Volume 207: Good Country Record 1

Here’s a fun find from this collection. My father really loved his country music too besides all that jazz, pop and classical.

This is the kind of country and western music that was kind of between the fiddle-led twang of early country and the days of outlaw country, although you will hear one of those outlaws from his early days first.

This album is filled with memorable songs and some great memories that went beyond those songs. You know how music triggers those.

So, get ready to hear several great singers from what I think was a great era in Volume 207: Good Country Record 1.
