But he had an incredible career and he did a lot to spread traditional country music, especially through TV and his European tours. Of course, part of the problem is that only dogs could hear him!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05266475919252239220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344993590139159352.post-67282857605117837192019-08-10T12:23:32.281-04:002019-08-10T12:23:32.281-04:00For whatever reason, Slim Whitman simply doesn'...For whatever reason, Slim Whitman simply doesn't get much play these days on traditional (oldie) country stations.<br />I'm not sure I've ever heard Eddie Stubbs play a Slim Whitman song.

During the interview portion, T. Graham said that he has been on the Opry over 300 times! Makes you wonder why they never made his a member. <br /><br />I can remember in the 90s and early 2000s that he was on the Opry quite often, then was not on the show for what seemed like a decade. Over the past couple of years, he has been back on, averaging around 8-10 appearances per year. In my opinion, he could be like another Mark Wills. A veteran artist who is still active but not touring much, and with time to do the Opry and support the show. T. Graham also has the right personality to host segments. Just my thought.

I always thought her downfall was when she put out a rockin', new country album, "Never Love You Enough" with a single "Jezebel" that totally stunk! The video was horrible and that's when I noticed she had lost every bit of her momentum. bigCmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01650808771248854737noreply@blogger.com
