This concerns Larry Jordan's comments on today's silencing on Facebook too.

When did Country Music stop sounding Country? (PART 2)




It comes as no surprise that Jim is not mentioned.
Again, Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline gets more attention.

Marty Robbins is mentioned prominently having a hit with a pop sounding "Singing the Blues" in january 1957.

It seems to me that Cash, Cline and George Jones are the popular country stars of yesteryear today.

I made a comment going approximately like this:

"I listened to the Marty Robbins recording and it sounds like straight country to me. It features a prominent steel guitar, guitar and country piano fills.

In my opinion Jim Reeves with his 1957 hit "Four Walls" was the inventor of the Nashville Sound.

Patsy Cline is a legend, and deservedly so, but she did not, in fact, have a Nashville Sound hit until "I Fall to Pieces" in 1961.

Johnny Cash, to me, doesn't sound like country. He had a style of his own."

He even mentioned Cal Smith in the text in the video. I think he meant Carl Smith who was a lot more successful than Cal. Cal was a guitarist and singer in Ernest Tubbs band.

This censoring is infuriating...
