Waylon Jennings “Lady in the Harbor”

One of my favorite Waylon songs, in which he sings about not always reaching our ideals, but holding on to hope, even in the midst of corruption and dissipation. Originally released in 1982, this superior version is from the Watergate era. Written by Doug Gilmore, Jerry Allison & Sonny Curtis.

Hopeless

This is what country music is all about. Lyricism and poetry about the nasty gunk from all walks of life. I love Townes so much. The outlaws outlaw

Who is the absolute ultimate Country Rock guitarist of all time?

Our discussion about Sweetheart of the Rodeo got me thinking about the musicians who defined the actual sound of the genre. For me, it is Clarence White.

His flatpicking bluegrass background gave him insane speed, but what he did when he plugged in an electric Telecaster changed music history. Inventing the B-Bender device with Gene Parsons so he could bend strings to sound exactly like a pedal steel guitar was pure genius. Tracks like his electric work on The Byrds' later records are just flawless.

Is Clarence the undisputed king of country rock guitar, or do you think the crown belongs to someone else like Dickey Betts (Allman Brothers), Don Felder (The Eagles), James Burton, or Al Perkins? Let's hear your picks!

What is the ultimate Country Rock album of all time?

For me, nothing beats the Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo. The pedal steel work by Lloyd Green is just unmatched. Do you agree, or is there another album that defines the genre better? Let's hear your favorites!
