my Dad's vinyl...

[CRAZY-HORSE]

JOHNNY TILLOTSON "the best of..." vinyl, 1968

he wrote one of the most iconic lonesome country songs of all time in It Keeps Right On a-Hurtin',
sung a lot of covers, as everyone did back then but also wrote hits for Andy Williams, Everly Brothers,
Elvis Presley and numerous other stars back in the day.
problem I have, especially with his sad songs is that he still sounds cheerful and poppy, not too much
emotion conveyed in his vocals.
not a bad singer I guess, nothing on here I don't like but only one I love
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

my dad still sings this as he ventures down the bottom of his garden to fill the birdfeeders with seed.
