital. Then about 6 months after he was diagnosed I went to his house and found he had fallen and couldn't get up. That night I sent out emails to all my clients saying I was taking a leave of absense, and I moved into his house. I took care of him for the last three months of his life, and he died in his own bed like he wanted. One of the last nights before he died I helped him get to his bed and he grabbed my hand and said how much he loved me and how much he appreciated me coming to help him go through it. I just leaned into his ear and said, "That's my job."
