PORTER WAGONER
1927-2007
Heaven's a lot brighter tonight, 'cause one of country
music's greatest legends have gone up. Of course, my dear
friend Porter's star will have more sparkle than most, since
that's the way he always was here on earth! An original can
never be replaced, and that's just what he was. Porter was a
gift to country music, and that gift will live on through
his music. As with all of his family, friends, and fans, I
will miss him so much.

plain-spoken singer-songwriter who grew up poor in Kentucky
and delivered four kids by her 18th birthday has taken her
place in the pantheon of country-music legends.

'YOU HAVE TO WRITE FROM THE HEART'
By GEORGE LENKERA
Few country music purists probably raised their eyebrows
when Loretta Lynn hired rocker Jack White to produce her
2004 CD, "Van Lear Rose," but they need not have worried.
"It is the most country album I ever made," Lynn said with a
laugh in a telephone interview last week. "The rock guy came
in and made it a lot more country than any other record I've
done." more! |

"WILL YOU VISIT ME ON SUNDAY" Marty's new
Compares' CD compiles 14 various duets he's recorded with other stars on assorted albums over the years. One of the two new collaborations is this dynamite, mournful wailer with the fabulous Loretta. When they open their throats together on the choruses, you're in the presence of country majesty. This classic Dallas Frazier song has been recorded by many, including Charlie Louvin, Merle Haggard and George Jones, but it has never sounded better than it does here. Turn it up and shout, "Hallelujah." |
